'Some good C&D form when with James Fanshawe but is frustrating; no win since 2022'

'Record of 12112 over 7f includes a good effort at Ascot; big player back at this trip'

'Low-mileage Irish 5yo; has shown signs that there's a good prize in him; major claims'

'Two defeats in this race emphasise that he's far more exposed than some of these rivals'

'Record is 3-8; ran creditably on reappearance; upped in class but may do better still'

'Record is largely solid; creditable second on AW finals day most recently; should go well'

'Big chance on peak form but has failed to win since 2023, which doesn't inspire confidence'

'Haydock win last time took his record in 7f handicaps to 5-5; respected kept to this trip'

'Smart on his day but losing run goes back to 2023; similar type to Witch Hunter'

'All wins over 1m and stays 1m2f; drop back to 7f looks a negative'

'Did well last summer; not in the same form since; best watched'

'Close fourth in major handicap over C&D last July; that form puts him in the picture'

'Better than ever at Newbury on reappearance but isn't crying out for drop back to 7f'

'Sole C&D attempt resulted in a ready success at Royal Ascot last year; interesting'

'Largely productive last term but faces a stiffer task at this level'

'Newmarket reappearance win took his record to 4-6; further progress is plausible'

'Both wins off 4lb lower, including on AW last time; now on career-high mark'
