The proven class act but he's by no means clear of the pack on 2023 or 2024 evidence
9 (2)	Gregory b J:James Doyle T:John & Thady Gosden	J:James Doyle T:John & Thady Gosden	129	—	1135-3	111	124	112	34d	—	—	+10	21.3	13/2 13%
It's not hard to think that this lightly raced 4yo may be about to come into his own
8 (5)	Vauban ch J:Colin Keane T:W P Mullins	J:Colin Keane T:W P Mullins	130	t	/110-2	114	129	115	34d	—	—	+13	24.1	13/2 13%
Stamina to prove but last year's runaway 1m6f handicap win here needs a deal of respect
6 (3)	Trawlerman b J:William Buick T:John & Thady Gosden	J:William Buick T:John & Thady Gosden	130	h	0111-3	118	130	121	82d	—	—	+13	22.9	15/2 12%
Rallied for narrow win over Kyprios here (1m7f) last October; firmly in the mix
5 (9)	Sweet William b J:Robert Havlin T:John & Thady Gosden	J:Robert Havlin T:John & Thady Gosden	130	v	223-31	109	124	104	28d	—	—	+9	17	11/1 8%
Narrow win in a first-time visor latest; has a solid record but needs to find a bit extra
1 (10)	Coltrane b J:Oisin Murphy T:Andrew Balding	J:Oisin Murphy T:Andrew Balding	130	p	155-01	117	129	95	50d	—	—	+12	18.7	12/1 8%
Stalwart of the staying scene; good record at Ascot includes a 2nd in this race last year
10 (7)	Caius Chorister b J:Benoit De La Sayette T:David Menuisier	J:Benoit De La Sayette T:David Menuisier	127	—	231-22	109	127	107	28d	—	—	+12	16	20/1 5%
Little between her, Coltrane and Sweet William at level weights in 2024; now receives 3lb
4 (6)	Prydwen b J:Callum Shepherd T:George Scott	J:Callum Shepherd T:George Scott	130	—	1-5211	108	123	-	53d	—	—	+20	22	80/1 1%
Surged to new heights over 2m on AW on last three outings; aiming high in first Group race
2 (1)	Enemy b J:Richard Kingscote T:Ian Williams	J:Richard Kingscote T:Ian Williams	130	t	-21275	110	124	96	42d	—	—	+21	21.8	80/1 1%
Sustained creditable spell this winter before tailed off at Chester; seeks first Group win
NR (4)	Trueshan b J:Hollie Doyle T:Alan King	J:Hollie Doyle T:Alan King	130	—	114-43	114	127	103	28d	—	—	—	16	—
Top-class stayer but below par this term; ideally needs ground softer than good
