Sole 3-y-o HIGH STOCK could have more to offer now stepping up to 1½m for the first time and is preferred to fellow low-mileage sort Shader. West Wind Blows hasn't been seen for 2 years but will be a threat to all if retaining his old ability.

VerdictMade a very good start to his career in the spring, winning maiden at Newmarket and runner-up in Dee at Chester (1¼m). Given a break after disappointing run at Royal Ascot and firmly back on track when 2¼ lengths fourth of 11 in listed race at Goodwood (1¼m) 6 weeks ago. Probably more to come. - 5.

VerdictListed and dual Group 3 winner but hasn't been seen since finishing down the field in a Group 1 in Australia 2 years ago. Bold show assured if retaining his old ability but betting is perhaps the best guide after such a long time off. it

VerdictRunner-up 3 times at listed level over this trip last season, including this race. As good as ever when narrowly denied off a mark of 107 in 1¾m Musselburgh handicap on reappearance in April but ran poorly back from another break at Newmarket in September. A visor is reached for now.
