Winner at Lingfield (13f, good to firm) in June. 15/2, faded when 10½ lengths sixth of 8 to Cloudy Rose in handicap at Doncaster (14.5f, good to firm) 52 days ago. The drop back in trip is in his favour.

6/1

Won this race last year. Creditable third of 10 in handicap at Goodwood (9f, good to firm, 4/1) 9 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Significantly back up in trip. Cheekpieces back on. Can make a bold bid in this race again.

8/1

C&D winner in May and has added 2 more wins at Windsor and Ffos Las this month. A further 2 lb rise shouldn't prevent another prominent showing in his current mood.

13/2

Twenty one runs since last win in 2022. Went close to snapping that losing run in an 11.5f classified event at Yarmouth in July but could only manage a well-held fifth in a handicap back there since.

Form: 6-94525

Down the field in all 4 handicaps and a first-time tongue tie needs to help him stage a major revival.

Forecasts

Bohemian Breeze (5/2), Cloudy Rose (3/1), Pride Of Nepal (6/1), Irezumi (13/2), Fen Tiger (13/2), Sea Of Charm (8/1), One Million Dreams (12/1), Blue Universe (33/1), Noble Phoenix (250/1)

PRIDE OF NEPAL arrives on the back of a series of creditable efforts under Sarah Bowen this summer, shaping better than the result at Goodwood last time, and can land this race for the second year in succession. Bohemian Breeze, Cloudy Rose and Sea of Charm have all tasted success here this year and are others to consider in this competitive opener.
