Is being kept busy in 2026, already winning 3 times on the all-weather. Has largely been holding his form on turf but shaped as if amiss at York 3 weeks ago.

Two all-weather wins for Hugo Palmer last summer. Proved he retains ability when second in first-time blinkers at Wetherby but not in same form both starts since.

Been in good heart for most of the year and enhanced excellent record at Beverley when winning there in April. No chance with a couple of well-treated rivals at Pontefract last time.

Scored twice at Wolverhampton in 2025 and added to his tally after a series of good efforts at Kempton in May. Possibly undone by a rise in the weights back on turf at Doncaster but did seem to have a bit of difficulty going the pace that day.

Generally reliable performer who landed a second win of the season when making all over C&D last month. Just failed at Musselburgh 5 days later and should go close again off revised mark (2 lb higher).

Forecasts

Perfidia (2/1), Tees George (5/2), No Knee Never (7/2), Sceptic (4/1), Bay Dream Believer (18/1), Popeye Doyle (25/1)

Verdict

A good chance for the in-form PERFIDIA to quickly resume winning ways with most of his rivals arriving with something to prove. Tees George is a clear next best.
