4/1, did too much too soon when sixth of 7 in handicap at Newmarket (16f, good) 13 days ago. Can make his presence felt off a falling mark.

11/1

Won 3-runner handicap at Musselburgh (14f, good to firm, 11/10) 32 days ago. C&D scorer too so he needs considering.

6/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2019. 25/1, only tenth of 13 in handicap at Pontefract (18f, good) 17 days ago, so others are preferred.

Monticello²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: G Lee| T: N Mechie| OR: 58

28/1

Fared better than of late over this longer trip when fourth of 11 in handicap at Wetherby (16f, good, 125/1) 29 days ago. It's fifteen runs since his last win in 2016 however.

Form: 77/8-884

Moonlit Warrior²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Dylan Hogan| T: M L W Bell| OR: 69

4/5

2 wins from 5 runs this year, latest at Wetherby in April, and excellent second of 10 in handicap at Sandown (14f, good) 26 days ago. Up 2 lb but winner has gone in again and he holds leading claims on his first go over 2m.

Form: 0-81122

Forecasts

Moonlit Warrior (4/5), Campese (9/2), Diocletian (6/1), Oasis Prince (15/2), Mr Chua (15/2), Sociologist (10/1), Bollin Neil (11/1), Overhaugh Street (28/1), Monticello (28/1)

MOONLIT WARRIOR has been very much on the up since sent handicapping and is weighted to bag a third success of 2022 only 2 lb higher here than when an excellent Sandown second, with this step up to 2m a plus too. Musselburgh scorer Bollin Neil rates the chief threat, while Mr Chua wasn't seen to best effect at Newmarket and is also worth a second look off a falling mark.
