Two Tempting (G)
Captured this prize in 2024. Off 5 months before only seventeenth of 18 in handicap at Goodwood (1m, good to firm) 22 days ago. The sort to bounce back though.

Five Ways (C)
Group 3 winner last year (also fourth in the Middle Park on final outing). Below par this season aside from fourth of 9 in listed race here (7f) in July. Others appeal more.

Sixteen runs since his last win in 2023 but he posted a solid second of 11 in handicap here when last seen out in May. Not out of things back down in trip after a break.

Scored over 1m at Meydan in January. Back on track with third of 20 in handicap at Goodwood (7f, good to firm) 24 days ago, especially as didn't enjoy a clear passage. One to consider.

Asuka (C) FAV
Lightly-raced 4-y-o who went 3-4 with success on his handicap debut in 15-runner event at Thirsk (7f, good) 3 weeks ago, overcoming a troubled passage in the process. Up 3 lb but can go well again.

Made all in this 12 months ago. Yet to fire this season though and a below-par fourth of 6 in handicap at Haydock (7f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Needs to take a step forward.

Multiple 7f/1m winner. On a losing run but better than his recent form figures suggest, seeming unsuited by good to firm ground when nineteenth of 20 in handicap at Goodwood (7f) 24 days ago. Interes…

Ended a losing run stretching back almost 2 years at Salisbury (7f) in June. Added to it with success in 6-runner claimer over C&D (good to firm) 20 days ago. This is tougher though.

Dual winner last term who resumed his progress when narrowly taking 6f handicap at Ripon in May. Backed it up with a solid sixth of 12 at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) 11 days ago. No forlorn hope.

A 4-time winner (including over C&D) in 2025. Good C&D second in July and comes here on the back of a solid third of 11 in handicap at Musselburgh (7f, good to firm) 15 days ago. In the picture.
