3 wins from 13 runs this year. 9/2, creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 25 days ago. Up in trip. Makes polytrack debut. Might find this tricky from a wide draw.

3 wins from 11 runs this year. Latest win at Southwell in August. Good ½-length third of 9 to Tyger Bay in handicap at this C&D (AW, 10/1) 24 days ago, running on. Merits consideration.

Latest win at Doncaster in July. 11/2, first run since leaving Bryan Smart when 3 lengths last of 6 to Harb in handicap at this course (5f, AW) 19 days ago. Should strip fitter for that.

Forecasts

Vespasian (9/4), Emperor Spirit (4/1), Tyger Bay (13/2), High Velocity (17/2), Silky Wilkie (11/1), Tadreeb (12/1), Alcazan (12/1), Harb (14/1), Secret Strength (16/1), Shallow Hal (18/1), Parisiac (28/1), Mohi (40/1)

Verdict

VESPASIAN is still lightly raced and did well under the circumstances when second at Wolverhampton last time, so he could take some pegging back if able to get across from stall 9. Recent C&D winner Tyger Bay is a danger along with High Velocity in an open race.
