Back in the groove six days ago to win over 1m4f at Epsom, where he has a good record

Won twice (once here) over 1m2f last term; solid efforts on his last three starts

Narrow 1m3f win at Newbury under Olivia Tubb in June; fair third at Brighton latest

Back to 1m2f (latest start was one of his 1m4f races) and not totally dismissed
6 (13)	Olympicus Bay J:Frederick Larson T:Michael Appleby	J:Frederick Larson T:Michael Appleby	136	h	849-75	66	76	65	26d	—	—	-2	6.4	2.25/1	10 10%
1m2f is plausible; settling remains an issue and a good pace up front may well be required
12 (11)	Lawn Ranger Bay J:Georgia Dobie T:Michael Attwater	J:Georgia Dobie T:Michael Attwater	133	—	014536	63	76	64	13d	—	—	+2	9.3	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Front-runner; enhanced his good Windsor record; well below form at Sandown (latest 2021)

Below form latest start; big shout if reverting to peak 2023 form, which includes two wins
2 (4)	Glen Again Bay J:Charlie Todd T:Ian Williams	J:Charlie Todd T:Ian Williams	139	tp	06/056	69	71	31	21d	—	—	+1	6.4	3.75/1	16 6%
Only four runs for current stable; gave his first positive signal this term last time

Creditable 4th of 14 on handicap debut (1m2f); last of ten at Newmarket two months later
10 (12)	Sarkha Bay J:Benoit De La Sayette T:Ed Dunlop	J:Benoit De La Sayette T:Ed Dunlop	134	p	-67165	64	76	7	37d	—	—	+3	10.6	2.50/1	11 9%
Chief disincentive is that he showed so little at Yarmouth (good) in his only turf race
8 (2)	Sea Of Charm Bay J:Callum Hutchinson T:Georgina Nicholls	J:Callum Hutchinson T:Georgina Nicholls	135	p	320-24	65	79	39	23d	—	—	+1	5	4.25/1	18 6%
Two minor honours for new trainer; cheekpieces (tried once in 2021, finished last) return
1 (5)	The Conqueror Bay J:Christian Howarth(3) T:Jim Boyle	J:Christian Howarth(3) T:Jim Boyle	140	—	5-4775	70	72	51	21d	—	—	+2	6.1	5.25/1	22 5%
Ex-German; 9lb lower than on British debut four starts ago, so needs a second look
9 (6)	Whitcombe Rockstar Bay J:Mia Nicholls(7) T:Keiran Burke	J:Mia Nicholls(7) T:Keiran Burke	134	t	4-0750	64	73	47	13d	—	—	+1	4.4	8.00/1	33 3%
Needs to bounce back from a heavy defeat at Newbury (1m2f, good) in his second handicap
15 (9)	Hes Our Star Bay J:Molly Gunn(7) T:Tony Carroll	J:Molly Gunn(7) T:Tony Carroll	123	—	425270	53	74	43	110d	—	—	+3	4.7	16.25/1	66 2%
