Highly tried since springing a surprise in a Listed race at Lingfield in February and he has struggled in better company since. It is likely the Lingfield form is unreliable and he has work to do from this mark.
Scored over C&D in November and later beat Zac Brown at Lingfield. Finished ahead of Royal Birth on AW Championships day and was not beaten far in Group Two company last time. Likes to come off a strong gallop and A Momentofmadness guarantees that.
Landed back to back successes over 6f during the winter under positive rides. Tried to make all over 5f next time before reverting to 6f at Windsor for latest start. There are some quick horses in this and A Momentofmadness will make it hard for him to take a lead.
Unbeaten in all three starts on the AW including when making all at Kempton on his reappearance. Went on to miss the break at Goodwood before helping to blaze the trail in the Epsom Dash when beaten a length into fourth. In form pilot takes the mount and he should appreciate this smaller field.
Winner of four races including the Ayr Silver Cup in 2014 and was one of the leading fancies for last year's Wokingham. Generally poor on AW tracks but his one good effort came here when chasing home stable companion Encore d'Or. Weighted to turn the tables if arriving in similar shape having had a spin at Nottingham earlier this month.
Best effort on these shores came when going down narrowly to Zac Brown over this C&D last month. Has suffered two defeats since in hot races but gets to race off a similar mark here. One of three for the yard in this and all have solid claims.
He and A Momentofmadness could spoil this for each other. No doubting he is well treated coming into this, but he may be better in lower grades where he is more likely to be able to dominate matters up front.
Five time C&D winner who is yet to score in this grade but has put in some courageous performances. Needs to come off a fast pace and that looks certain here.
Had come tumbling down the weights prior to scoring at Lingfield six weeks ago. Failed off this mark next time and has a bit to find with a few of these.
Forecasts
A Momentofmadness (15/8), Encore d'Or (11/4), Jordan Sport (9/2), Royal Birth (6/1), Exceed The Limit (11/1), Dynamo Walt (20/1), Huntsmans Close (25/1), Bosham (25/1), Brother Tiger (33/1)
There is sure to be a furious gallop for this which could see the front-runners Bosham, Jordan Sport and A Momentofmadness take each other on. The latter is unbeaten on AW surfaces and has the services of a rider who is in imperious form. That pace could set this up nicely for one that likes to come from the back of the pack and ENCORE d'Or fits the bill nicely. One of a trio for sprint maestro Robert Cowell, his latest effort in a Group Two and a solid run on AW Championships day show he has come on since his defeat of Zac Brown in March.
- Encore d'Or
- A Momentofmadness
- Jordan Sport
