Lavender Hill Mob^p¹¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Mason Paetel⁽⁵⁾| T: James Owen| OR: 97| D

9/1

Useful dual-purpose performer who's back down in class on his return to this sphere and his win over hurdles at Cheltenham in November gives plenty of hope that he can prove fully effective over staying trips on the Flat.

Belgravian^p¹⁶⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Jason Watson| T: A M Balding| OR: 95| D

13/2

Improving stayer who impressively bagged a fourth win of the season at Goodwood in August. Good third off 10 lb higher at Newmarket next time before respectable seventh of 19 in Cesarewitch there final start. No surprise if he had more to offer still as a 4-y-o.

Sheradann^h,t¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: D Egan| T: Ian Williams| OR: 89| BF| CD

12/1

Both wins in Britain have been on all-weather at around 2m, including over C&D in October. Bounced back from a pair of lesser efforts when third at Lingfield before not seen to best effect at Wolverhampton. Back on last winning mark.

Form: 810-034

Blindedbythelights^p²⁴⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Dylan Hogan| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 88

9/4

Progressed last season without winning, finding one too good for the third time in as many starts at Ascot in July. Off since but goes well fresh.

Form: 224/222-

Anniversary^b²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Jack Dace⁽⁵⁾| T: R M Beckett| OR: 91| BF

13/2

Showed plenty of promise as a 2-y-o but seen only twice last season, failing to convince with his stamina Doncaster. Left poorly placed in steadily-run race at Lingfield on return last month and this should reveal more.

Form: 122/85-5

Trojan Storm²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Jack Doughty| T: Ian Williams| OR: 77

20/1

Career best when winning on firm ground at Ascot last summer but well held all 3 starts after 6 months off. 1 lb out of handicap.

Form: 3317-80

Forecasts

Blindedbythelights (9/4), Align The Stars (5/1), Brasil Power (11/2), Belgravian (13/2), Anniversary (13/2), Lavender Hill Mob (9/1), Sheradann (12/1), Spirit Mixer (14/1), Trojan Storm (20/1)

Competitive stuff with the vote going to BELGRAVIAN, who went from strength to strength over staying trips last season and may still have more to offer as a 4-y-o. Lightly-raced 6-y-o Blindedbythelights was beaten only by an improving 3-y-o at Ascot when last seen in July and is another to consider along with the thriving Brasil Power.
