First run since leaving Kenneth G. McPeek when well-beaten last of 9 to Heart of Honor in listed race at this course (9.4f, 22/1) 42 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Easy to look elsewhere.

C&D winner. Respectable 8¾ lengths fourth of 9 to Heart of Honor in listed race (20/1) at this course (9.4f) 42 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Two wins from 5 runs last year. Career best when winning 16-runner handicap at this course (10.9f, 17/2) 14 days ago by 3¼ lengths from Valdivia, comfortably. An 8 Ib rise in the weights may not be enough to stop him going in again.

Course winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. 7½ lengths fourth of 16 to Antrim in handicap at this course (10.9f, 14/1) 14 days ago, nearest finish. Habitual slow starter but has dropped to a handy mark.

Two wins from 5 runs last year. Below form 13½ lengths tenth of 16 to Antrim in handicap (12/1) at this course (10.9f) 14 days ago. Merits consideration but hasn't been done any favours by the draw once more.

Verdict

ANTRIM was an impressive winner on dirt debut last time and his new mark may not be enough to stop him going in again. Ocean Viking is respected, while Go Soldier Go is dangerous to ignore from this mark.
