6 yo Colt

OR: 72

Form & Verdict
His last win was in September 2023 but he was disqualified from first (jockey weighed in light) last month and has held his form with three runner-up efforts since; ran into a well-handicapped rival who made all at Lingfield (6f, Polytrack) last week and he's respected back on Tapeta.

9st 9lb

J: William Carver

T: Jamie Osborne

Two wins and two seconds to his name from nine runs over C&D, has always tended to do well around this time of year and has slid to a handy mark; odds-on to miss the break and will need things to fall right from stall 12 but there are positives.

J: William Carver

T: Jamie Osborne

Two wins (disqualified from one) and a close fourth to his name from four runs over C&D, his last success coming off 4lb higher in February; not as good or consistent now but unlucky not to go closer last time and the handicapper's given him every chance.

J: William Carver

T: Jamie Osborne

Won this race last year off a 3lb lower mark, when the strong pace set things up for him; got into the habit of blowing the start lately and will need the breaks from stall 13 but the return here will help (two wins and two seconds from eight runs over C&D).

Form & Verdict
7yo who was useful in his prime; powers have been on the wane for a while but he ended a long losing run when he has awarded a Lingfield handicap (Hierarchy was disqualified) last month; only 1lb higher here and has possibilities if this sets up for his closing style.

J: George Wood

Landed a hat-trick on the AW early last year, the final leg off 2lb lower; back in form lately, most recently in a race that didn't pan out his way, but needs a bit more back on turf from the lowest stall (likely to be dropped in again).

Awarded Lingfield handicap in early 2025 before going 2-2 over this C&D; just four starts since the latest of those wins last March and firmly back on track when edged out at Chelmsford one month ago; 2lb nudge can't be quibbled with and he needs considering.

4 yo Colt

Form & Verdict
Generally reliable 4yo who justified support when scoring on his drop back to 6f here three weeks ago; up 3lb but he still looks feasibly treated and should go well again from a good draw.

Justified favouritism at Lingfield (6f; soft) in June, that his highest ever winning mark (72); 12th of 26 (beaten 7l) in a race a number of these rivals contested at Goodwood recently; prospect of rain helpful, with Callum Rodriguez booked.

Form & Verdict
Veteran who rolled back the years with a come-from-behind success at Newcastle (5f) in December; held in three runs since but he caught the eye with his late headway at Newcastle (fourth of ten) on Friday; that was a creditable effort after a slow start and he's not ruled out back up in trip.

Gained his first turf win since July 2021 when making all at Carlisle nine days ago (6f, good to soft); a 6lb rise for that win looks stiff given he's thoroughly exposed but he's drawn 8 and should be able to grab the rail which has been a huge advantage at recent meetings; key player.

1-29, that win in a 5f Chelmsford novice (for Olly Murphy) back in February 2024; third at Nottingham (6f, good to firm) in July but his efforts either side of that don't instill confidence; notable Billy Loughnane is booked.
