Down in grade but regressive form since leaving Roger Varian and hard to recommend.

Hold up performer who needs everything to fall right but is generally consistent. Has won fresh and ran second on seasonal debut last year, Likely to be competitive at ideal trip.

Remains a touch high in the weights but ran a good third at HQ and better suited by this furlong less.

C&D winner who did well to just see it out over a mile last time. This is tougher but suited by the return to this distance.

9/2
Just one win since 2016 and ideally suited by a mile but generally consistent around this sort of mark. Stiff task last time and will appreciate return to AW but stable could be in better form.

Just 1lb higher than last winning mark and suited by drop back to this distance. Handled Kempton on sole AW start but this is a tough race for his first start here.

Well fancied when returning from a lengthy layoff for a front running third on handicap debut. Open to progress and should improve for the run. Track will suit his style but this is tougher.

11/1
Consistent performer who was noted running on in good sprint here last time. Worth a return to this trip and should be competitive once again.

Forecasts

Poet's Society (11/4), Fast Landing (11/4), Qaffaal (9/2), Qeyaadah (5/1), Unforgiving Minute (6/1), Dark Side Dream (11/1), Horsted Keynes (16/1), Certificate (66/1)

Verdict

Fast Landing will undoubtedly be popular for his powerful connections after a promising comeback but he may be vulnerable again to some finishers. Horsted Keynes is very reliable and should be in the mix on his seasonal reappearance. Likewise DARK SIDE DREAM returns to an ideal trip and under more aggressive tactics would look sure to go close in an open looking contest.
  1. Dark Side Dream
  2. Horsted Keynes
  3. Fast Landing
