Age: 7| Weight: 10-4| J: Toby Moore⁽⁷⁾| T: K P De Foy| OR: 87| CD

22/1

Winner of the Lincoln in 2024 but lightly raced since. Off 11 months/first run since leaving Raphael Freire when a solid sixth of 13 in handicap at Thirsk (1m, good to soft) in May. Back from another layoff but not out of things.

Form: 00/056-6

15/2

Course winner last August. Largely in good form without winning this season, third of 10 in handicap at Ayr (1m, good to firm) 11 days ago. Needs considering.

Lake Como^p1⁷⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: Billy Loughnane| T: G Boughey| OR: 87| D

7/4

Won novice/handicap on all-weather in December. Sound efforts in defeat on first 2 outings this year but not at his best on turf at Newbury and Epsom last 2 runs. Freshened up since (also gelded) and not without interest back on an artificial surface with cheekpieces also sported for the first time.

Form: 11-3476

Darn Hot Gallop³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: J Tate| OR: 85| D

10/1

Won a pair of all-weather events in November and took a big step forward on handicap debut when scoring at Newmarket on return. Last of 6 in handicap at Newmarket (1¼m, good to firm) last month but no surprise to see her bounce back on polytrack debut.

Form: 11-1006

Lucky Camino³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: David Probert| T: H Palmer| OR: 84| D

17/2

Gelded before landing 5-runner handicap at Hamilton (1m, good to firm) last month, possibly still green but knuckling down well enough in the end. Up 4 lb and in the mix on polytrack debut with few miles still on the clock.

Form: 2231

Night Wolf^p1¹¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: D Swift| T: S Spencer| OR: 82

50/1

Has twice failed to build on promising debut York (7f) fifth for John and Sean Quinn, finishing last of 6 in novice at Pontefract (1¼m, good) on return in April. Gelded since and cheekpieces go on for handicap debut.

Form: 53-6

Chapter^b³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Jason Watson| T: C Hills| OR: 81

6/1

Blinkered for first time when scoring at Sandown in June and backed it up with good second of 4 in handicap at Wolverhampton following month. Very much one to consider.

Form: 713-612

(6)

Victory Ace¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: S M Levey| T: J Butler| OR: 79| C| D

9/4

Arrives on the up and bidding for a hat-trick after handicap wins at Newcastle (1m) and over 7f here (cheekpieces on for first time) recently. Big player with this return to 1m a likely plus.

Form: 126511

Lili Marleen⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin| T: Jack Jones| OR: 68| D

250/1

Won on all-weather at Chantilly in December for Waldemar Hickst but was pulled up on stable debut and has failed to beat a rival at Wolverhampton and over C&D since. Has it all to prove.

Form: 1-0FP90

Forecasts

Lake Como (7/4), Victory Ace (9/4), Percy's Lad (4/1), Chapter (6/1), Breakdancer (15/2), Lucky Camino (17/2), Darn Hot Gallop (10/1), Mr Professor (22/1), Night Wolf (50/1), Lili Marleen (250/1)

A few with chances but it could be worth siding with LAKE COMO who is a dual winner on the all-weather and returns after a break (also gelded) on a handy-looking mark. Hat-trick seeking Victory Ace rates a big threat stepping back up to 1m, with Darn Hot Gallop also of interest back on an artificial surface. Recent course scorer Percy's Lad also commands plenty of respect.
