He hasn't had a great deal of racing since July 2024 but, two wind surgeries and a gelding operation later, he has shown he retains a good chunk of his former ability (Group 2 winner at best) this year, in a tongue-tie on last two starts; finished just behind Soldier's Tree when fifth in the Wokingham (6f, good to firm) but was in front of that rival in a Group 3 at Newbury two weeks ago; 3lb well in and has the ability to feature but his tendency to forfeit ground at the start isn't ideal in a race of this depth.

Won five of his ten starts for Richard Fahey, notably a local Group 3 in Qatar in November 2024; absent for 593 days prior to his second of six at Pontefract (6f, good) in July; struggled in the Stewards' Cup last time but he's edging down the weights and could still come good for this yard; ran well in his one visit to Ascot.

Won five of his ten starts for Richard Fahey, notably a local Group 3 in Qatar in November 2024; absent for 593 days and gelded prior to his stable debut at Pontefract (6f, good) last month, a race in which he was caught out wide but plugged on for second behind the thriving easy winner; clearly retains ability but this will demand much more.

Useful for Richard Fahey, winning five times the latest of which was a 7f handicap in Qatar in November 2024; makes his debut for his new yard (gelded in the meantime) and, like his stablemate The Strikin Viking, whether he is on a favourable mark remains to be seen; the choice of James Doyle, though, so interesting to see what the market says.

Big chance on his 3yo best but he hasn't got anything going in three runs in big sprint handicaps this year (had wind operation prior to his return); conditions should be fine and the new cheekpieces could give him a lift; revival not out of the question.

Smart operator on AW and although his turf form lags slightly behind, his second at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) in July was a cracking effort; ran poorly in the Stewards' Cup five weeks ago and he's 2lb higher today; unwise to rule him out at a track he has run well at in the past.

Best known for his AW exploits but he is fine on turf and has a lower mark in this sphere; went desperately close at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) 15 days ago, a race in which the first two pulled clear in the closing stages from a subsequent winner; 2lb ahead of the handicapper and he was successful on his only visit to Goodwood; interesting.

Surged to the front 1f out when dominant in this race (good to soft) 12 months ago; 7lb higher this time around but he was better than ever when second in a hot handicap at Ascot last week (7f, good to firm) when coming from further back than ideal; 2lb ahead of the handicapper and he has a fine chance of becoming the fifth horse to win back-to-back Stewards' Cups (Commanche Falls in 2021 and 2022 was the latest).
