16/1

11/2, tenth of 11 in handicap at Ascot (5f, good to firm) 19 days ago. That was disappointing given the promise of his Beverley run.

Form: 18-3050

Ghathanfar¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: T Eaves| T: Miss Tracy Waggott| OR: 77| D

5/1

5/2, won 7-runner handicap at Wetherby (5.5f, good) 13 days ago by ¾ length from King of Tonga. Up 6 lb in a deeper handicap.

Redzone^p¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Gianluca Sanna⁽⁷⁾| T: B Smart| OR: 75| D

10/1

Career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Newcastle (6f, 13/2) 17 days ago, plenty in hand. New mark leaves no margin for error back on turf but he's thriving.

Form: 12511-1

Captain Vallo^h¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Rowan Scott| T: Phillip Makin| OR: 75| D

17/2

25/1

Last of 9 in handicap (16/1) at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) 22 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal.

(16)

Dream Together²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: J Garritty| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 71| D

3/1

Won 15-runner handicap (10/3) at Haydock (6f, good to firm) 23 days ago by neck from Macho Pride. 2 lb rise won't prevent another very bold bid.

Form: 8937-41

Forecasts

Dream Together (3/1), Ghathanfar (5/1), King Of Tonga (11/2), After John (6/1), Patsy Fagan (7/1), Macho Pride (8/1), Captain Vallo (17/2), Redzone (10/1), Blazing Hot (10/1), Merry Secret (10/1), Devil's Angel (16/1), Nearly A Gonna (20/1), Kilconquhar (25/1), Fox Hill (25/1), Blackheath (25/1), Aikido (50/1), Custodian (100/1)

PATSY FAGAN has built up a very good record on the AW and, given there's no reason why he won't be as effective on turf, further success may well beckon. Dream Together and Redzone also arrive on the up and are a couple of dangers.
