(1)

Fayez^p⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: A Kirby| T: D O'Meara| OR: 88| CD

10/1

Winner of this last year off 2lb lower and four from 12 on an AW surface. Disappointed at Kempton latest but down in class and could be involved.

Form: 300810

(5)

Bobby K^p1²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Oisin Murphy| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 88| BF

3/1

Progressive type in just six starts to date and continued on an upward curve with a good second on turf debut. Shaped as though there should be more to come back over this trip and one to keep on the right side of.

Form: 913212

(4)

Medalla De Oro⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: J Mitchell| T: P W Chapple-Hyam| OR: 84| D

8/1

Tough ask in a valuable Irish handicap but disappointing he didn't fare better at Windsor latest. Probably weighted to his best and surface remains a query.

Form: 022196

(6)

Keswick^t²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Fran Berry| T: H Main| OR: 83| CD

9/4

Has moved rapidly in the right direction in winning two over his last three (including over this C&D). Did well to quicken off a slow pace latest and this extra half furlong only a plus. Leading contender.

Form: 076101

Derek Duval^h,t¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: P J McDonald| T: S C Williams| OR: 82| D

5/1

Well below form the last twice but soft ground rates a genuine excuse. Could easily bounce back on this surface but does look weighted up to his best.

Form: 142178

(7)

Mainsail Atlantic⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: David Probert| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 81

4/1

Seven-race maiden but generally consistent and hasn't done much wrong, however this rates stronger company and a bit more required to get off the mark.

Forecasts

Keswick (9/4), Bobby K (3/1), Mainsail Atlantic (4/1), Derek Duval (5/1), Breden (13/2), Medalla De Oro (8/1), Fayez (10/1)

Fayez won this last year and could be spot on for a bold bid down in grade. Two rivals though are taken to improve past these with Bobby K continuing to progress with each run and worth another try at this trip. However preference is for KESWICK who showed a good turn of foot in his latest win and he could still be ahead of the handicapper.
