11/8

Has shown fairly useful form this year, including when third of 16 at Haydock (33/1) in May. Well beaten in 11th of 18 in handicap at Newbury (16/1) 45 days ago despite having previously shown an aptitude for heavy ground. Returns to AW from a mark below last winning rating.

10/1

Won 3 consecutive AW races early in 2025, including at this C&D, before finishing 6th of 10 in handicap at Windsor (20/1) 91 days ago, shaping as if better for the run after absence. Likely to be sharper after that reappearance.

Forecasts

Sergeant Pep (11/8), Coronado King (7/2), Lightning Bear (15/2), Way To Dubai (10/1), Whenthedealinsdone (10/1), Giorgio M (12/1), Harry Brown (14/1), Counsel (16/1), Balon D'or (25/1), Manhattan Chute (28/1), The Organiser (50/1)

SERGEANT PEP returns to the all-weather off a mark below his last winning rating and can bounce back to form shown when placed at Haydock. Coronado King looked much improved when scoring at Wolverhampton and remains open to progress. Harry Brown, a course specialist with four C&D wins, should relish returning to his favoured conditions.
