Tupero^p,t⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 60

9/4

Off the mark at Newcastle in February and has continued in form while not being seen to best effect. Return to a longer trip could unlock a bit more improvement and he's the unexposed one here.

Form: 86-6124

Grey Fable²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Adam Caffrey| T: K Thornton| OR: 59

5/4

Not won for a while (2 victories in a fortnight at Chester in July 2024) but he's on a good mark as a result and might have needed the run after 5 months off at Dundalk (broke fast, appeared to anticipate start). Could do better if lasting out over this longer trip.

Form: 66756-6

Aighear¹⁸¹

Age: 8| Weight: 8-12| J: Amie Waugh⁽³⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 54| CD

11/1

Notched another 2 wins here in the autumn under this rider. Should remain competitive off this mark but record fresh suggests she might need this first run for 6 months.

Form: 531123-

Cascade Hall^h¹⁶²

Age: 7| Weight: 8-8| J: Lauren Young⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 50

3/1

Yet to win and was badly out of form when last seen in the autumn. Beaten just a head off 15 lb higher in 4-runner renewal of this race last year.

Forecasts

Grey Fable (5/4), Tupero (9/4), Cascade Hall (3/1), Elemental Eye (6/1), Ebony Maw (8/1), Aighear (11/1)

TUPERO hasn't been seen to best effect in 2 runs since his February Newcastle success and is the unexposed one here. He should stay this far and gets the vote over Ebony Maw.
