Makes his handicap debut having gone really well in novice company the last twice, first winning over C&D when comfortably beating a now-88 rated Jolly Roger by 5L and then last time out winning at Doncaster on quick ground. The 2nd that day was beaten into 2nd on handicap debut yesterday, beaten by what looks to be a real handicap blot, and I think that's a strong enough run to suggest Sixtygeesbaby is well treated from a mark of 86, particularly with a 7lbs claimer in the saddle. Yard have had 2 winners in the last 3 days, with a further two placed yesterday. All looks set for a win on his first handicap start.

I looked to try and take on Rosallion but realistically I think he's the best horse in the race and should have the race run to suit. Beaten by Notable Speech on seasonal debut in the Guineas last year (NS race fit) he was doing his best work at the finish and made amends in the Irish version afterwards. Won another Group 1 at Royal Ascot when again swooping late before injury curtailed bigger plans. He goes well fresh and with Fallen Angel likely to set a good gallop he should have a strong pace to aim at and can make his class felt.

Very lightly raced 4-year-old who makes his first handicap start from a mark of 90, having won a maiden at the 6th attempt 7 days ago on quick ground. Despite only 2 runs at 2 years old and 2 runs at 3 years old, his form ties in with some smart types, including 1.25 lengths behind the now-118 rated Ghostwriter as a juvenile (in receipt of 6 lbs) and 5.5 lengths behind the now-117 rated Lead Artist (running in the G1 Lockinge) on his first start as a 3-year-old. Pitched into the Group 3 Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot, he finished well down the field but wasn't seen again, suggesting not all was well, and connections clearly felt he had ability. Changed stables and gelded, he came on plenty from his reappearance to give weight away last time, and the pick of his form suggests to me that a mark of 90 could yet be lenient. The stable has had 2 winners from their last 3 runners - Dark Tornado being one of those - and he's turned out quickly, so clearly full of zest.

Death, taxes and Al Aasy winning his second start of the season. His record 2nd time after a break reads 1-1-1-1 showing he improves plenty for fitness, and he was good enough to win a Group 3 LTO. He has to concede 3lbs but at this trip he has a class edge on these rivals. Enjoys Newbury and quick ground too.

Continuous has to be respected given his liking for York and proven stamina, having won the St Leger, but recent form is a worry and I'm not sure he'll be able to dictate here even in first time cheekpieces. He gets 5lbs from Rebels Romance but that rival is consistently posting pieces of form which outstrip anything else in this field including his Breeders Cup win and 4th in the Sheema Classic last time. Although unproven at this trip he's a strong stayer at 12f and with the ground quick has every chance of staying the extra 2f and showing his class in this field.

Troia looks overpriced for me for a yard in form (24% last 14 days). Won a novice on quick ground on seasonal return without much fuss but was pitched into the Group 3 Oh So Sharp after just one start as a juvenile, which speaks volumes about the talent connections feel she has. She finished close behind Guineas 2nd Flight that day, having found herself towards the rear on ground which might have been softer than ideal (twice a non-runner on soft prior to that). Being by Kingman, the 8f trip should be ideal, and Ed Walker won this in 2021.

If there's a group horse in here, it's undoubtedly Thunder Run, who ran 6 times last year but really came into his own when adopting the positive tactics which saw him win a handicap here at the Ebor meeting, making all from a mark of 96. He ran really well on soft ground at Ascot on Champions Day, finishing 4th on ground that looked softer than ideal from the same mark as today (100). Disappointing on seasonal return when down the field in the Lincoln, but happy to forgive that effort - he was beaten first start last year by a horse now rated 77. A return to quick ground at York should suit, and after just 7 career starts, there's no reason to think he's reached his ceiling. New trip today, but bred to get the extra 2f, he looks a good win prospect.

Zain Blue has saved his best for York, finishing 2nd behind Battle Cry in his maiden (that rival a Group 3 winner since), then 5th and 1st in two handicaps over C&D, winning from a mark of 83 in first-time cheekpieces. Headgear left off for his reappearance but now goes back on and he's just 2 lbs higher than his win here in September. Up in grade but looks fairly weighted and well drawn (stall 8) with Thunder Run going forward from stall 4. Yard are in decent form having had a few winners in the last couple of weeks.

