Useful 7f winner for William Muir last term and shaped promisingly on debut for new yard in Victoria Cup. Unable to build on that since, though.

Progressive handicapper last autumn, winning 3 times at up to 1m. Built on reappearance effort when runner-up at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) 12 days ago and warrants respect.

Landed Kempton novice (7f) sole start as a 2-y-o. Very lightly raced since and work to do after disappointing over longer trip at Haydock last time.

Back near best form when third of 7 in handicap at Bath (8f, firm) 8 days ago, very slowly away. Can race off same mark again but this looks a much deeper contest.

Tricky customer yet highly capable when on song, ending losing run in 1m Ascot handicap in April. Back to that level when unlucky sixth here latest and enters calculation in first-time visor.

Dual 1m2f winner who signed off with good fourth in Newbury handicap last term. Back to form when fourth at Doncaster latest but drop in trip not guaranteed to suit. Tongue strap on first time.

Dual winner in 2020 and run creditably in defeat in recent starts, latest when fifth of 9 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm, 11/2) 12 days ago. Can make presence felt.

Turned in best effort of the season when close second of 15 in handicap (9/1) at Carlisle (7.8f, good to firm) last month. 2 lb rise fair and is another to consider.

Yet to really fire this year and is still looking for first success on turf. Makes limited appeal.

An imposing type who shaped well when third in a hot race at Newbury (7f) on reappearance. Wasn't in same form in Esher Cup 7 days later but remains low mileage.

Off the mark at Nottingham in May and upped game further when following up in 5-runner handicap at Leicester (8.2f, good, 5/4) 26 days ago. 6 lb higher now but likely has more to give yet.
