9/1
Landed this contest 12 months ago and in better form than his recent form figures suggest when ridden more conservatively than usual. Not ruled out here by any means.

Scored over 20f here in July and not disgraced off 4 b higher when eighth of 17 in handicap (12/1) at York (16.2f) 20 days ago, left poorly placed. Firmly in the mix.

In good form since the restart, third of 15 to Just Hubert in 20f handicap here 41 days ago, faring best of those held up. Must enter calculations despite 2 lb rise.

Has proved unreliable but arrives at the top of his game and on a hat-trick after recent wins at Sandown and here (14f, soft). Raised another 4 lb but holds solid claims.

7/2
Low-mileage stayer who continues on the up and he made 2-3 since resumption with success in 4-runner handicap at Newmarket (14f). Up 4 lb but well worth considering.

10/1
Course winner but it's now eighteen runs since that win in 2018. Creditable sixth of 12 to Seinesational in handicap at Sandown (14f) 16 days ago but others are more persuasive.

13/8
Improving colt who returned with success here and (cheekpieces on) ran out wide-margin winner at Catterick (13.9f, heavy) 14 days ago. Hiked 9 lb now but not dismissed lightly.

Forecasts

Stag Horn (13/8), Nuits St Georges (7/2), Just Hubert (7/1), Smart Champion (15/2), Seinesational (17/2), Themaxwecan (9/1), Platitude (10/1)

Verdict

None of these can be ruled out but it could be worth siding with THEMAXWECAN who has shaped better than his recent form figures suggest and took this event 12 months ago. Nuits St Georges is a likeable stayer who arrives on the back of a cosy Newmarket success so is feared most, although sole 3-y-o Stag Horn is another who is sure to make his presence felt.

  1. THEMAXWECAN (IRE)
  2. NUITS ST GEORGES (IRE)
