Needs extra but he's relatively lightly raced (nine races) and may well have more to offer

Another wind op; that seemed to turn him round last term but conceding 7lb may be tough

A top British stayer 2022 and 2023 but not late last year; ran poorly in Dubai last month

Mostly a front-runner; off since August; big shout if he's back on song for this
