7/2

Back to winning ways on his return at Doncaster, and not disgraced when sixth of 22 to Sir Busker in Silver Royal Hunt Cup at Ascot last time. High enough in weights on balance, but seems sure to give his running, and that counts for plenty.

8/1

Looked a potential star as a 2-y-o for Roger Charlton, but has become rather disappointing (beaten favourite on every start in 2019). Yard can revive one, but probably best watched on return from a break with a tongue tie fitted for the first time.

Revich³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: A Kirby| T: R Spencer| OR: 87| D

13/2

Consistent last season but only managed lone success at Epsom (7f, good) in July for his troubles. Missing usual spark when 9¾L sixth of 8 to Blown By Wind here last month, but likely to be sharper after that return.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: S De Sousa| T: A M Balding| OR: 87WS

10/1

Still 5lb higher than when winning a 1m handicap at Sandown 14 months ago, and since then he's finished last on all three starts. Hopes rest on recent wind surgery being successful, but he's also been gelded into the bargain.

Typhoon Ten¹⁵⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 87| D

20/1

Both wins on AW, but is just as effective on turf. Below his best twice since finishing third at Lingfield in January, but given a break since, and has gone well fresh in the past.

Breanski¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: J Garritty| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 85| D

11/2

Five-time turf winner who looked better than ever when ½L third of 12 to Northernpowerhouse at Redcar (7f, good) last time. Still on a fair mark, and handles softer ground, so respected.

Form: 0462-73

Candelisa^t²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: Thomas Greatrex⁽³⁾| T: D Loughnane| OR: 83| BF| D

20/1

Twice placed on AW since winning over 1m at Kempton in January. Does look in the grip of the handicapper, though, and only sixth of 10 to Hayadh on return to turf at Beverley last time.

Form: 3-12526

Glenn Coco^t¹²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Oisin Murphy| T: S C Williams| OR: 81| D

14/1

Was in cracking form in 2019, winning four handicaps, the last of them over 7f here in May. Has belatedly slipped below that winning mark, and claims if wound up after a break.

Form: 74-2545

Masked Identity^p¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Josephine Gordon| T: S L Keightley| OR: 81| BF| D

9/1

Best at 1m, and both wins on AW, but runner-up off 1lb lower over 7f at Yarmouth in August. Back to best when neck second of 11 to Crystal Casque at Kempton last time, and not easily ruled out of calculations.

Form: 5280-52

Lucky Louie^p¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 8-11| J: J Mitchell| T: R A Teal| OR: 78| D

7/1

As good as ever when head second of 9 to Marshal Dan at Chepstow last time, closing all the way to the line after being slowly away. Can't afford to blow the start here, but handicapped to have a big say.

Form: 3160-42

Human Nature^t²³

Age: 7| Weight: 8-5| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: S C Williams| OR: 72| BF| D

18/1

Better on AW than turf, but mark is fair in this sphere, and has been in good form on Polytrack on recent starts. One to consider.

Form: 8-84212

Hammer Gun^v²⁵¹

Age: 7| Weight: 8-5| J: J Fanning| T: D Shaw| OR: 72| D

66/1

Best produced late and it all fell right when he won at Pontefract on his penultimate turf start. Well held here when last seen in November, and faces a very stiff task on his belated return to action.

Forecasts

Presidential (7/2), Breanski (11/2), Revich (13/2), Lucky Louie (7/1), Fighting Temeraire (7/1), Herculean (8/1), Masked Identity (9/1), Fox Leicester (10/1), De Vegas Kid (10/1), Glenn Coco (14/1), Zhui Feng (14/1), Human Nature (18/1), Typhoon Ten (20/1), Candelisa (20/1), Charles Molson (20/1), La Maquina (25/1), Boy In The Bar (25/1), Mohareb (33/1), Hammer Gun (66/1)

BREANSKI comes here after running to his best at Redcar, and he has plenty of form in similar conditions which make him look a fair bet in this contest. Presidential is another solid proposition at this level, and should give his running, while Fighting Temeraire is in a rich vein of form, and shouldn't be underestimated on his return to turf, a comment which applies to Human Nature as well.
