    Form: 50-602
    OR: 68
    W: 9st 9lb
    Age: 4 yo Filly
    Dual 1m2f AW winner in 2024; upped from 1m4f to 2m under Alicia Perkins on Kempton AW 16 days ago and gave a positive response, as she travelled smoothly in rear but met some traffic before running on into second of eight; has some turf form (not this year) and could have more to offer as a stayer.

    W: 9st 9lb
    Age: 4 yo Gelding
    Ex-French 4yo who is 1-7 for current connections, easily best of those outings all from off the pace over 2m on Kempton AW; five-day break was blamed when he tailed off on turf (2m, good to firm) on latest outing, but that still leaves him with something to prove.

    Form: 775424

    W: 9st 7lb
    Age: 7 yo Gelding
    Four-time hurdles winner whose first Flat success came on Southwell AW (1m6f) in January; has kept his form pretty well, including over 2m, and is considered seriously in this small field despite having had just two races (2025) on Flat turf.

    W: 9st 5lb
    Age: 4 yo Colt
    Ran away with a Southwell handicap (1m6f, AW) last October; second twice there (2m/1m6f) this April and he wasn't beaten far when making the running on good to firm at Yarmouth (1m6f) eight days ago, albeit coming last in a three-runner race; chance if he takes to the first-time headgear.

    T: John Berry

    Form: 123P-4 CD
    OR: 55
    W: 8st 10lb
    Age: 10 yo Gelding
    10yo whose last three wins came in this race (2022, 2023 and 2025) and it's now named after him; did it in good style from the back last year (good to firm) and is now 3lb higher; made a satisfactory return to action at Yarmouth last month and the chief concern today is probably whether there will be enough pace in the race for his stamina to kick in sufficiently.

    Betting Forecast

    3/1 Vilaine Verlaine, 6/1 Now The Eagle, 3/1 Prince Quattro, 4/1 Betelgeuse, 11/4 Dereham

    Verdict

    There appear to be tactical complications with the lack of a regular front-runner in this small field, but John Berry’s veteran DEREHAM nonetheless earns the vote thanks to his three wins in this race in the last four years, which sees this renewal named after him. Vilaine Verlaine’s recent eye-catching first attempt at a staying trip marks her down as a danger, perhaps the chief one, ahead of Betelgeuse and Prince Quattro.[Richard Austen]
