Selected odds by:
Landed Newbury 1m4f h'cap last term off 9lb lower mark the good fourth in Melrose H'cap at York in August. Disappointed final start in October and need to imporve to score off top weight on seasonal bow.
Off the mark at the fourth time of asking on final start last term in 1m4f Leicester novice stakes. This is tougher but is bred to improve and is with the right connections. Intersting contender on handicap debut.
2-4 last season winning 1m2f Nottingham maiden then fending off all-comers in brave fashion in 1m2f Sandown h'cap in August. 3lb higher and steps up in trip but jockey booking suggests some stable confidence.
Only win from eight came in 1m4f Haydock novice stakes on second start last April. Fair sixth in King George V Handicap at Royal Ascot in June off 4lb higher so not out of this if ready to roll.
Won Windsor 1m3f h'cap last summer then campaigned at up to 2m in late autumn without success. Back to optimum trip but may find one or two too quick at this level.
1-10 to date and has gone close on plenty of other occasions at up to 1m6f. Good third in valuable event at York in October on soft ground but handles most conditions. Top jockey having only third ride for yard and has placed on first two.
Chelmsford AW 1m2f maiden winner last term but has to prove he stays this trip having run out of puff on only previous attempt when well beaten at Ascot in September. 2lb lower now but others make more appeal.
Yard already among the winners since racing returned. Last turf win came at Leopardstown 1m2f in Listed even three years ago for Jessica Harrington. Won on second start for current yard at Newcastle last April but didn't shine after at up to 2m.
Out of sorts in four runs this winter having won at Newmarket's July course last summer over this trip. Arguably nicley handicapped on pick of form but has yet to win after a break and may improve for this.
Had a great 2019 campaign winning four times and rising 20lb in the process. May find life a good deal tougher this term but goes well fresh and may not be far away with rider claiming useful 3lb.
Veteran hurdler/chaser who has smart form over obstacles but hasn't won on Flat since July 2013. May find things happening a little bit too quick for him and is hard to recommend.
Landed 1m2f novice event at Epsom in heavy ground in September on only second outing. Undone by slow start when close third but odds-on at Chelmsford time after. Interesting contender for top yard going up in trip on handicap bow.
Forecasts
Edinburgh Castle (7/2), Look Closely (9/2), Holy Kingdom (5/1), Dubai Instinct (6/1), Skymax (7/1), Severance (10/1), Durrell (12/1), Grandee (16/1), Chesterfield (22/1), Gas Monkey (33/1), Jersey Wonder (40/1), Stamford Raffles (50/1)
Plenty with chances and a narrow vote goes to HOLY KINGDOM who ran a number of good races last term and on whom James Doyle looks a signifcant booking. Edinburgh Castle gets weight all round on his handicap bow and may do well this term having been gelded since his last run. Gas Monkey improved throughout last campaign and a bold show is not ruled out from him or from topweights Skymax and Look Closely. Dubai Instinct is another who may well be right on the premises.
- Holy Kingdom
- Look Closely
