Landed a second major handicap at Newcastle when bagging Northumberland Plate in June. Acquitted himself well in face of some stern assignments since, cosily landing Group 3 at Geelong and not seen to best effect in Melbourne Cup. Respected back on these shores.

Winless since landing Hampton Court Stakes at Royal Ascot in 2022 but comes here having run creditably when third of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f, 7/1) 20 days ago. Not had many goes at this sort of trip but suspicion he'll need to pull out a little more if he's to take this.

Took his form up a notch to resume winning ways over C&D in March and finished third next 2 starts. However, failed to beat a rival at Royal Ascot/Glorious Goodwood and since left John & Thady Gosden for only 7,000 gns in October. Betting can guide.

Latest win at Goodwood (9f) in August. Creditable third of 9 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f, 11/1) 35 days ago, headway under pressure over 1f out and keeping on. Should be competitive again.

5-y-o who enhanced his good record here when bagging a fifth C&D handicap in November. Backed that up with a creditable third of 9 in handicap at Southwell 12 days ago and likely to be thereabouts again for all his present mark makes things tougher.

Course winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2023 but largely consistent, going close when edged out late on at Ascot (12f) in August. Absent since finishing down the field in Mallard Handicap (14.5f) at Doncaster in September but bounce back distinctly possible.
