6/4

Back to best when landing the Group 3 Renaissance Stakes for a second successive year at the Curragh in September. Not quite in same form since, including on AW last time, but sets a clear standard on the pick of his efforts.

Tinker Toy²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian| OR: 108| C

10/3

Smart gelding. Won listed event here in March. First run after 9 months off when 3½ lengths second of 4 to The Wizard of Eye in listed race (9/2) at Kempton (8f) 28 days ago. Interesting dropped to 6f for first time.

Form: 186-212

Exalted Angel²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 100| D

5/1

Smart gelding. Fifteen runs since last win in 2021 but has produced good efforts on AW on his last 2 outings, beaten only by a thriving rival when second of 9 in minor event at Newcastle (5f, 14/1) 24 days ago. Player back up in trip.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: L Morris| T: A W Carroll| OR: 100| D

50/1

Useful colt. Fourth of 7 in minor event at Chantilly (6f, good, 15/10). Off 96 days. First run for yard after leaving Francis-Henri Graffard. Wears tongue strap. Below form on last 2 outings in France and more will be required on UK debut.

Lord Of The Lodge¹⁰⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: S H James| T: K R Burke| OR: 100| D

10/1

Smart horse. Arrives after another fruitless year on turf but he's better on AW (won at Newcastle and Kempton last winter), so it would be no surprise to see him make more impact here.

Mums Tipple⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 99| C| D

9/2

Useful gelding. Course winner. 7/1, creditable 2½ lengths fifth of 9 to Summerghand in listed race at Lingfield (6f, AW) 44 days ago, unsuited by emphasis on speed. Not discounted.

Strong Power^p⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: K T O'Neill| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 95| CD

20/1

Useful gelding. 4 wins from 15 runs this year, including over C&D in October. 12/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable third of 7 in handicap at this course (5.1f) 8 days ago. More needed in this company.

Forecasts

Art Power (6/4), Tinker Toy (10/3), Mums Tipple (9/2), Exalted Angel (5/1), Lord Of The Lodge (10/1), Strong Power (20/1), Haziym (50/1)

ART POWER has been a bit underwhelming since making a successful defence of his Renaissance Stakes crown, but perhaps had excuses over 5f last time, and is given another chance to bounce back to form. Exalted Angel was ahead of the selection at Newcastle and rates as the main danger, whilst Lord of The Lodge is also respected back on AW.
