Form & Verdict
Had gelding/wind operations prior to justifying favouritism in good handicap at Newcastle (6f) last month on AW debut, staging a revival; could well build on that success and have a productive spell in this sphere; has Listed/Group form on turf and warrants respect.

J: Jack Nicholls

T: K R Burke

Close third in Listed company at Wolverhampton last month on his first attempt at 7f and he wasn't beaten for a lack of stamina; not at his best in a hot sprint handicap at Newcastle on Good Friday; no surprise to see him bounce back with a big run.

Did well in early 2025 on AW, winning a C&D handicap in good style and following up in Listed company at Lingfield; finished third in the corresponding race 12 months ago when rated 5lb higher; running himself back into form this winter, most recently a close third over 7f four weeks ago, and he looks primed to give Clifford Lee a winning return to the saddle.

Form & Verdict
Record of 6-22 on turf includes Listed/Group wins, the most recent under a textbook Jamie Spencer ride at the Curragh (6f) last May; had wind/gelding operations since last run; major contender, provided he takes to AW and reproduces best form.

The most recent of his six wins came in a Group 2 at the Curragh (6f, good) in May 2024; his first three runs this summer were good, including when a neck third of 27 in the Stewards' Cup (6f, good to firm), but he beat only one home in a heavy-ground Group 3 in France last month; runner-up on his only race on the AW and he could bounce back, albeit with this race not guaranteed to be run to suit.

Mitbaahy

9st 8lb

J: Jamie Spencer

T: Charles Hills

He hasn't had a great deal of racing since July 2024 but, two wind surgeries and a gelding operation later, he has shown he retains a good chunk of his former ability (Group 2 winner at best) this year, in a tongue-tie on last two starts; finished just behind Soldier's Tree when fifth in the Wokingham (6f, good to firm) but was in front of that rival in a Group 3 at Newbury two weeks ago; 3lb well in and has the ability to feature but his tendency to forfeit ground at the start isn't ideal in a race of this depth.

Form & Verdict
Record of 5-12 on AW features a success in this race two years ago (runner-up in 2024); did well to finish second (behind impressive winner) in similar event at Newcastle when last seen, having been slowly away and ending up with too much to do; big player.

Dual winner of the Group 3 Bengough over C&D at this meeting, including last year; it's generally been tough going for him in 2026 but he showed he's still capable off this mark on his day when fourth of 21 in the Portland at Doncaster (good) three weeks ago.

Won this race in 2023 (soft ground) off a 9lb higher mark; it's generally been tough going for him this year but he retains ability and it doesn't require a huge leap of faith to see him go close; he could do with being more alert at the stalls though.

Prolific AW winner whose offputting 0-21 strike-rate on turf doesn't do him anywhere near justice, as he's finished in the frame many times in Group sprints, including on this track; not far away in a Group 3 at Newbury recently and he could go well at a price now back at 6f.
