'Only a length away at Ascot a month ago in a race he won the previous season off 8lb lower'

'Looked all over the winner at Epsom until reeled in late on; turn looks near'

'Form claims; unraced on this faster ground but no reason why he shouldn't handle it'

'Close fourth at Newmarket (7f, good) where a true pace would have been welcomed'

'After a slow start he did well to finish so close at York and thereabouts with a repeat'

'Quiet comeback run but now tongue tied and the ability is there to take a hand'

'Consistent handicapper but off since November and this run might be needed'

'Losing spell goes back to 2020 and he's not been threatening to end the drought'

'Slow starts can hold him back but the ability is there to take a hand'
