40/1
C&D winner in 2018 when rated 98, won a couple of novice chases during the winter just gone. Not discounted but yet to win from a mark this high.

50/1
Winner around here in 2018 from 9lb lower rating, scored in Europe last year but was disappointing over C&D 12 months ago. Gets on well with Cieren Fallon but no secrets from the handicapper.

Consistent last year after joining this yard from Ballydoyle, ending with wins at Ascot (1m4, good) and Leicester (1m4f, heavy) during final three starts. 3lb higher on seasonal return and worth monitoring.

9/2
Landed valuable C&D handicap on good to firm in October 2018 and ran only once last season, shaping quite well in Listed Goodwood contest. Career-high rating but still has scope for better things.

1m2f good-ground winner on the July Course here last summer off a mark of 96, final effort of the season at Newbury was poor but capable of bouncing back and has gone well fresh in the past.

7/4
Dual winner at two, came up short in pattern races last year but made frame in a hot renewal of Group 3 Bahrain Trophy over 1m5f on the July Course. Could be interesting returning to handicap on first start for Andrew Balding with champion rider up.

11/2
Thrived last summer when fitted with visor, winning three on the spin over 1m5½f+. Soft ground at Haydock on final start likely didn't help and looks the sort to offer more for the Stoute team in the coming campaign.

6/1
Fourth in the Old Rowley Cup over C&D in October but disappointing final appearance on AW at Kempton; has gone well fresh in the past and yard are in flying form so wouldn't be a surprise to see him go well up on the pace.

Forecasts

Nate The Great (7/4), Deja (4/1), Rock Eagle (9/2), Rise Hall (5/1), Calculation (11/2), The Trader (6/1), Indianapolis (20/1), Byron Flyer (40/1), Amazing Red (50/1)

Verdict

He didn't win last year but NATE THE GREAT caught the eye at times in good company, including here in a warm renewal of the Bahrain Trophy in July. He's been gelded and switched to Andrew Balding's over the winter and may be on feasible mark returning to action with the yard in flying form this week. Calculation rates the sort to do well this year for Sir Michael Stoute and joins Deja and Rock Eagle on the shortlist in a race where it's tough to discount anything.
