Great David (C)
[P]
Made up into a useful sort last year but operating from a much higher mark now and he's not figured either start in handicaps at Chester/Epsom (tried in cheekpieces) in recent months. Might need a bit more respite from the assessor.

Rathgar (G)

Straightforward type who doubled his tally for the season when landing City & Suburban Handicap at Epsom in April. That form has been very well advertised and he again ran with credit when ninth at York (10.3f) 3 weeks ago. Revised mark do…

Flying Frontier (H)
Low-mileage 6-y-o who registered a second C&D victory when taking this race from 1 lb higher 12 months ago. Lightly raced since, setting himself up nicely for a repeat bid when fourth in the Zetland Gold Cup at Redcar (1¼m) 6 weeks ago.

Theory Of Tides (G)
Looked a good prospect when winning first 2 starts in spring 2024. Well held subsequently that year but took his form up a notch on both starts last season, latterly second of 11 at Newbury (1¼m, soft) in September. Left John & Thady Gosde…

Brasil Power (G)
[T]
Thrived on a busy winter schedule, adding another all-weather success to his tally over further at Wolverhampton in March. Has essentially struggled in some top end handicaps over a variety of trips more recently and the assessor is provin…

King's Code (G)
[V]
Successful 4 times during the all-weather campaign and ran better than for a while on turf when fifth of 7 in handicap at Windsor (11.5f) 7 days ago. Visor goes back on in place of blinkers but he didn't really suggest his turn was near la…

Point Of Contact (G)
Newbury maiden winner (at 1m) who showed benefit of reappearance run eased markedly in class when making breakthrough in handicaps at York (9f) 3 weeks ago, showing a good attitude. Goes back up in grade now but he's in excellent hands and…

Cloth Of Gold (G)
Lightly raced 4-y-o who had clearly derived plenty from his York reappearance effort when posting a good second at Newcastle (1¼m) 9 days ago, doing well to get amongst those who sat at the head of affairs. Still not fully exposed and not …

Not long with new connections and he continues to shape well, catching the eye when third at Epsom on penultimate start and unlucky to bump into an unexposed handicap debutant at Nottingham 2 weeks ago. Clearly on an exploitable mark and i…
