(1)

Concierge⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 10-0| J: Gabriele Malune⁽⁵⁾| T: George Scott| OR: 85| D

6/1

Made it two from three with an easy win at Lingfield although would need to step up on that to win this. Struggled in a very tough race at York on fourth start.

Form: 3110

(2)

Magical Wish^b⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: R L Moore| T: R Hannon| OR: 84

15/8

Ran to a very similar level of form with two seconds either side of a win on his first three starts. Not disgraced at York (well ahead of Concierge) in a tough ask and can be competitive again back at this level.

Form: 2120

(4)

Tin Hat^p1¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 90| D

3/1

Hasn't won since his second start but has some smart and generally consistent form including a fifth in the Windsor Castle. Drop in trip may help and looks a major hope.

Form: 259733

(3)

Jack's Point^h1⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: James Doyle| T: W R Muir| OR: 79

15/8

Front runner who ran a very good second over a furlong further at Newmarket before failing to build on that over the same C&D. Likely drop to the minimum distance will help and looks a leading challenger.

Form: 3624

Forecasts

Jack's Point (15/8), Magical Wish (15/8), Tin Hat (3/1), Concierge (6/1)

Magical Wish drops back in grade while Jack's Point drops in trip and both factors should help the respective runners. However both like to lead and it is interesting that despite just the four runners all the field like to be on or close to the pace. That could set things up for TIN HAT, who although is open to less improvement than his rivals, is a very likeable performer and this represents a good opportunity to gain a second win on these terms.
