20/1
Course winner. Below form seventh of 13 in handicap (125/1) at Newbury (12f, good) 18 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Significantly up in trip. Should strip fitter for latest outing and becoming well treated.

15/8
Lightly-raced winner. 6/4, career best when winning 5-runner handicap at Thirsk (16.1f, good to soft) 5 days ago, suited by increase in trip. Carries penalty. Makes polytrack debut.

33/1
4-time course winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2021. 25/1, 9½ lengths twelfth of 13 to Solution in handicap at Kempton (16f) 23 days ago, unsuited by way race developed. Plenty to prove at present.

15/8
Promising type. Didn't need to improve to win 13-runner handicap at Kempton (16f, 3/1) 23 days ago. Unexposed over this distance and rise for latest effort might not be enough to stop him.

10/3
1 win from 3 runs this year. 13/2, creditable 2 lengths fifth of 13 to Solution in handicap at Kempton (16f) 23 days ago, faring best of those held up. Worth considering.

Forecasts

Solution (15/8), Art De Vivre (15/8), Bodygroove (10/3), Arcadian Friend (10/1), Mukha Magic (16/1), Renardeau (20/1), Arabescato (33/1), Phoenix Aquilus (66/1)

Verdict

SOLUTION relished the step up to this sort of distance when winning at Kempton last month and, with further improvement on the cards, he takes marginal preference over fellow last-time-out winner Art de Vivre. Bodygroove can also feature if the race is run to suit.
