9/4

Has only a debut win to his name but was runner-up over C&D off 2 lb higher on his 2025 reappearance and clearly goes well fresh. Might be worth chancing.

Silver Trumpet¹⁵⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 79| C

6/1

All wins over 7f, including here, but was third over C&D off a similar mark on his 2025 reappearance so could get very competitive.

Forecasts

Down To The Kid (13/8), Star Studied (3/1), Silver Trumpet (5/1), Eldrickjones (5/1), Tilted Kilt (6/1), Gunlock (6/1), Shimmering Spin (7/1)

TILTED KILT has a good record fresh, including a second over C&D on his 2025 reappearance, and might be worth siding with to deny course specialist Down To The Kid a second successive win in this race.
