Form & Verdict
Both wins came in May 2024 over about 1m2f when trained by Jane Chapple-Hyam; closest since when beaten a neck at Nottingham (1m2f, good) last month in first-time blinkers (retained since); still well handicapped on his best form.

Record of 0-7 for current yard but he went down by only a neck in first-time blinkers at Nottingham (1m2f, good) most recently; still well treated on historical data; possibilities in the retained headgear.

Dual winner for Jane Chapple-Hyam but has been quite disappointing since the latest of those wins; held in two starts since undergoing wind surgery and blinkers are now tried instead of cheekpieces; down another 3lb.

J: Robert Havlin

T: Thomas Faulkner

It was a narrow verdict over 8.6f here four weeks ago and he went up only 3lb; with that run under his belt and being a triple C&D winner, he should feature again if able to overcome a wider than ideal draw.

Won three times over 9.4f here last year and ended that year with a keeping-on second over that trip; returns from two-month break on fairly tough mark, though, and this drop back to 8.6f is not ideal.

His five wins include two here, the second over this trip on fast ground in May 2024; versatile, though, for his latest win was over 1m1f at Goodwood last month (good to soft) and last run was when fourth over 7.5f here (soft); chance back up in trip.

Kept on well to justify favouritism over C&D (from 3lb lower) on penultimate start; beaten - fifth, hung left under pressure - in a stronger Class 4 at Nottingham subsequently; might have to settle for minor honours on AW return.

Gained his second success for this yard when winning at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) in March and followed up at Bath (1m, good to soft) next time; runner-up in both starts since (1m2f) but this consistent sort still needs to prove he stays this far.

Most consistent since joining this yard (314323112) and was only beaten half a length by Party Island in his hat-trick bid at Bath (1m2f, firm) last month; despite that latest effort a bit of rain wouldn't come amiss; stable also runs Brodie's Boy.

Post Rider, Phone Tag, Harbour Vision

Verdict

There may be more to come from the in-form Galaxy Wonder (second choice) but IMOLA warrants another chance after getting hampered at the start and at the finish in her hat-trick bid last time. Course specialist Serious Look can never be dismissed here, while Post Rider and Primo Lara are others to consider. [Andrew Bladen]
