2/1

Smart 6f/7f scorer last seen posting a solid third of 19 in Champions Sprint Stakes at Ascot (6f, 66/1) 98 days ago. Yard is going well and classy contender on tapeta debut back at 5f.

15/2

A very useful 5f winner in 2024. Just his second run back from 17 months off and didn't look the easiest of rides under pressure when fourth of 6 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 35 days ago. Needs to build on it.

11/4

Disappointed on turf last year but landed 6f handicap here in November. Didn't enjoy the rub of the green when ninth 8 days ago and no surprise to see him go well back at the minimum trip.

4/1

Scored twice on AW early in 2025 and back from a break in fine form, collared only late on when a clear second of 10 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 52 days ago. A player over this stiff 5f.

Forecasts

Quinault (2/1), Germanic (11/4), Carbine Harvester (4/1), Paddy's Day (9/2), Equality (15/2), Tribal Wisdom (16/1)

CARBINE HARVESTER took his form up a notch when runner-up at Kempton last time and is fancied to resume winning ways off a handy-looking mark. Germanic wasn't seen to ideal effect here recently and could prove the main danger, although Quinault is certainly the class act in the field.
