Won minor event on July course last summer before limitations exposed in better company. Starts handicapping now but opening mark not particularly appealing.

Dual winner at Newcastle, latest last month, and far from disgraced in better company at that course (6f) 15 days ago. Needs to prove himself on turf for first crack at handicapping now.

Two wins from 6 runs last year but was below form on handicap debut behind Anadora here on return 17 days ago. Bit to prove now.

Posted creditable fifth to Anadora in C&D handicap latest but has still to add to his debut success and has little in hand off his current mark.

Won 3 times from 6 starts last season but was below his best when last seen here in October and will need to find improvement to win off this mark.

Posted career best when winning 12-runner handicap (25/1) over C&D (good) 17 days ago by ½ length from Loves Me Likearock. 4 lb rise fair and likely to go well again.

Scored twice last season and found improvement when ½-length second of 12 to Anadora in C&D handicap on her return 17 days ago. Not taken lightly.

Won both his races in 2021 and showed improved form when ½-length third of 12 to Anadora in handicap over C&D (good, 16/1) 17 days ago. Another to consider.

Took his form up a notch when winning 8-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) last month. However, struggled in higher grade since and is yet to prove himself on turf.

Resumed winning ways at Newcastle in February and not seen to best effect when sixth in Lingfield handicap since. Interesting contender on turf debut.

Improved with each start thus far, latest when second of 8 in minor event (5/1) at Kempton (6f) 24 days ago. Could be more to come on switch to handicapping.

Off the mark at Ripon in September and wasn't seen to best effect at Kempton next time. Others look better handicapped, though.

Loves Me Likearock (9/2), Annaf (9/2), Ingra Tor (13/2), Vespasian (17/2), Harry Three (9/1), Anadora (9/1), Ernie's Valentine (9/1), Dig Two (12/1), Manaccan (14/1), Wyvern (16/1), Robjon (22/1), Rainbow Colours (33/1), Favourite Child (40/1)

Verdict

VESPASIAN has already scored twice this year and caught the eye from a poor draw at Lingfield last time. He is fancied to land the finale. Anadora and Loves Me Likearock head the list of dangers.
