5/2

Ended 2025 with a pair of all-weather handicap wins at up to 1m and resumed with a good fifth at Newmarket (1m) in May. Below that level next time but back on track when third on July course 3 weeks ago. Steps up in trip now.

Interstate^p¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Luke Catton⁽³⁾| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 81

3/1

Palace Pier colt who boasts a progressive profile, taking further step forward from his juvenile form after 8 months off when just touched off in 4-runner Doncaster novice (1¼m, good to firm) 2 weeks ago. Cheekpieces worn then retained for handicap debut and likely there's even better to come.

Form: 02-2

Edwin Hubble^b1¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Oisin Murphy| T: B J Meehan| OR: 77| BF

5/6

Still lightly raced and produced best effort to date when second at Windsor (11.5f) in June. Far from disgraced whilst possibly stretched by even stiffer test when fifth at Ascot (1½m) since and he's not discounted with blinkers enlisted and Oisin Murphy in the plate back down in trip.

Form: 332-725

Forecasts

Edwin Hubble (5/6), Elan D'or (5/2), Interstate (3/1)

INTERSTATE took another step forward after 8 months off when second on his qualifying run at Doncaster 2 weeks ago and appealing as the type to improve further as he gains more experience, he's fancied to make a bold bid on handicap debut. Edwin Hubble edges things for forecast purposes ahead of Elan D'or.
