Byron Flyer^p⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-11| J: G Lee| T: Ian Williams| OR: 97

40/1

Versatile campaigner who landed back-to-back chase events last autumn. Ran well back on the Flat when fourth at Newmarket but not at that level since.

Form: 804-475

Indianapolis^p²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: P Mulrennan| T: J G Given| OR: 97

17/2

Dual winner last autumn and some good efforts in defeat this season. Might have found latest run at Haydock coming too soon after a big effort at York 2 weeks earlier.

Form: 504340

Hochfeld¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 94| D

12/1

Back to form with a bang when landing 1¾m Glorious Goodwood handicap. Mixed record since, however, and others look better treated.

Form: 041037

Stargazer²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Ray Dawson⁽⁵⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 90

50/1

Useful handicapper at his best (excellent record at Newcastle) but yet to beat a rival in 2 starts this season after 17 months off.

Form: 1/231-00

Goshen¹⁹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: H Crouch| T: G & J Moore| OR: 88| D

2/5

Useful and progressive on the Flat, winning all 3 starts in handicaps last season. Has since developed into a high-class hurdler so every chance he's still ahead of his mark back in this sphere.

Form: 980/111-

Forecasts

Goshen (2/5), On To Victory (5/1), Indianapolis (17/2), Hochfeld (12/1), Byron Flyer (40/1), Stargazer (50/1)

GOSHEN hasn't yet shown all he can on the Flat having won all 3 of his starts as a 3-y-o and is surely still some way ahead of his mark in this sphere given his exploits over hurdles (high-class form) subsequently. On To Victory will be suited by the return to this trip and can follow the selection home.
