4/6
Promising individual who's lightly raced for his age. 8/13, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at this course (12f, good to soft) 42 days ago, forging clear. Was impressive on that occasion and looks ready for the step up in grade.

5/1
Smart gelding. Placed once from 3 starts in 2025. 12/1, below form 21 lengths fifth of 9 to Al Riffa in Irish St Leger at the Curragh (14f, good to soft), unsuited by step up in trip. Off 138 days. Back down in trip. Could be vulnerable to younger legs.

9/1
Useful gelding. Two wins from 5 runs last year, latest at Newbury in August. Creditable second of 12 in handicap (7/4) at this course (9f, good) 21 days ago. Should be in the mix for minor money.

Forecasts

By The Book (4/6), Arabian Light (10/3), Crystal Black (5/1), Fort George (9/1), Chibitty (33/1), Miss Of Change (50/1), Al Madhar (100/1)

Verdict

BY THE BOOK has done little wrong to date and can follow up his recent success here. Stablemate Arabian Light should be bang there, while Fort George also requires consideration.
