14/1
Course winner. 9/1, fifth of 6 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW), very slowly away. Off 17 months. Tough to assess at present.

10/11
Lightly-raced winner, including at Carlisle in May. Fourth of 5 in handicap (2/1) at Newmarket (14f, good) 41 days ago, needing stiffer test. Makes tapeta debut. Has to be taken seriously.

9/2
Fifteen runs since last win in 2020. Respectable seventh of 13 in handicap (40/1) at Newcastle (12.4f) 34 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Has work to do.

Career best when winning 8-runner handicap (5/1) at Chepstow (12f, good) 21 days ago, kept up to work. Makes tapeta debut. Dangerous to rule out.

Forecasts

Crossing The Bar (10/11), Midrarr (7/4), Winklevi (85/40), Arabian Warrior (3/1), Chipiron (9/2), Fire Fighting (14/1)

Verdict

A tricky staying handicap in which CROSSING THE BAR is taken to progress on just his sixth start. A winner at Carlisle in May and patiently treated by his top trainer, he should be able to improve to gain a second career victory today. Midrarr won well last time over C&D and this surface may bring out the best in her. Winklevi and Arabian Warrior are far from out of it too.
