Three-time winner, latest at Chester (2m) last summer. Not seen to best effect having been backed in the Chester Cup there on return and should fare much better here.

Improving son of Galileo who has returned with excellent seconds in handicaps at Kempton (2m) and Chester (Chester Cup consolation), making up tons of ground behind Green Book last time. More to come.

Won 2 big handicaps in 2018 but missed 2019 and generally struggled last year (sold from David Elsworth £29,000 in December). Stamina to prove starting out for new connections. Hood goes on.

Added Glorious Goodwood marathon handicap to his tally in 2020 and another good run back there in September. Record suggests he'll come on for this return.

Took advantage of his easiest task for a long time to get his head back in front in 3-runner 2m Ripon handicap last month. Could go well again.

Back to winning ways down in grade in 2m Ascot handicap earlier this month. Remains unexposed over this sort of trip and can go well again.

Off the mark when landing gamble impressively in Chester Cup consolation (18.6f) a fortnight ago, comfortably making all. Up 10 lb but similar tactics could serve him well here. Respected.

Dual winner over shorter last year, including in the mud here. Should have come on for last month's return and ran well on only other try over 2m.

Three-time winner around 2m last year and returned to form when backed and fourth at York last week, not knocked about when beaten. Front runner who should be seen to good effect around here.

Forecasts

Future Investment (7/2), Green Book (7/2), Postileo (11/2), Frankenstella (7/1), Hiroshima (9/1), Rajinsky (10/1), Just Hubert (10/1), Vindolanda (10/1), Dash Of Spice (25/1), Speedo Boy (40/1)

Verdict

GREEN BOOK landed a gamble from the front in taking style at Chester a fortnight ago and can confirm that form with the promising Postileo. Plenty of the others can be considered, with Vindolanda put up for each-way purposes at a big price.

  1. GREEN BOOK (FR)
  2. POSTILEO (IRE)
