6 yo Gelding

OR: 75

Form & Verdict
Inconsistent ex-Irish gelding who's never run on ground faster than good; didn't take to hurdles in one try last autumn but solid comeback off this mark three weeks ago and this does seem to be his time of year; no surprise to see him take this.

Has done well over 1m4f-1m6f on turf this term, winning three times from five starts; scored easily at Newmarket latest; better than ever and may improve further in his current form; respected assuming he's as effective back at 2m and returned to AW.

Form & Verdict
Took advantage of a drop in class and a career-low mark when making it 2-3 at Redcar on his recent comeback; tonight's extra distance and similarly long home straight won't hurt and he holds obvious claims off 4lb higher.

Form & Verdict
Serial winner in his younger days but been dry in almost three years; does have a comeback spring victory to his name but all other wins came in the second half of the year and he may need this at his age back from five months off.

J: Callum Hutchinson

T: Kevin Frost

Losing run stretches back to July 2023 but he ended 2025 in good form and his reappearance at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) 18 days ago was a positive one; stepping back up in distance is a positive but he could do with the ground drying out.

Form & Verdict
Hasn't run on turf in getting on for two years and has had plenty of chances off a sliding mark on the AW lately; said to have hung right when again a beaten favourite last time and that leaves him with a bit to prove.

Form & Verdict
Two wins last summer came at a lesser level, latterly over 2m1f off 3lb lower, and he wants a good test at this trip; doesn't boast the greatest reappearance record down the years and, like stablemate Saratoga Gold, may need this after seven months off.
