25/1
Has been a real money spinner on the continent for connections, adding another win to his tally in Group 3 at Milan in the autumn. However, below par since including when down the field in a pair of Group 3s last month. Drops into handicaps for the first time in a while but needs to find a spark.

2024 Buckingham Palace stakes winner but well below that form since, including when well-beaten in this year's renewal in first time cheekpieces (now discarded) last month. Best form has come over 7f but handicapper has given him a chance.

7/2
Fulfilled reappearance promise when winning 8-runner handicap at Ayr (8f, good to soft) 11 days ago, putting the race to bed with a minimum of fuss. Carries 5 lb penalty and while yet to win off a mark this high, he looks as good as ever at the age of 5. Respected.

Outstanding pedigree and made successful debut at Yarmouth (7f) last season. Too green on reappearance but back on track when quickening decisively to beat a subsequent winner over C&D in May. Entered in the Group 2 Great Voltigeur next month and remains open to improvement on handicap debut.

10/1
On a long losing run but added another creditable placed effort to this season's CV when second of 6 in handicap at Musselburgh (9f, good to firm, 10/1) 16 days ago, not ideally placed. Should remain competitive from this mark.

7f novice winner at 2 yrs and came as close as he has to winning a handicap when a close third of 16 in handicap at Carlisle (7.8f, soft) 22 days ago. Should be in the mix again under good value 5 lb claimer.

Forecasts

Sallaal (4/6), Theoryofeverything (7/2), English Oak (17/2), Rhythm Master (10/1), Sailthisshipalone (18/1), Brave Emperor (25/1)

Verdict

Recent C&D winner SALLAAL still holds an entry in the Group 2 Great Voltigeur next month and this well-bred son of Frankel may have too much for his rivals on handicap debut. Theoryofeverything looked better than ever when winning at Ayr earlier this month and is feared most under a penalty. Of the rest, Rhythm Master may well add another placed effort to this season's CV while Sailthisshipalone won't be inconvenienced by any rainfall having gone close in a handicap on soft ground last time out.
