Record of 1-18 isn't bet compelling but he is largely consistent, finishing placed for the fourth time in his last 5 starts when second of 6 at Newbury (1½m) 10 days ago. Has a first-time hood combined with refitted cheekpieces.

Consistent type who finally got his head in front when stepped up to 2m at Kempton 10 days ago. Fully effective on turf and should remain competitive up 4 lb.

Won off 3 lb higher on AW last spring but hasn't offered much in 2 comeback outings in recent weeks.

Good second of 8 in handicap at Nottingham (1¾m, firm) 10 days ago. Big player under Oisin Murphy.

Yet to win on turf and his latest run at Goodwood doesn't suggest a first win on the grass is imminent.

Winner over 1½m at Newbury last summer for Ian Williams. Faded into sixth on Kempton hurdle and stable debut over Christmas and well held back on the Flat at Musselburgh in April. Has a first-time hood added to the tongue strap he wore in Scotland. Not obvious but William Buick has been booked.

Fair form in 3 outings on AW for Charlie Appleby last autumn and ran to a similar level when sixth of 9 in 1½m Doncaster handicap on his recent return for a new stable. Remains unexposed.

Twelve runs since last win in 2021 but is favourably handicapped if bouncing back to form after a 161-day break. One to monitor closely in the betting.
