Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 101| D

6/4

Winless since 2019 but some good efforts for new yard this year, notably when ¾-length third of 6 to Brunch in listed race at Pontefract (8f, good, 16/1) 12 days ago. Can make presence felt.

Form: 372253

Lord Of The Lodge⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin⁽⁵⁾| T: K R Burke| OR: 108| D

85/40

Smart colt. Won handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) in April and backed that up when close second in Leopardstown Group 3. Shaped as if amiss next time but leading player on these terms if all is well.

Form: 322129

Symbolize²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: G Lee| T: A M Balding| OR: 99

15/8

Won on debut as a 2-y-o but yet to taste success since. Shaped as if in good form in top handicaps the last twice but bit more needed on these terms.

Form: 88-2070

LORD OF THE LODGE's run in the Criterion Stakes at Newmarket 6 weeks ago was too bad to be true and his previous close second in a Group 3 at Leopardstown just about sets the standard. Prince Eiji and Azano also bring smart form to the table in what looks a hot little race for a class 3.
