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.
|
Latest win at Chelmsford City in November. Eleventh of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 12/1) 29 days ago. Can probably get back on track.
|
Course winner. 15/2, bit below form seventh of 14 in handicap at this course (7f, AW), having hopeless task from position. Off 142 days. Has slipped back to last winning mark.
|
Creditable length fourth of 9 to Tyger Bay in handicap (15/8) at this C&D (AW) 24 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Respected.
|
4½ lengths seventh of 9 to Tyger Bay in handicap (16/1) at this C&D (AW) 24 days ago. Disappointing so far this year.
|
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.
|
Course winner. 2 wins from 6 runs this year. 4/1, creditable second of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 21 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Makes plenty of appeal.
|
3 wins from 15 runs this year. Career best when winning 9-runner handicap at this C&D (AW, 15/2) 24 days ago. Should go well again.
|
Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. Seventeenth of 19 in handicap at Newbury (7f, good, 11/1). Off 105 days. Others have achieved more.
|
9/2, career best when winning 6-runner handicap at this course (5f, AW) 19 days ago, having run of race. Could be vulnerable on the back of a rise.
|
C&D winner. Respectable second of 6 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 3/1) 17 days ago. Running well of late and should give another good account.

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)
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.
- Vespasian9/4
