  1. Winchurch (4/1) – This recent Southwell victor carries a weight penalty today, yet his promising early form suggests he’s equipped to handle the challenge. A strong contender if he maintains his trajectory.
  2. Anthropologist (7/2) – A half-brother to two juvenile sprint winners, he showed potential on debut. If he builds on that effort, he could very well find himself in the winner’s enclosure.
  3. Barrak (9/2) – A pricey yearling with a strong pedigree, he’s one to watch on his debut. The market may provide further clues about his readiness.
  4. Do It Now (9/4) – Comes from a line that excels early and showed significant promise in his first outing. The one to beat based on his debut run’s merit.
  5. Station X (10/1) – Related to speedy sorts, this newcomer could surprise. An interesting option at longer odds.
  6. Teej A (11/2) – Showed considerable grit to place on debut. With natural progression, he could improve enough to challenge here.

Verdict

In what looks a competitive field, Do It Now stands out as the top pick based on lineage and a strong initial showing. Expect Anthropologist to push him close, with Winchurch also proving a significant threat despite the extra weight.

  1. Flylikeaneagle (16/1) – A course and distance winner with proven ability. Though form has been mixed, he is well suited to this setting and could surprise.
  2. Ahamoment (11/2) – Fresh off a recent win, he has shown adaptability across distances and has momentum that could carry him forward here.
  3. Young Fire (14/1) – Has struggled recently but is significantly below his last winning mark, which could make him a dark horse in this race.
  4. Alpine Sierra (10/1) – Returns from a break and has previously shown ability to perform well fresh. Worth considering for an each-way bet.
  5. Bell Shot (5/1) – In good form and finished strongly in recent outings. Likely to be in the mix and a solid contender.
  6. B Associates (18/1) – Has yet to prove himself at this distance, making him a longer shot in this field.
  7. Black Friday (10/1) – Consistency isn’t his forte, but at his best, he’s capable of making an impact.
  8. Shine On Brendan (18/1) – Known to perform at this course, he’s on a competitive mark and could surprise.
  9. Kelpie Grey (12/1) – Has shown some ability but needs to prove he can handle the mile effectively.
  10. Bird Of Play (16/1) – New to this trainer, could improve and is well-handicapped on past form.
  1. Pallas Lord (7/1) – Strong performances on the all-weather; transitioning that form to turf will be key.
  1. Bloodhound (7/1) – Intriguing on handicap debut, recent runs suggest potential for improvement.
  1. Night Breeze (25/1) – Struggled in recent outings, would need a significant reversal of form to contend.
  1. Hougoumont (7/1) – Showed promise last time and could be well-suited by the conditions of this race.

Verdict

Flylikeaneagle could return to form on a course he favours, making him a value pick in a competitive race. Hougoumont, showing upward form, and Ahamoment, coming off a win, are also serious contenders in what promises to be a closely fought contest.

  1. Plus Point (7/2) – Comes off a strong performance, winning his last two races. Expectations are high for another powerful showing today.
  2. Haveyoumissedme (17/2) – Showed significant improvement in his last race, placing second. Could be on the cusp of returning to winning form.
  3. Sax Appeal (14/1) – After a victory in February, he’s been inconsistent. Could surprise if he recaptures that form.
  4. Stonking (12/1) – Known for a strong performance in soft conditions, might find today’s course to his liking.
  5. Detective (20/1) – Consistently places but rarely wins. A longshot for those looking for an outsider.
  6. Furzig (25/1) – Struggled recently but has shown flashes of form in the past that could reemerge.
  7. Bohemian Breeze (10/1) – Performs well on turf and could improve on recent lackluster runs.
  8. Dark Jedi (13/2) – Hasn’t won since 2022 but was a strong contender in his last outing.
  9. Simple Star (9/1) – Strong performances here previously; if he returns to that form, he could be very competitive.
  10. Baez (8/1) – Impressive winning streak last season, looks to translate that form over a longer distance.
  1. Soowaih (12/1) – Less experienced but has shown potential in limited starts. An interesting option for an upset.
  1. My Little Queens (25/1) – Form has been lacking recently; would need a major turnaround to contend here.
  1. Destinado (9/1) – Coming off strong recent outings and appears to be in top form heading into this race.

Verdict

Destinado is the top pick based on current form, showing he could excel at this distance under these conditions. Plus Point and Dark Jedi are also prime candidates to deliver strong performances, making this a highly competitive event.
