Conquest Of Power^v⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Paddy Bradley| T: M D I Usher| OR: 50| C

10/11

Course winner. Three wins from 21 runs last year. 15/2, good second of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 6 days ago, just failing. Visor back on. Expected to be bang there on first dip into this company.

Fact Or Fable^p⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: Millie Wonnacott⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Moore| OR: 48| D

6/1

Dual 1m winner on turf last summer who comes here in good form, creditable third of 9 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 4 days ago. Fancied to be thereabouts again back up in trip.

Form: 084-933

(8)

Iftikhaar^v²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: S M Levey| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 45

10/1

Remains a maiden after 25 Flat runs. Creditable fifth of 10 in minor event (12/1) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 20 days ago. Visor back on but he has work to do back up in trip.

Form: 3849-65

Invincible Navy²²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Billy Loughnane| T: R Cook & J Bridger| OR: 50

7/1

Modest gelding. 12/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at Newbury (6f, good to soft). Off 7 months. Significantly back up in trip.

Form: 665840-

(6)

Lucky Question²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Jack Doughty⁽³⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 44

9/1

Modest gelding. Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. Not disgraced after 4 months off when sixth of 9 in handicap at Brighton (7f, good to soft, 33/1) 3 weeks ago. Represents a yard in excellent form but he's another needing to step up if he's to play a lead role.

Form: 65576-4

(4)

Repartee^p⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: George Wood| T: C Wallis| OR: 42

11/1

Thirty runs since last win in 2020. Didn't shape all that badly following 3 months off when fourth of 9 in handicap (28/1) at Kempton (7f) 4 days ago, starting better than is often the case. Task is to build on that now.

Form: 97866-4

Roundabout Silver¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Tommie Jakes⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dow| OR: 45| D

28/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Sixth of 9 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 22/1) 11 days ago, always around same position. Needs to step up on that if he's to figure but another representing a yard amongst the winners.

Form: 70756-6

(7)

So Chic²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Gina Mangan| T: Stephanie Cassidy| OR: 46| C

9/1

Modest mare. Course winner. 5/2, respectable fourth of 10 in minor event at this course (7f, AW) 23 days ago, nearest finish. Both career victories have come at 7f but she's worth another crack at this longer trip on that evidence. Each-way claims.

Form: 68968-4

Forecasts

Conquest Of Power (10/11), Fact Or Fable (6/1), Invincible Navy (7/1), So Chic (9/1), Lucky Question (9/1), Iftikhaar (10/1), Repartee (11/1), Roundabout Silver (28/1)

CONQUEST OF POWER settled better than can be the case and ran well when finishing runner-up over the extended 1m trip at Wolverhampton 6 days ago. He looks to hold solid claims with a repeat at this level and earns the vote. Fact Or Fable and So Chic may emerge next best.
