Form & Verdict
Drawn on the wrong side at Royal Ascot on handicap debut and was a heavily backed winner at Glorious Goodwood (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago, when making most; he did it in good style and a 9lb rise may not stop him this afternoon; ran well on good to soft last August, unraced on softer.

Built upon 2yo promise to win big-field maiden at Newbury (1m, good) on reappearance and when 13th of 30 in the Britannia at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) he was third of 15 in the far-side group; possible player.

Encouraging runs behind Group-class horses last season; back from a lengthy break and a gelding operation when the workmanlike winner of a big-field maiden at Newbury (1m, good) that's produced a stack of winners; unexposed and respected.

Form & Verdict
Won two in a row at Chester (6f/7f, soft/good) in June and respectable efforts at Chester (7.5f, good) and Glorious Goodwood (7f, good to firm) since; however, he needs something extra on today's first attempt at 1m if he's to land a competitive handicap such as this.

Made it 2-3 when winning on handicap debut at Ascot (1m, good) in May and second of 30 in the Britannia at the Royal meeting there (1m, good to firm) in June; he's 5lb higher than last time but is unexposed and could have plenty more to offer; firmly in calculations; unraced on slow ground.

Form & Verdict
Three wins from his five starts, awarded the race at Ripon (1m, good to firm) last month due to interference (Command The Stars demoted); however, it was a small field last time and he could be vulnerable now back into a more competitive contest; unraced on slow ground.

2-2 in France last year (6.5f/1m, soft/very soft); yet to pose a threat in Britain but he kept on from the rear for 4l 11th of 19 behind Exclusive Code at Glorious Goodwood (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago, which was encouraging, and he could be a serious force on today's slower ground.

Form & Verdict
Well-beaten favourite on debut at Salisbury (7f, soft) in June but left that behind to win in a first-time tongue-tie (retained since) at Kempton (7f, AW); clear second under a penalty at Thirsk (1m, good) three weeks ago and this 450,000gns half-brother to multiple Group/Grade 1 winner Romantic Warrior could be on a good mark for this first handicap start.
