Form & Verdict

Didn't quite see out 1m2f on heavy ground at Newbury last month and faces similar conditions here, but he won at York (10.2f, soft) a fortnight ago and this in-form 7yo has to be respected in his follow-up bid.

Form & Verdict

Won in the spring on first two starts for this yard (1m2f, soft/good) and did very well to finish fourth of eight at Newbury (1m2f, heavy) last month having blown the start; looked reluctant in the early stages at Newbury, which sounds alarm bells, but he's run really well on both visits to Doncaster and is capable if in the right mood.

C&D winner who ran on consecutive days at Newbury last month (1m2f, soft/heavy), posting a near-miss and a win; went close on good to soft at Ascot in July; often slowly away so not without risk, but he did it in good style last time and a 6lb rise isn't harsh; the in-form Kaiya Fraser removes 3lb.

Form & Verdict

Kept on well to win maiden here (7f, soft) in April on his second start and he was having his first run since when soundly beaten sixth of eight in Listed race at Goodwood (1m2f, soft) last month; improvement is needed off his opening mark but he's unexposed and may well have more to offer.

Form & Verdict

10yo who is without a win since July 2021 but, having dropped down the weights, he went very close at Ayr (1m2f, good to soft) last month; respectable run in Ascot Group 3 since and he handles heavy ground; contender.

11yo now but he's had a few bright moments this season, including second of eight to Kihavah at Ayr (1m5f, good to firm) three weeks ago; his sixth of 20 in the John Smith's Cup over C&D in July shows he's still effective over shorter trips.

Form & Verdict

Returned from absence to win readily over C&D (soft) in April and was a clear second of five at Windsor (11.4f, soft) in May when last seen, behind a well-treated winner; 4lb out of the handicap today but he should be right at home in the conditions which may well be a more important factor.

Fairly useful Flat-racer; mixed record in his eight runs over hurdles but he won a Newbury handicap (2m, heavy) in March and was runner-up at Bangor (2m, soft) last time; a 2lb rise for that clear second looks fair and he still has potential in this sphere; shortlisted.

7yo who is without a win since September 2019 but has run some good races this season and this is less competitive than the Cambridgeshire last time (when a fair 12th); effective on soft ground and not discounted.

Ended long losing sequence at Ayr (1m2f, good) last Monday and under a 4lb penalty he's lower in the weights than when fourth in this in 2022 (soft) and when third last year (good to soft); each-way contender.
