T: David Brace

Splendid old-timer who has won both confined novice (2019) and grassroots (2025) incarnations of this race (each on good); always held by a match-fit and five-years younger rival on this month's seasonal return, albeit beaten just 2l; likely to be spot on for his title defence.

Stratford record of P3322 includes a John Corbet third to Law Of Gold in 2019; no doubting his appetite for the game remains judged on scores in a Howick open and (latest) the Dunraven Bowl at Chepstow, but he'd be the oldest winner of this race since 15-year-old Otter Way in 1983.

Form & Verdict
Off the mark over hurdles with clearcut success at Taunton (2m3f, good to soft) in March and probably bettered that performance when second to well-backed rival at Ludlow (2m5f, good to soft) last month; will be dangerous if the first-time blinkers have any positive effect.

Ran quite well in the Pertemps Final and then runner-up in a big field handicap here in April (2m4f, good to soft; in this new headgear combination), improving on his fifth place the previous season; also ran second to Fingal's Hill in this 12 months ago; has nothing in hand off his mark but every chance of being involved.

A dual hurdle winner for Milton Harris; well beaten on the Flat on first two starts for this stable in June and only made a satisfactory start to his chasing career when a well-held third at Plumpton (2m1f, good; second has won since) last month; has a fitness edge over some and not ruled out with that experience behind him, off 5lb lower.
