J: Silvestre De Sousa

Fair form when 1m6f second for Henry de Bromhead in May; signed off for him with an encouraging hurdling fifth at Cork in July; has since changed hands for £7,000 and not out of things for his new stable.

Australia gelding out of a half-sister to smart dual-purpose performer Wicklow Brave; second off 65 over 1m6f at Gowran is his best Flat run; hurdling debut and looks a second-string for yard.

10st 2lb

J: Zoe Lewis

T: Thomas Faulkner

Nothing like the force of old but won comfortably on seasonal debut at Ffos Las (2m, good; first win since 2021) last month, despite refusing to settle in early stages; only second when odds-on to follow up in four-runner race at Doncaster (1m6f, good to firm; again raced too freely) soon afterwards but at least we know he's in good nick.

Exposed 8yo but he was returning from 264 days off when winning by 3.5l at Ffos Las nine days ago (2m, good), despite pulling hard; Zoe Lewis rides again with a 4lb penalty; if as good again he'll be tough to beat.

J: Taylor Fisher

T: John & Rhys Flint

Latest of his six wins was in clearcut style in this race last year (good to firm) off 1lb higher, making all; running creditably back on turf this season and looks set for a bold show, but all of today's rivals are either in good form too and/or far less exposed.

His six wins include two over C&D; no match for No More Bolero when second here (2m1f, good to firm) in April, although he is 5lb better off with that rival; fourth of 12 at Ascot (2m, good) four weeks ago and holds place claims.

Adaptable regarding ground and tactics; this looks less competitive than the Ffos Las 0-65 in which he finished second last time (hampered; two of these behind) and his claims are obvious.

Done a lot of his winning later in the year but offered more in the returning blinkers last time, back from a couple of months off; boasts a decent record when dipping below 0-70 company and won't mind any rain.

Only 1-16 on turf Flat and 5-25 on the AW, but latest return to form at Kempton (2m) bodes well for him giving Hope Rising something to think about.

Two course wins to his name from four starts; none of his six victories have come off a mark quite this high and he's lost his way since going in at Wolverhampton in March; needs a revival.

Took him a while to get off the mark, but has won three times over 1m4f on the AW this year including one here (under Jessica Llewellyn); back off his last winning mark and holds each-way claims if seeing out the new trip.

Not as good this year and has looked to have no excuses in some ordinary handicaps of late; only 1lb lower than when well held over 1m6f here 12 days ago and Free World looks his trainer's best chance.

Well treated on the form of his two 2m wins (good to firm and good) in 2025 and although he hasn't been himself this year, the signs were better when he was second of five on this course (2m2f) two weeks ago; has another well-treated rival to contend with today but he should be competitive.
