Five-time winner for Jonathan Portman and off the mark for present connections at Sandown in July. Went very close to following up over C&D 2 weeks ago and should go well again. Change of headgear.

Successful 4 times in 2019 but hasn't looked in anything like the same form so far this term, shaping as if amiss last 2 starts. Hard to make a case for.

Improved for fitting of visor/step up to 1¾m last summer, rattling off a hat-trick. Better for return when runner-up at Sandown and not disgraced in slowly-run event at Doncaster since.

Got off the mark for the season at Kempton in July and quickly back to that level when third at Sandown 5 weeks ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Not ruled out.

Winner of 4 of his last 5 starts, holding on gamely at Bath latest. Up another 4 lb but has to be respected in current form.

Latest win at Windsor in July. Creditable third of 6 back there (11.5f, good) next time but needs to shrug off a below-par display at Catterick. Back up in trip.

Ended time with Roger Varian with a win at Newmarket in May 2018. Offered little for Ian Williams last year but only just failed on second start for this yard over C&D 2 weeks ago.

Unfancied in the betting but took advantage of a drop in the weights when making all at Newmarket last month, battling on well. Remains on a fair mark so needs considering.

Shaped well again when third of 7 in handicap (9/2) at Leicester (11.8f, good to soft) 20 days ago, left with lot to do. Back up in trip. Well capable from this sort of mark if things drop right.

Low-mileage 4-y-o and mixed record for this yard, creditable third of 6 in handicap (7/2) at Haydock (11.8f, soft) 17 days ago. This trip should be within range.

Forecasts

Edinburgh Castle (11/4), Mancini (4/1), Calculation (9/2), Buriram (13/2), Singing The Blues (14/1), Jersey Wonder (14/1), Berrahri (14/1), Seinesational (16/1), Overhaugh Street (16/1), Shabeeb (18/1), Arabist (18/1), Eddystone Rock (20/1), Battle Of Marathon (80/1)

Verdict

EDINBURGH CASTLE needs things to drop right but he's well capable from this sort of mark and there's plenty of pace on here potentially. Shabeeb and Mancini both went very close over C&D 2 weeks ago and head the dangers in an open race.

  1. EDINBURGH CASTLE (IRE)
  2. SHABEEB (USA)
  3. MANCINI
