20/1

Useful handicapper who has risen up the handicap on the back of four AW wins since early 2018. Hasn't been as effective at this track in recent times and has been poor in two runs back (tailed off in Northumberland Vase latest).

Form: 14-1400

Emenem⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Levi Williams⁽⁷⁾| T: S Dow| OR: 85| D

4/1

Ended a long losing run with back-to-back turf successes (dead-heat latest) and remains on a good mark based on historical form. Did well last time when not getting a clear run and shaped well on only previous visit here. Big chance.

Matchmaking¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Ryan Tate| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 82

9/4

Rattled off handicap four-timer in space of four weeks last year prior to a third at Lingfield a year ago. Looked in need of the run over two miles at Newmarket and likely to improve back in trip.

Form: 11113-4

Calculation^v³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Louis Steward| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 84

4/5

Regally bred and looks to be all about stamina (out of an Ascot Gold Cup winner). Stayed on strongly to win 1m6f handicaps at Doncaster and Haydock and looks to be rapidly improving. Big chance to land a hat-trick.

Form: 39-9411

Forecasts

Calculation (4/5), Matchmaking (9/4), Emenem (4/1), Exceeding Power (20/1)

Two rivals in a small field arrive bidding for hat-tricks. Emenem hadn't won since 2017 prior to those successes and remains well handicapped on his best form. CALCULATION though remains lightly-raced, is rapidly on the upgrade and is bred to be very smart with time. Matchmaking is a dangerous customer although perhaps he'll need another run before reaching race winning fitness.
