11/2
A fairly useful performer for Henk Grewe when trained in Germany last year. Runner-up in minor events on final 3 starts before being sold for €42,000. May have a lenient opening mark though the betting probably the best guide on British debut.

9/4, didn't need to improve to win 5-runner handicap at Southwell (1¾m) 25 days ago. Had little in hand at the line and may find it tougher back on turf despite being raised just 2 Ib (yet to win away from the all-weather).

Has been in good heart since joining this yard, including over hurdles, and resumed winning ways in 9-runner handicap at Musselburgh (4/7) 19 days ago. Raised just 3 Ib and looks sure to give another good account.

In top form for this yard winning his last 2 starts over 2m at Southwell. Only up a further 2 Ib and has to be taken seriously in hat-trick bid.

Nineteen runs since last win in 2023. 17/2, good third of 6 in handicap at Redcar (1¾m, good to firm) 11 days ago. Remains opposable on balance.

Very much had the run of the race when getting off the mark in 4-runner handicap (3/1) at Ayr (15f, good to firm) 13 days ago, unchallenged. That was a weak race and he's passed over in a tougher event.

Forecasts

Cascade Hall (5/2), As Fast As Wind (3/1), Loki (11/2), Lord (6/1), Charlie Darling (10/1), Haarar (12/1), Billy No Mates (14/1), Swinging London (16/1), Ashdown Forest (16/1)

Verdict

Several of these head into this on the back of a recent success and preference is for AS FAST AS WIND who should get a greater test of stamina returning to this longer trip. Ashdown Forest appeals as the type to make a return to form and can chase the selection home, while Charlie Darling should also be in the mix in his hat-trick bid.

  1. As Fast As Wind3/1
  2. Ashdown Forest16/1
  3. Charlie Darling10/1
