Curran

9st 7lb

J: Oliver Searle

T: Rod Millman

Has a patchy profile but he hasn't been with current yard for long and he won at Bath (1m6f, good) last month; only sixth of seven here (2m) last time but he ran well for a long way and was beaten less than 4l; still looks on a workable mark and he could make a bold bid back in trip.

J: Tom Eaves

T: Rod Millman

Ex-Charlie Johnston for whom he finished third in this last year (2lb higher); joined Rod Millman for 6,000gns; tailed off on yard debut but always in the van when battling on best at Bath (1m6f, good); only 2lb higher but he's up into a Class 4 now.

9st 0lb

J: Taryn Langley

T: Jeremy Scott

Perhaps better over further and when going close over C&D a month ago he was edged out by a 66-1 chance who wasn't in much form before that race and has disappointed since; may need a tad more here, though Taryn Langley takes off a handy 5lb.

9st 8lb

J: Kieran O’Neill

T: Jeremy Scott

His two wins last year include one here over 1m6f in October and he was runner-up off 2lb higher than today's mark at Kempton (2m, AW) next time; respectable fifth at Goodwood 13 days ago but he isn't certain to be suited by this drop back in trip.

J: Bradley Harris

A three-time chase winner (at up to 3m2f) last season; pulled up in 2m7f handicap chase here in May, so has it to prove on his first run in this sphere since April 2024.

J: Charlie Tucker

T: Syd Hosie

16-race maiden (0-11 on the Flat) who failed to threaten over hurdles last time; however, she ran okay in that code two starts ago and was runner-up on the Flat in February (1m6f, AW); not ruled out each-way in a first-time visor (replacing cheekpieces).

Non-runners

Mountbatten

Verdict

The withdrawal of unexposed 3yo Mountbatten weakens this race and leaves the door wider open for solid-looking FAIR DINKUM (nap) to register a second C&D success. Curran looks the new biggest danger.[Steve Boow]
