'Close second in this in 2022 (his peak year) but ninth in it last year (2lb lower today)'

'Close third at Goodwood (1m6f) latest and looks worth this second Flat attempt at 2m'

'Wide draw is a ready excuse for Chester Cup last time and he has an each-way chance'

'Second at 20-1 in valuable handicap over C&D at Easter (2lb higher today); one to note'

'Third and sixth in last two C&D Vases on this card; running well but others are preferred'

'Won Chester Cup; creditable 6th off this 8lb higher mark at Royal Ascot; not proven on AW'

'Chasing before sold out of G Elliott's for 9,000gns this February; equipment is removed'

'12lb higher than when winning this 12 months ago, which surely demands a career best'

'Did well on AW this year, including C&D, but probably needs to hit new heights; wind op'

'Minor role when upped to 1m6f at Royal Ascot but ran respectably and stuck to his task'

'No win since 2022 but close, strong-finishing third in Chester Cup last May was unlucky'

'Third in this race last year off 5lb lower; looked better than ever on penultimate start'

'Hit a new high two runs ago; not having raced beyond 1m4f gives him big question to answer'

'Close second in this race in 2023; 4lb lower today and made a satisfactory return in March'

'Relatively lightly raced, still looks capable of better; such a wide draw is chief concern'

'The handicapper needs to show some mercy; more to prove with new trip'

'Progressive before a lesser show at Royal Ascot (good to firm) 11 days ago; drawn widest'

'Backward steps last two starts (February and April); had wind surgery since; 2m is a worry'

'Disappointing last two runs, denting good records for both AW and 2m; off three months'

'Pulled up at 150-1 in the Triumph (hurdle debut); this should be much more his cup of tea'
