16/1, last of 16 in handicap at Meydan (6f, good). Off 106 days and cheekpieces back on. Would be in with a shout if he were to put his best foot forward.

5/1, bit below form ninth of 15 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, good) 14 days ago, not knocked about. Others make more appeal.

5/2, creditable third of 8 in handicap at Ayr (6f, good to firm) 11 days ago, not clear run. Makes plenty of appeal off the same mark back up in trip here.

7/2
Bit below form eighth of 20 in handicap at York (7f, good to firm, 11/2) 15 days ago, nearest finish. Entitled to come on for that run and possibilities off this 2 lb lower mark.

80/1
40/1, last of 7 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, heavy) 23 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time and he's likely to find a few too good once again.

15/2
C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2021. Seventeenth of 20 in handicap at York (7f, good to firm, 12/1) 15 days ago. Would be a danger to all if on-song.

40/1
125/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, eleventh of 20 in handicap at York (7f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Probably best to look elsewhere.

Forecasts

Manigordo (3/1), Abduction (7/2), No Nay Nicki (7/2), Liamarty Dreams (11/2), Gioia Cieca (15/2), Home City (17/2), Billyb (14/1), Archduke Ferdinand (40/1), Kalganov (80/1)

Verdict

The return to this trip promises to suit ABDUCTION, who was denied a clear run at a crucial stage when a close-up third at Ayr recently. Jim Goldie's charge was beaten twice by Manigordo over C&D last season but he is clearly in great form and is taken to emerge on top this time. That said, Manigordo is greatly respected given his record here and is also arriving on the back of a near-miss at Ayr. No Nay Nicki should be sharper following her reappearance spin at York and she also has claims.

  1. Abduction7/2
