Enjoyed an annus mirabilis in 2024, winning seven times with five of them coming at Hamilton; drew a blank in 2025 but this year's efforts have been quite encouraging, second at Newmarket in April and a close sixth in the Victoria Cup last month; the drop into Class 4 company will help but this veteran is unlikely to get the quick ground that suits him so well; one of three runners for Jim Goldie.

Tip Foster

Verdict

Twice-raced 3yo Tip Foster is the one with most potential, while Daizen created a good visual impression when dominating a lower-grade race last month. However, the suggestion is TERRITORIAL KNIGHT, who made an encouraging seasonal debut at Doncaster in March and may have found the ground too lively when below that form last time. Recent York runner-up Woven is second choice, while Manila Scouse also makes the shortlist.[Chris Wilson]
