Astro King

9st 5lb

J: Ebrahim Nader

T: Daniel & Claire Kubler

Has been smart in his time and is now 10lb lower than when winning the 2023 Cambridgeshire; record on the AW as a 3yo read 121, but a leap of faith is required based on his two efforts since returning from a long absence (and wind surgery).

Astro King

9st 12lb

J: Alec Voikhansky

T: Daniel & Claire Kubler

Top handicap form when nosed out in the John Smith's Cup over C&D and again when scoring at the Ebor meeting and picking up the Cambridgeshire in 2023; 0-7 since and he beat one home on his return from a hefty absence/wind surgery at Newmarket in May; should build on that comeback but may need another run or two before becoming of interest.

J: Toby Moore

T: Kevin Philippart De Foy

Could be unexposed at 1m4f and ran creditably on first attempt at trip when third of eight at Ascot (good to firm) two weeks ago; goes well for positive tactics and Toby Moore's 7lb claim is a bonus.

9st 10lb

J: David Egan

T: Kevin Philippart De Foy

3yo maiden winner; running on well into a close third of 12 at Newmarket (1m1f, good to firm) this May was his first significant impact in handicaps and perhaps the ground was too soft at Epsom (1m2f) on Oaks day five weeks ago; this new trip gives him a bit more to prove, though.

J: William Buick

Half-brother to Grade/Group 1 winner Yibir (RPR 123) and the high-class Wild Illusion (116); weak 4-1 chance at Southwell but stayed on best and the runner-up then beat Military Cross next time; that was a nice start.

J: Daniel Tudhope

T: Edward Bethell

Comfortably prevailed in Doncaster handicap (1m2f, good to firm) on seasonal debut, following up his autumn AW success (1m, AW) and taking record to 2-3; the only unexposed contender in this field and commands respect with further improvement on the cards.

Both starts over 1m on Tapeta last autumn, improving from his debut to land a novice that's worked out well enough; longer trip should suit on pedigree now handicapping and the market will give some clues after eight months off.

Often ridden by claimer Alexandra Egan, including when he won a four-runner C&D race (good to firm) last July off the same mark as today; creditable second on last two outings (C&D latest) suggest he will be bang there.
