Won this race last year and Group 3 next time; solid shows in five of six races this term

Excels on soft/heavy going and hit new heights on latest start; in serious contention

The Ebor three weeks ago did not go to plan but he has a fair bit to find on form anyway

Acts on good to soft but unraced on worse; smart on his day; first visit here
5 (7)	Iron Lion Grey J:Ben Robinson T:David O'Meara	J:Ben Robinson T:David O'Meara	131	—	161510	95	111	72	21d	—	—	+18	22.6	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Inconsistent; it would be like him to resume progress but a leap forward is required
3 (4)	Cristal Clere Bay J:Sean D Bowen T:John J Nallen	J:Sean D Bowen T:John J Nallen	131	—	446224	100	110	70	—	—	—	+16	19.5	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Second in 1m4f Listed race three starts back but he needs a fair bit extra to win this
NR (5)	Enemy Bay J:Jim Crowley T:Ian Williams	J:Jim Crowley T:Ian Williams	131	t	275866	106	122	95	14d	—	—	—	14	—	—
Sixth of seven in Listed race here last time, so the upturn in form is far from convincing

4 turf wins (one on heavy) last 13 months but his form chance relies on AW 2nd last time
