'Unexposed handicap debut and his penultimate effort reads particularly well'

'2m4f perhaps a stretch at Ascot and he's a C&D winner; soft ground preferred'

'3rd in the Northumberland Plate (AW); has form claims but wouldn't want much rain'

'Well held in the Ascot Stakes; career-high mark spells danger in this strong a handicap'

'Slow starter; won at Ayr but this is way deeper and he always comes with risks'

'Five of his last six wins have come in conditions races and he's better on the AW'

'Fourth in the AW Plate latest; won't be far away should new blinkers have positive effect'

'Flashes of good form at about 2m and it could be that he needs a staying trip these days'

'Had another good Royal Ascot over further; solid performer at 2m; not far away'

'Three wins for previous yard; reappearance encouraging and 2m may suit'

'All three wins have been with give underfoot and possibilities should it get wet'

'Not much has gone right in his two attempts at staying trips; may yet do better'

'Back to form on the AW and perhaps Ascot doesn't suit him; unraced beyond 1m4f'
