5-time course winner but he came in last of 8 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago. No surprise to see him get back on track here though.

Resumed his progress with back-to-back Newcastle victories earlier this year. Not seen to best effect of late, ridden too aggressively when ninth in Chipchase there last time. Merits serious consideration off a lenient mark.

Not at best in Bahrain earlier in the year but right back to form of late with 6f wins at Windsor and Epsom. Up another 4 lb but he's not taken lightly.

Hit the target on five occasions last year, including over C&D. Yet to fire this year, cheekpieces on when seventh of 13 in handicap at Epsom (6f, good to soft) 42 days ago. Needs to get back on track.

It's now 17 runs since his last win in 2022 but he posted a creditable second of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 14 days ago. Can give another good account.

Went backwards from his reappearance when seventh of 8 in handicap at Redcar (5f, good to firm) 21 days ago. A fairly useful 5f scorer at his best so he can't be totally discounted.

Enjoyed a very successful 2023 campaign, scoring 4 times over 5f. Not best drawn when fifteenth of 16 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, good) 12 days ago so no forlorn hope from an easing mark.

C&D winner who also landed the Dash at Epsom in June. Not at his best when fifth of 6 in handicap at Sandown (5f, good) 8 days ago but he's the sort to bounce back.

A fairly useful juvenile scorer who also kept some good company but he ran poorly after 11 months off when twenty seventh of 28 over C&D 22 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time with something to prove.

C&D winner in May who took his form up a notch when landing 6-runner handicap at Windsor (5.1f, good to firm) 19 days ago by 1¼ lengths from Jumbeau. Oughtt to be in the shake-up despite a 5 lb rise.

Notched a third career success in 5f handicap at Goodwood in May. Backed it up with a solid fourth of 16 at Thirsk (5f, good) 27 days ago so he's one to consider.

In fine form this term, scoring at Nottingham and Goodwood before posting a very good second of 8 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Can go well again.

Turned in his best effort of the season when sixth of 11 in handicap at York (6f, good to soft) 29 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Not without interest off a falling mark.

Forecasts

King's Lynn (9/2), Fair Wind (17/2), Albasheer (10/1), Get It (10/1), Badri (11/1), Rohaan (11/1), Haymaker (12/1), Woolhampton (12/1), Lethal Nymph (12/1), Dream Composer (14/1), Brave Nation (14/1), Prince of Zenda (14/1), Jumbeau (16/1), Russet Gold (18/1), Existent (18/1), Vintage Clarets (22/1), Danger Alert (33/1), Conservationist (40/1), Toca Madera (40/1)

Verdict

A case can be made for lots of these but ALBASHEER hasn't enjoyed the rub of the green of late and lurks on a good mark at present so edges the vote. Both Danger Alert (engaged Chester Friday) and Conservationist have caught the eye of late and are handily weighted too so could emerge as the main dangers to Archie Watson's 6-y-o. Get It and Russet Gold complete the shortlist.
