'10yo with no joy over jumps lately but he can emerge as major player in good Flat handicap'
'High-class hurdler and his Royal Ascot run (2m4f) last year confirms he's on the shortlist'
'Broke his long losing run in handicap at Chester (2m2f, soft) two weeks ago from Emiyn'
'Beaten just over 10l when fifth in the C&D Trial when last seen; not proven on soft'
'Rarely seen on softer than good; otherwise looks set to go well after her C&D Trial second'
'Close fourth of 30 in Irish Cesarewitch at the Curragh (2m1f, soft) three weeks ago'
'Two 4ths and a 3rd in recent years from three tilts at this race, despite racing freely'
'Solid runs this year, including over 2m5f, but a career best is needed'
'7lb claimer recruited and they can go a lot better than big odds suggest'
'Hasn't gone on in handicaps and now hooded but his luckless run at Easter is not forgotten'
'Bold show in Irish Cesarewitch at the Curragh (2m, yielding) last year is the positive'
'Very well handicapped on peak ratings, including two runs back, but no win since 2019'
'Third of 19 off this mark at Royal Ascot (2m4f, good); soft ground would be a worry'
'Reappearance hope but well beaten since in Goodwood Cup, Ebor and a good conditions stakes'
'4th in this last year off same mark; career-best form when pipped in Chester Cup (soft)'
'C&D Trial win over Sheishybrid showed potential; 4lb out of the handicap but considered'
'Two good runs in summer 2020; absent until 16 days ago (finished last) but blinkers return'
'2nd to Tashkhan at Chester was career-best form; respected despite needing better still'
'Beaten about 11l when upped to 2m on Flat handicap debut at Chester last time'
'Has the tools to run well if she can adapt to this higher grade and much larger field'
'Well beaten in this in 2021 and 2022 and even further adrift in the Trial; soft may help'

'Tried to come from way back when eighth at 50-1 in the Irish Cesarewitch (2m1f, soft)'
'Well treated on best Group-race form; breezed home in front in Bangor maiden hurdle (soft)'

'Standout form to draw 27l clear at Ffos Las (1m6f, soft; 10lb higher today) two runs ago'

'Tailed off in Irish Cesarewitch (50-1, helped set the pace) on second run after long break'
'Tailed off in C&D Trial; player if only he could recapture initial British 2023 efforts'
