5/2
6/1, shaped as if still in good form when sixth of 15 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, good) 47 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Merits plenty of respect back down in grade.

Latest win at Southwell in October and creditable efforts both starts this season, making effort earlier than ideal when third at Wetherby (1m) 19 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and looks to have solid claims.

Latest win at Chelmsford City in October and not seen to best effect last 2 outings, short of room over 1f out at Chelmsford latest. Not ruled out back on turf.

Ran well returning from 7 months off when second at Yarmouth in April but wasn't in the same form at Doncaster 3 weeks ago. Bounce back called for.

4/1
Twenty two runs since last win in 2023 but ran better than on last couple of starts in first-time eyeshields when fifth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 15 days ago. Possibilities if building on that back on turf.

Twelve runs since last win in 2023 but wasn't disgraced after a 12-week break when fourth of 7 in handicap at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm, 4/1) 41 days ago. 5 lb out of the weights here, however.

Showed very little both starts back from a long absence in 2024. Returns from a further 8 months off from 5 lb out of the weights and easily passed over.

Just one win from 21 Flat runs and was well held at Brighton on most recent outing 11 months ago. Hard to make a case for from 6 lb out of the weights.

Forecasts

Stratocracy (5/2), Onemorenomore (5/2), Nammos (3/1), Split Elevens (3/1), Cooperation (4/1), Zina Colada (18/1), Spanish Mane (22/1), Hold The Press (100/1), Basharat (100/1)

Verdict

STRATOCRACY has shaped encouragingly both starts back this season, including when making his effort earlier than ideal at Wetherby on most recent outing, so he receives the vote. Onemorenomore merits respect back down in grade, as does the ultra-consistent Split Elevens.
