Two Tempting

9st 7lb

J: Rob Hornby

Very consistent on AW since last turf appearance; respectable seventh, despite enduring a nightmare passage, in this contest two years ago but is 5lb higher and lacks recent match practice in this compensation attempt; absent since March.

He was making his seasonal debut when only fifth in this race 12 months ago but he's been kept on the go this winter and has been better than ever; suspicion others will prove better handicapped here though.

J: Jason Watson

T: Andrew Balding

Useful colt whose 2yo form featured a success in AW Group 3 and fourth in the Middle Park, both over 6f; proved resurgent in 7f Listed contest at Chester most recently, making the frame; however, has something to find on ratings upped further in distance.

J: Jason Watson

T: Andrew Balding

Won 6f Group 3 on AW last September and fourth in Group 1 Middle Park at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) three weeks later; that rounded off his 2yo campaign but he's been regressive in three runs this season and was down the field in a York handicap last time; has some questions to answer and he's untried at this trip.

Without a win since his second start as a 2yo, but several good efforts since as when beaten a length into third of 24 in the Newbury Spring Cup (1m, good ) last month; Ryan Moore keeps the ride and rain shouldn't be an issue, but the draw could have been kinder.

On a 14-race losing sequence but he was runner-up three times last term, including when beaten a head at Glorious Goodwood (1m1f, good); went off third favourite in a big field at the Curragh on reappearance but didn't give his running; on a retrieval mission with Ryan Moore booked.

Tends to reserve his best for Meydan and he hasn't landed a telling blow in valuable handicaps at Royal Ascot and Newmarket on his last two starts; well drawn and he drops in grade, though.

Impressive on 2yo debut in 2024 (6f, good) then absent until last month, when going very close at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) before easy win at 1-50 at Lingfield (6f, good to firm); could be on a good mark for this first handicap.

J: Billy Loughnane

T: George Boughey

Made a winning 2yo debut at Newmarket (6f, good) but he missed last year and was gelded in the autumn; shade unlucky not to retain his unbeaten record when beaten a nose at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) on his comeback a fortnight ago; this is a fairly quick second run back from a big absence but he's scared most of them off and is impossible to oppose.

Bit of a legend down the years and his six wins here include two at Glorious Goodwood, namely a heavy-ground edition of this in 2023 and when bagging valuable Golden Mile (soft) last term; now 6lb lower but there's a reason for that and he could do with a downpour, which isn't forecast; has a good stall and Oisin Murphy retakes the reins, however, while that course record means he can never be overlooked.
