7/4

Made huge strides since joining this yard winning eight times including valuable handicaps at up to 1m6f; course winner 1m4f on stable debut. Didn't quite see out last year as well as he started the year; ought to return to winning ways.

9/4

One of two that the yard run in this he's proven himself to be a smart performer over staying trips. Highly tried last year (placed in Group company) he looked in need of the race on his return last time; gives his yard a strong hand.

15/8

Irish raider who makes his AW/stable debut having shown some smart form when trained in Germany (best when winning a 1m4f Group 2. Failed to win last year in four runs (all in Group races); front-runner and very interesting contender.

14/1

Useful sort in handicaps but this looks a tougher test than usual especially as he steps up in trip significantly. Made little impression in a 1m4f handicap here last time (awkward at the start); visor returns, hard to fancy at the weights.

Forecasts

King's Advice (7/4), Oriental Eagle (15/8), Mildenberger (9/4), Original Choice (14/1)

Former winner of this event in 2018 with Watersmeet Mark Johnston fires a double salvo this time with two smart types in KING’S ADVICE and Mildenberger. The former who had a tremendous 2019 campaign is taken to get back on track here with the race likely to be run to suit. Oriental Eagle adds some extra spice to the contest having contested better races than this in the past and any market confidence should be noted on his stable debut although the yard are 0-9 with their UK Flat runners.
