'Dropped in distance when fifth in the Ayr Gold Cup; should be in the thick of things again'

'Won Ayr Gold Cup last time despite having to wait for run; not overburdened with 4lb rise'

'Admirable sort with a fine strike-rate but well held in Listed race at Redcar last week'

'5f winner at Ripon in April but slim pickings since; vulnerable'

'Dead-heated over C&D before fast-finishing fourth in the Ayr Gold Cup; big chance'

'Not beaten far after slow start in Ayr Gold Cup; would be helped by plenty of rain'

'A regular in the top sprint handicaps; won over C&D at the Dante meeting; in the mix again'

'Winning stable debut at Thirsk six weeks ago; goes well at York; still looks well treated'

'Winless since spring 2022 and finished nearer last than first at Ascot last Friday'

'In sparkling form in the height of summer (won Stewards' Cup) but disappointing since'

'Having fourth run in this race; back to form to win at the Curragh last month; chance'

'Running well in defeat this year, second in Stewards' Cup; again unlikely to be far away'

'0-12 this year but retains ability and had an excuse last time; may well bounce back'

'Standing dish in top sprint handicaps but has to bounce back from poor run in Ayr Gold Cup'

'Two wins here and might have been unsuited by slow ground here three weeks ago'

'Unplaced all starts this year; gelded before last run and has had wind surgery since'

'Has been in a lull of late, only 13th in the Ayr Gold Cup'

'Ayr Silver Cup winner; another personal best needed to follow up but he's thriving'

'Subdued in main this year but has plummeted in the weights and not beaten far last twice'

'Disappointing since last year's Royal Ascot win; needs wind op to have had positive effect'

'Lightly raced 3yo; no threat in 7f handicap here in May; something to prove back sprinting'

'Underwhelming of late; lower in the weights than for a while but others appeal more'
