Won at Windsor last August. Also a good second on reappearance there in April but below his best in 2 outings since. Back on his last successful and no shock to see him stage a revival.

Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Eighth of 12 in handicap (28/1) at Brighton (7f, good to firm) 16 days ago, ridden too aggressively. Falling in the weights but need to see more.

Third win of 2024 when seeing off 25 rivals at Ascot (6f, good to firm) in May. Respectable third of 8 in handicap (13/2) at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Should give another good account.

Improved to win 5f Haydock apprentice handicap last Thursday. Escapes a penalty so will be hard to beat if in the same form.

Won over 6f in Hong Kong last year but out of sorts there when last seen around the turn of the year and last of 8 on recent British debut. Can only be watched.

Forecasts

Fahrenheit Seven (11/8), Northcliff (9/4), Fierce (5/1), Watchya (9/1), Capote's Dream (11/1), Southbank (28/1), Twitch (80/1)

Verdict

A race which revolves around FAHRENHEIT SEVEN, who was nicely on top off this mark at Haydock last week and will take some stopping if in a similar mood this evening. Northcliff has had a productive first half of 2024 and can chase Mark Usher's charge home.
