FAV
Promising individual who's lightly raced for his age. 8/13, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at this course (12f, good to soft) 42 days ago, forging clear. Was impressive on that occasion and looks ready for the step up in grade.

Arabian Light (G)
Smart gelding. Career best when winning 14-runner handicap at this C&D (good, 2/1) 28 days ago, despite racing wide. Expected to be bang there up in grade.

Crystal Black (G)
[T]
Smart gelding. Placed once from 3 starts in 2025. 12/1, below form 21 lengths fifth of 9 to Al Riffa in Irish St Leger at the Curragh (14f, good to soft), unsuited by step up in trip. Off 138 days. Back down in trip. Could be vulnerable to…

Fort George (G)
Useful gelding. Two wins from 5 runs last year, latest at Newbury in August. Creditable second of 12 in handicap (7/4) at this course (9f, good) 21 days ago. Should be in the mix for minor money.
