Savvy Knight²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: James Doyle| T: S Woods| OR: 92| CD

13/8

17/2, didn't need to improve to win 14-runner handicap at this C&D 29 days ago, getting first run. Has an excellent AW record and is likely to go well again.

Form: 068-481

Saratoga Gold^b¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: K Shoemark| T: C Hills| OR: 89| D

13/2

Seven wins from 25 Flat runs. Unseated rider in handicap (15/2) at York (11.8f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Consistent type who shaped as if he'd come on for his reappearance at Newmarket prior to latest effort, so worthy of respect.

Form: 1114-3U

Nuits St Georges²⁹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan| T: D Menuisier| OR: 88| D

40/1

80/1, twenty second of 23 in handicap at Leopardstown (12.8f, soft). Off 9 months. Rejoined yard after leaving Henry De Bromhead. Has a bit to prove but worth a market check.

Form: 50/8600-

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: R Kingscote| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 86| CD

Protected Guest²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: T P Queally| T: G G Margarson| OR: 86| D

Unreliable individual. Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. 17/2, last of 8 in handicap at Nottingham (14f, firm) 29 days ago, finding nothing. Others preferred.

Form: 233028

Dubai Leader^h²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: J Fanning| T: C Johnston| OR: 83| CD

4/1

C&D winner. 14/1, career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Beverley (12.1f, good to firm) 25 days ago, having run of race. Type to improve further and could be hard to pass if he gets his own way in front.

Form: 15-8951

(2)

Neandra²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding| OR: 81| D

5/1

6/1, respectable 2¾ lengths fifth of 14 to Savvy Knight in handicap at this C&D 29 days ago. Should be thereabouts again.

Form: 3186-85

Forecasts

Savvy Knight (13/8), Moving Light (7/2), Dubai Leader (4/1), Neandra (5/1), Saratoga Gold (13/2), Protected Guest (22/1), Nuits St Georges (40/1)

DUBAI LEADER upped his game to score at Beverley last time and has the prospect of another soft lead, so he gets the nod over recent C&D winner Savvy Knight. Neandra is also considered.
