Campaigned in bumpers last winter, JOMONT has got it together since handicapping over this trip and a 3lb rise for his C&D win last time may not be enough to prevent him following up. Charlie Fellowes does well with runners here and his lightly raced Virgo could prove the main danger.
Aquamas could take a step forward now tackling 1m for the first time, while Royal Prospect won very easily here 24 days ago and he will be a threat to all if in the same form. Dreamseller and Vocatus are also on the shortlist but the vote goes to ENGLES ROCK. She travelled very strongly when second to a thriving rival here last month, recording a good Topspeed figure in the process, and can capitalise on the return to Class 6 company.
Serial slow starter Eyes won easily over 7f here last time and should go well again, despite a 6lb rise taking her up to a career-high mark, but the well-handicapped TWISTED DREAMS, who’ll be happier back down in trip, is preferred in a first-time visor. Support for Giant Steps would be interesting.
Spartan Fighter had Gowanlad, who gives Philip Kirby a strong hand alongside Burrows Seeside, and BLACKHEATH behind over C&D in late October. However, he’s 6lb worse off with both and the Dods runner, who hit traffic that night and is down to a career-low mark, gets the nod. Global Humor is another to consider in a trappy affair.
William Haggas, who has a good record with 2yos here despite this year’s tally of 0-9 putting a dent in the figures, has two live chances with newcomer Tiber Flow and the standard-setting PINK CRYSTAL, who did well to get as close as she did on her C&D debut after hitting traffic. Macchiavello and Superior Council are the others with realistic claims.
Only thirteen 3yos have contested this in its four previous renewals and the age group has been responsible for three winners as well as last year’s nose runner-up. The progressive HELLO ME (nap) can keep up the good work in a race containing its share of hold-up sprinters and serial hard-pullers, with Macho Pride, who looked an unlucky loser behind Oso Rapido over C&D early last month, the pick of those drawn low for his in-form yard. Lahore, who showed more for his new yard last time, is another to consider.
Animal Instinct often made the running for previous connections and he could take the smart Lord Of The Lodge on up front. Gioia Cieca still has potential and can go well but BOOSALA is preferred. William Haggas’ 4yo hasn’t stood much racing but he looked promising at two and created a good impression at Doncaster last month, when tanking through a useful big-field handicap. A 3lb rise shouldn’t be beyond him.
A tight race with each of the seven runners having something to recommend them. Teston may have to fight for the lead but he’s still greatly respected after hinting at a revival four weeks ago. La Rav has been in good form of late and goes well here but TADLEEL could be the answer. This is much less competitive than the turf races he’s been contesting and he is now 8lb lower than when sent off favourite for the Lincoln Trial on his most recent AW outing.
