Campaign Trail

12st 0lb

J: Ciaran Gethings

T: Kim Bailey & Mat Nicholls

Has improved with each run since returning from a break and stepping up in trip, with cheekpieces added to a tongue-tie; made all at Hereford (3m1f, good) last month and a 6lb rise looks manageable; leading contender.

J: Tom Bellamy

T: Kim Bailey & Mat Nicholls

He's returned from a break in good heart this year, finishing fourth at Market Rasen (2m7f, soft) before getting closer to the target when 3l third at Southwell (3m, good); entitled to respect.

Lion Of The Desert

11st 4lb

J: Joe Anderson

T: Grace Harris

Recorded back-to-back wins at Ffos Las (2m4f, good) in the spring and has continued in good form off higher marks since, most recently going down by a head over C&D last month; nudged up another 3lb but remains hard to ignore in current form.

J: Joe Anderson

T: Grace Harris

Ex-Irish; recorded back-to-back wins at Ffos Las (2m4f, good) recently; maintained his good level of form when third of five back there ten days ago; must come into this if he can replicate his form here.

Not in peak form (hurdles or Flat) from last August onwards but it's not forgotten that he was third in the Plate itself last year off 3lb higher.

J: Sean Bowen

T: James Owen

Dual hurdle winner who is 0-4 in handicaps; however, he should be on a fair mark given the level of his Flat ability and he ran quite well in a valuable Newmarket handicap at the Guineas meeting; player.

J: Benjamin Macey

Four-time hurdle winner but beaten about 14l in two handicaps after three months off, and he was pulled up in his race prior to those; very opposable; first-time cheekpieces.

Had struggled after returning from a long absence but last time was a bit better and Sean Bowen now takes over; could be interesting, for all that he's not shone around here in the past.
