Won on 1¼m course reappearance last May and added to his tally over this trip at Newbury in July. Evidently capable when fresh and much respected on reappearance.

Stepped up on his Southwell reappearance third when an easy winner over 1½m at Doncaster a fortnight ago. Hit with an 8 lb rise but this low-mileage 4-y-o could have more to come. On the shortlist.

Won maiden/novice events on AW during the winter. Only a respectable sixth of 11 on Windsor handicap debut back from a break last month but no surprise were this lightly-raced sort to resume is progression now.

Regained the winning thread over this trip at Thirsk last autumn. Shaped as if needing the run when sixth of 13 on Epsom reappearance 24 days ago and should be sharper now.

Should strip fitter for a recent reappearance run and has dipped to 2 lb below the mark he defied at a similar time last year. Has a first-time tongue tie added to his regular cheekpieces.

Unreliable type. Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. 8/1, creditable sixth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (1m) 58 days ago but he looked a hard ride. Significantly up in trip.

Dual Flat winner in France but no significant impact in handicaps on the Flat this spring. Has fared better back hurdling since but others are preferred now back on the level.

Better than ever when scoring on twice on AW this spring. Turf winner much earlier in his career but was below par when last seen the grass last summer.

Forecasts

Iron Lion (7/4), Fox Journey (2/1), Composite (5/1), Vaynor (10/1), True Courage (12/1), Moktasaab (14/1), The Whipmaster (16/1), Swiss Money (66/1)

Verdict

There's a chance COMPOSITE just needed it after a break at Windsor last time and this low-mileage 4-y-o can get back on the up now. Iron Lion rates an obvious threat on the back of his ready Doncaster success, while the returning Fox Journey also merits respect having scored on his course reappearance at this time last year.
