9st 3lb |
Progressive in 2023, 2024 and 2025; that included getting pipped in the 2024 Cesarewitch (2m2f, soft) and two big runs last year at Goodwood; runner-up in his 2024 and 2025 reappearances, though not in such good races as this one; would have a lot more to prove on good to firm ground than good or softer, but this 2026 return is off a competitive mark. |

9st 0lb |
Won five-runner race here (upped to 2m, good) in May and made most when fifth of 20 in the Northumberland Plate at Newcastle (2m, AW); no room over 1f out at Newbury two weeks ago but the speed with which he dropped out when jockey gave up was still rather disconcerting; place chance if bouncing back. |

8st 13lb |
Disappointed in this race last year and the form of his close third over C&D that September has not been matched; second of six at Ascot on penultimate start was his best show this term but he needs better than that. |

Won the Shergar Cup Stayers handicap over C&D last August and he was back to that level when second over 1m6f here (good to firm) a fortnight ago; remains on a competitive mark and needs respect. |
