Comment: 0-9 but he's been knocking on the door at Kempton (1m, AW) and Nottingham (8.3f, good) in his last two runs; only 1lb higher than for his latest second and that form was boosted when the third won next time; major player.

Comment: Modest strike-rate on turf and hasn't won for 20 months; however, has kept very good company this season in the main and now returns to a calmer scenario; below par in this race last year but holds a leading chance on peak figures.

Comment: Four 2yo runs at up to 8.5f barely scratched the surface of his potential and he ran out the comfortable winner of two handicaps last month, 1m4f at Ripon and an extended 1m6f at Doncaster last week; 10lb higher this time but still 2lb well in and he has more to offer as a stayer.

Comment: 0-6 for the Gosdens but he made a winning stable debut at Leicester in April (1m4f, good to firm); not so good in an Ascot Class 3 the following month but he was back on the up when second over C&D three weeks ago; should give his running but perhaps vulnerable for win purposes.
