Zyn Frontrunner Handicap

Smart in his prime, including Group 2/3 wins. Hasn't got his head in front since 2023 but latest ¾-length second of 7 to Where's Freddy over C&D (good to firm) shows he's down to a mark he can be very competitive from. Visored first time.

Front-runner who easily made all over C&D (good to firm) last month. Found it a lot harder trying to pull off similar tactics in the Bunbury Cup back here at the July Meeting and he's another 3 lb higher.

Ex French-trained 4-y-o who failed to build on his 1m course stable debut/reappearance when fourth (Nikovo third) of 11 over C&D at the July Meeting but remains one who is likely to click for his leading new yard before long.

Won at Newcastle in March and arrives on the back of 3 successive in-frame efforts, the latest finishing third (Exposure 1¾ lengths back in fourth) in a C&D handicap at the July Meeting. That form received a boost when the second won at Goodwood on Wednesday.

Isn't the most straightforward but produced an uncharacteristically strong finishing effort with first-time cheekpieces applied to win a C&D handicap (good to firm) last month. The headgear didn't have the same effect when 3¾ lengths fifth of 7 to Where's Freddy and Jumby back here since.

Third C&D success of his career when proving ¾ length too strong for Jumby on good to firm 13 days ago. Only nudged up 2 lb and likely to give another good account.

Won at Chelmsford (1m) in March and also a good second of 15 at Chester (1½m) in May. Last of 24 in the Kensington Palace at Royal Ascot but this is a more realistic assignment.

Doubled his tally in straightforward fashion on the Rowley course here under Chloe Lyons in May. Back to that form when close second over C&D (good to firm) in June and runner-up again at Epsom since.

This front-runner has enjoyed an excellent spell this summer, winning 5 times in Class 6 company. Respectable third of 6 in Class 4 at Yarmouth (7f, firm) 16 days ago and a suspicion he might be vulnerable again kept to this grade.
