Comment: Solid 2024 campaign included fourth of 18 in this race (good to firm; fine on soft) off same mark as today; made a satisfactory reappearance this April and, likely to build on that, looks a strong each-way candidate.

Comment: 2023 was his heyday, including with his staying-on fourth in the 2m2f Cesarewitch on soft; no win since, closest finish when bang there at Newbury on latest start but that was under 7lb claimer in just a four-runner race; has 3lb claimer today and races from 4lb out of the handicap.

Comment: Placed twice in maiden hurdles in the mud; has won two hurdle races and twice on Flat at Killarney, most recently with a strong-staying display over 2m1f in 15-runner handicap (good) this May; ran creditably in mid-division at the Curragh (2m, good) latest and more of a stamina test today could suit him.

Comment: All three wins have been on soft going, the most recent in impressive style in the Chester Plate (2m2f, soft) in May 2023 off 1lb higher than today; absent 678 days before his encouraging fifth to Aggagio here in June, followed by a lesser show in last of three at Beverley but that was on good; very much one to note if he gets his ground.

Comment: Goodwood specialist with a particularly good record here on soft ground, such as when he scored with more authority than the bare result suggests under Ashley Lewis last time out, form which has been boosted; the only defeat from five soft-ground starts here came on his only crack at this race, when weakening into sixth in 2023, so his stamina is not proven beyond 2m, but he still has to be prominent in calculations.

Comment: Third win last term was in a slowly run 2m2f conditions stakes at Pontefract (soft) in October; that's not the most solid form (she was well beaten in a Group 2 and Listed race either side) and she needs to improve on it anyway, but that win did come in tidy style and she is lightly raced; also declared for the 2m4f handicap here on Friday.

Comment: Off for 306 days but has usually run well when fresh; of most interest on ground softer than good and his four wins have all been on soft or heavy; needs better than anything he did last term but seriously considered if he gets his ground.

Comment: First won on good to soft but better form on less testing ground since; final leg of last summer's handicap hat-trick was at Glorious Goodwood (1m6f) and he ran well in Listed event on return; not in the best of form in handicaps since, closest of those finishes on penultimate start when seventh of 20 over 2m4f at Royal Ascot in first-time cheekpieces (kept since); others have more pressing claims.

Comment: Three wins in France (2023); 0-10 in Britain but competitive again on last two starts when third to Aggagio at Goodwood (2m, soft) and a close, never-nearer third of 19 in the Northumberland Plate consolation race at Newcastle (2m, AW); this long-distance race now looks worth a go.

Comment: 1,500,000gns yearling but scored only once (1m4f; in cheekpieces) in five attempts for Charlie Appleby and was sold for 30,000gns in January; flopped in a 2m race on soft on final run for that yard and gave no immediate encouragement on yard debut in a competitive race here (2m, good) ten weeks ago, then refused to enter the stalls for a 1m4f race since; visor is added.

Runs: 9 Wins: 3 Percent: 33

Comment: Habitual slow starter; badly overdid it on penultimate outing (tailed off) but otherwise having a cracking season; that's despite another markedly slow start when upped to 1m6f at Haydock (good; not proven on softer) on latest outing, in which he got up by a neck in a slowly run race; raised another 3lb but it's the extra 6f which gives him far more to prove.

Comment: No win since 2022 but has a pretty solid record over 2m here, most recently when beaten just under 3l on penultimate start; second in the 2022 Cesarewitch over 2m2f but he came 11th in the last two renewals of this race; worse than good to soft ground looks against him.
