Front runner who bolted up at Leicester in June then ran well in stronger company when second in Glorious Goodwood handicap (both over 1¼m). Likely still in form when sixth in Lanark Silver Bell over 1½m at Hamilton latest. Back down in trip/class and one for the shortlist.

In top form round here this summer, winning twice. Not discredited when fifth at Beverley (1¼m, heavy) 25 days ago. Looks high enough in the weights for now.

Capitalised on a career-low mark in 11-runner handicap at Redcar (1¼m, good) by 1¾ lengths from Percy's Daydream just over 2 weeks ago. Remains on a handy mark.

Picked up where he left off last season when winning on handicap debut at Doncaster on return in July with plenty in hand. Has run creditably on both outings since, finishing third in 5-runner race on the July course here last time, shaping as if needing stronger gallop.

Best effort this season when third at Windsor in May. In first-time cheekpieces when respectable fourth of 8 in handicap (11/2) at that course (1¼m, firm) last month. Is now 2 lb below last winning mark.

Shown plenty of promise since sent handicapping, winning at Ayr in August after a 4-month break. Unlucky not to win when neck second to Between Me And U at Carlisle last time, conceding first run. Can go well again but faces a hike in class on first go at this 2f longer trip.

One-time useful winner in France. Drew a blank for Joseph O'Brien last year and yet to seriously threaten for Tim Easterby, even though he's reached the frame on 3 outings. Cheekpieces discarded here.

Successful out in Bahrain in the winter and back to his useful best when ½-length second at Thirsk (form hardly robust) last month. Hasn't been seen to best effect on last 2 starts. May need a couple of these to falter.

Made good progress in 2025, winning 3 times, but hasn't quite been in the same form this campaign, albeit in some competitive handicaps last 2 starts. Needs this significant drop back in trip to spark a revival.
