Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: A Kirby| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 101

15/2

Unreliable sort. Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. Third in Wolverhampton AW handicap on British return in April and probably worth forgiving a lesser run in listed company since.

Lucander²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Rob Hornby| T: R M Beckett| OR: 100| C

15/8

Career best when winning 7-runner 1¼m handicap here (good to firm) 26 days ago. Likely to remain competitive after a 4 lb rise.

Form: 4022-71

Sir Rumi⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon| OR: 92

5/2

Good second in conditions event at Doncaster on reappearance and similar form back in handicap company since, nearest at finish (denied a run 2f out) when sixth of 18 in Duke of Edinburgh at Royal Ascot last week.

Form: 24-2446

Old Port²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: George Downing| T: P D Evans| OR: 87| D

12/1

Most progressive following switch to handicaps on AW, winning 4 times. Not quite in the same form when tackling turf for the first time at Chester last month, finshing 8 lengths fifth of 8.

Form: 111415

The Whipmaster²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-6| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: G & J Moore| OR: 83| C

11/4

In the form of his life with a hat-trick of wins in May. They all came at Class 5 level so this is a steep rise in grade but he can't be discounted in his current mood.

Form: 80-6111

Forecasts

Lucander (15/8), Sir Rumi (5/2), The Whipmaster (11/4), Liverpool Knight (7/2), Global Heat (15/2), Old Port (12/1), Belloccio (12/1)

LIVERPOOL KNIGHT had enough in hand over C&D last time to think that he might be able to cope with a 6 lb rise. Lucander took his course record to 2-2 when seeing off 6 rivals over 1¼m here last time and is feared most ahead of The Whipmaster.
