13/8

Enterprisingly ridden when winning on reappearance for the second successive season at Southwell in early-June. Struggled from 9 lb higher next time but left with a simple task when a wide-margin winner at Stratford (17f) recently. Opposable back up 3 lb for that virtual non-event.

Form: PP-13V1

1/1

Has been much improved since joining current yard, making it 4 wins from 5 starts in 6-runner event at Perth (2m) when last seen in mid-July, beating the reopposing Garde Des Champs by 10 lengths. Timefigure supported that performance so can pick up from where he left off upped another 8 lb.

Form: P-11411

Garde Des Champs^p,t³²

Age: 10| Weight: 10-6| J: D R Fox| T: L Russell & M Scudamore| OR: 103

9/2

Unreliable sort who failed to arrest the slide back hurdling for the first time in over 2 years last month. Likely faces another struggle, though much lower in the weights than when 3rd in 2024 (9 lb) and 4th in 2025 (14 lb) renewals of this race.

Form: 8-43328

Forecasts

Conquer The Breeze (1/1), Duke Of Luckley (13/8), Garde Des Champs (9/2)

CONQUER THE BREEZE hasn't looked back since joining current connections and having been freshened up by a 2-month break, Adam Nicol's 7-y-o is fancied to make it 5 wins from his last 6 outings. Duke of Luckley won a virtual non-event at Stratford just over 3 weeks ago and he can chase home the selection with his usual visor reapplied.
