Tony Barrett Memorial Handicap

Runners: 8 runners

Type: Flat Turf

Surface: Turf

Weather: Mostly sunny

Form: 11-

Last run: 215 days

W: 9st 3lb

4 yo Colt

OR: 98

Form & Verdict
Well bred and looked a very smart prospect in making light work of two 1m4f novice events (Kempton/Newcastle), defying significant greenness on the first occasion; those wins have earned him a high mark but an Ascot Gold Cup entry bodes well; gelded since last seen.

J: Frankie Dettori

T: John & Thady Gosden

Won his first four starts, culminating spectacularly in the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot (2m4f, good to firm) which was decided in a final-furlong duel with Coltrane; has to give that rival weight today, however, and needs to bounce back from muted show in the Goodwood Cup (won by Quickthorn, on good to soft) 24 days ago; a return to better ground may help.

Form & Verdict
Has won on four of his five visits to this track and returns on the back of a career-best performance over hurdles in a warm handicap at Haydock; perhaps handicapped about right but has to be seriously considered.

9st 9lb

J: Jude Fernandes

T: Gary & Josh Moore

Well held over hurdles in last three runs but he's won plenty under both codes including three over C&D; still 3lb higher than for his win here last June but he needs watching in market back on the Flat; effective on good/good to firm but most of his wins have come on slow ground.

Won plenty under both codes, including over C&D, and has slid to an attractive mark; this is less competitive than the races he's been contesting of late and he's one of the likelier winners back up in trip.

Five-time hurdle winner who returned to form with clear second at Leicester (1m7f, heavy) in December; only seventh of 12 at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft) but didn't run badly and he's not discounted.

Form & Verdict
Dual 1m4f winner for Andre Fabre and was competitive in staying Group races for that yard; was competing at level weights when behind Global Heat in all three Dubai starts this year and these terms offer him a sporting chance of being more competitive; has been gelded and now hooded; dangerous to discount.

4 yo Gelding

OR: 89

Form & Verdict
Appreciated the step up to 1m6f, first-time cheekpieces and soft ground when narrowly taking a valuable handicap at Haydock last July; yet to find any further improvement but, despite the absence of headgear, it was a nice return he made when a staying-on fifth at Ascot (1m4f, soft; just behind Sir Rumi); if happy on the ground (won on good to firm earlier in career) then he should be involved.

Form & Verdict
Hasn't won in Britain since 2019 but was scoring for a second time at Meydan in a 1m6f Listed race there in January; not disgraced in Group races the last twice (1m6f/1m4f), but on British form this mark looks tough.

Grabbed the favoured stand rail when winning on soft ground at Epsom and a 4lb rise seemed to find him out at Ascot (again 1m4f on soft); may be vulnerable once more, though this faster surface won't faze him.

Form & Verdict
His French wins were over 12.5f, 1m2f and 9.5f, with an overall strike-rate of 3-7; 75,000euros buy in November; probably needs his best form yet to defy this mark on his British debut and he lacks a recent run.
