Bounced back from two down-the-field runs to win valuable series final at Brighton (6f, good to firm) a week ago; still on workable mark under 5lb penalty and this return to 7f won't be a problem; likely contender.

On a good mark and this is weaker than the races he has contested on his last three starts; a well-run 6f shouldn't be a problem and he is a key player despite his wide stall.

Free-goer who won over 1m for Andrew Balding last summer and looked back in good nick when running big race in defeat over that trip here (good to firm) in May; refused to settle and came last of five (albeit not beaten that far) when upped to 1m2f at Lingfield in June, though, and remains risky over this trip.

Won just one of her 19 starts for Alice Haynes but it came at this track (5f, soft); her best effort in 2025 came on seasonal return (6f, good to firm) and although she ended the campaign quietly it was over 7f and 1m; sold for 1,200gns in December; intriguing runner on stable debut.

Career-best form when scoring over 1m here in July and subsequent third over C&D (also good to firm) in higher-grade company was also a good run; ground slower than good would be new but, otherwise, his claims are solid.

Verdict

Giant collected a good prize at Brighton last week and is respected under his penalty, while it’s reasonable to expect another good run from Campani. However, it might be worth chancing PICKERING CASTLE, who returned from a layoff with a satisfactory AW run last month, has slipped to a very tempting mark and won’t mind if the ground ends up slower than good.[Chris Wilson]
