Won novices at Goodwood and Lingfield last autumn. Best effort in handicaps since when second of 13 over C&D in May. Could do better still with few miles on the clock.

28/1

Fairly useful form when winning twice in France last season for Andre Fabre. Gelded/off 8 months but not out of things for another good yard.

Form: 4/15313-

12/1

Course winner. Failed to build on Kempton seventh in May when only tenth of 13 in handicap at Epsom (1½m) 26 days ago. Bounce back is needed.

Bulletin²⁶

3/1

Doubled his tally in 11f handicap here last August. Has held his form well since, posting another good effort when third of 13 in 1½m handicap at Epsom latest, faring best of those ridden promiently. Should continue to run well.

Form: 43-3243

18/1

Winner on last season's return at Chelmsford (14f) but ended 2025 largely below par and well held in a first-time tongue strap on his return over C&D in May. Needs to take a big step forward.

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Billy Loughnane| T: Hayley Burton| OR: 79| D

17/2

Gained a second win of 2026 in all-weather handicap at Lingfield in May. Good third of 11 in handicap here (2m) 36 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Needs considering.

Tripoli Flyer³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 8-5| J: Gina Mangan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 72

7/2

Smart hurdler who was a good third at Punchestown in May. Brought along steadily in this sphere and shaped well when third of 10 in novice here (11f) 36 days ago, running on late without being knocked about. Capable of better now handicapping. Interesting.

Form: 743

Forecasts

Master Vintner (11/8), Bulletin (3/1), Tripoli Flyer (7/2), Yaa Min (17/2), Max Mayhem (12/1), Steel Tiger (18/1), Thinthread (28/1)

Fergal O'Brien's TRIPOLI FLYER has some smart form to his name over hurdles and appeals as a likely improver now going handicapping in this sphere on the back of a promising third here so looks the way to go. The reliable Bulletin seems sure to be on the premises and rates next best ahead of in-form duo Master Vintner and Yaa Min.
