C&D winner. Twenty one runs since last win in 2022. 16/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 23 days ago. Others are more compelling.

7/2, career best when winning 14-runner handicap at Kempton (1m) 8 days ago. Only nudged up 2 lb and likely to be in the thick of things again.

Runner-up at Chelmsford in July (also won there last year) but well held on both outings since, including back at Chelmsford last time. Needs first-time blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) to give him a lift.

Modest maiden. Creditable eighth of 13 in handicap at Southwell (11f) 28 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. One to consider.

Forecasts

Red Hat Eagle (1/1), Goldsmith (2/1), Mykonos St John (13/2), Al Hargah (10/1), Showlan Spirit (18/1), Tribal Wisdom (20/1), Hurricane Kiko (50/1), The Game Is Up (50/1), Tiz Likely (50/1), Pierce (66/1)

Verdict

GOLDSMITH is taken to get his head back in front returned to the scene of his wins last winter. Red Hat Eagle was only raised 2 lb for last week's Kempton success and is the obvious threat in a contest where few arrive with compelling claims. Showlan Spirit may prove best of the remainder.
