Dual course winner (both 7f, good) who turned in a solid effort when second to a progressive rival on his C&D comeback (nudged up 2lb) in March; happiest coming from off a strong pace and the question is whether this will be run to suit on good to firm ground.
Not much room for manoeuvre off this mark but has resumed in good form, latterly when inclined to pull hard at Newmarket (6f) in a race not run to suit; usually ridden patiently these days but has made all more than once in the past; a lot may hinge on how things unfold early.
Impressive on her Kempton AW debut last September and easily defied a penalty from the front on Tapeta (both 6f) a fortnight later; dam won a French Group 3 over this trip and she's the only one open to improvement back from seven months off; market informative.
Yard going well and won this in 2023 and 2024; solid comeback behind Akkadian Thunder over C&D five weeks ago, when picked off late by four who'd sat in the rear, and is 3lb better off with that one; player.
Often inclined to pull hard over this trip in the past and was kept to 5f last year, when winning three times; undergone wind surgery since last seen six months ago and will need to settle in tonight's small field if he's to have a chance off this mark.
C&D win last summer came off 18lb lower and he returns to turf 10lb higher than when last running on grass, thanks to a consistent spell on Tapeta; will need something close to a career-best to take this and he's not improving at his age.