Romieu is thoroughly unexposed after just three career starts, two in France for Andre Fabre and then bolting up on his first start in the UK last time, albeit that was in novice company. Into handicap company here from a mark of 90 and whilst it's hard to be bullish over the form, he's going against plenty of more exposed types - none of which looks massively well handicapped. Stands on the inside mean stall 2 looks ideal to jump out and make all in a similar manner to LTO. He won't mind the quick ground and being related to some smart types could prove to be much better than this opening mark.

Shagraan has to shoulder top weight here, but he was really progressive as a 3-year-old last season, winning twice and placing (including extra places) a further four times in competitive handicaps. That saw his mark rise to 101, which was the same as his reappearance third when just 0.5L back on seasonal return and just 3lbs higher than when fifth here at the Ebor meeting on his only visit to York. He was the only one of the top six to race off the pace that day, meaning it can be massively upgraded. There's so much pace on offer here that there's the potential for a real burn-up, and his likely hold-up tactics can bear fruit. Now a 4-year-old, I think he can show himself to be a pattern performer at sprinting trips.

There's the potential for this to be an absolute burn-up, with the quick ground and the number who like to go forward - notably Night Raider, who has had one way of going since sprinting. I have reservations about Inisherin, who won a Commonwealth Cup while missing a number of the ante-post favorites, including Elite Status, who has looked a proper 6f horse throughout his career, winning a couple of good graded races early last season before being badly drawn in the Group 1 Haydock Sprint. Happy to forgive his Ascot effort at the end of the season on soft ground and suspect this is the time of year to catch him. Despite the trainer seemingly keen to talk up his stablemate Night Raider, I fancy Elite Status can claim this before a crack at the July Cup.

As you'd expect, this looks like a really competitive renewal, and cases can be made for plenty. But Commanche Falls looks well-weighted on previous exploits from a mark of 102. Without a win since winning a Listed race here in September 2023, he ran with credit last season, including 3rd in a C&D handicap at the Ebor meeting (had Two Tribes behind and 5lbs better terms today) and 6th in the Ayr Gold Cup, both from marks of 107. Tailed off on soft ground towards the autumn, and his best form has come with firm in the going description, so he should appreciate conditions today. Pace looks to come from stall 6, meaning stall 4 looks ideal, and although he's an 8yo, 8yos have actually won three of the last four runnings, so age seems just a number.

Qirat has gone up the weights for finishing 2nd in two competitive handicaps at the end of last season. Both came off proper soft ground, and I think a return to a quicker surface, as well as 7f, will suit him best. He won on reappearance last year and boasts plenty of Ascot form. All the pace looks high, but it should give him a good tow into the race from stall 9, and he can claim this from a mark of 99 before moving onto pattern company as a 4yo.

Reverts back to hurdles, having spent the last two seasons over fences, but he won at Chepstow two starts back before a really good 5th at the Aintree meeting last time. So this doesn't look like a desperate move but rather a well-thought-out plan. Finished 1st and 3rd on two starts over C&D (both chasing) but may yet have unfinished business over the smaller obstacles - still just a 7yo and in good form. A mark of 125 is the same as his winning chase mark two starts back, and he seems a better, stronger horse going back hurdling.

A mark of 132 is still 11lbs above his mark when winning the Betfair Hurdle back in 2022. Whilst he might be a 10yo, he's suited by these conditions and a big field. With his yard in flying form (37.5% last 14 days) and the prospect of first-time cheekpieces finding further improvement, he still looks well handicapped.

Grey Cuban is 9lbs higher himself having won since at Doncaster but had excuses on his final start, beaten 50L when clearly out of sorts, and his reappearance on the AW was never going to show his best. Yard love to have winners at their local track and he still looks well handicapped here and in these conditions.

Looking through the field, I think there are plenty of doubts, with most of the field seemingly preferring a softer surface. The Foxes is too inconsistent to trust, and Space Legend is starting to look a little soft in a fight. Although his form is strong, I fancy he might always find one too good. That 'one' could be Deepone for Paddy Twomey, who has his horses in rare form with 8 of his last 10 having finished 1st or 2nd, including one unseat. Deepone has to overcome a long absence but won't be traveling across the Irish Sea for a warm-up, and I'm happy to forgive his one run as a 3yo, which came on heavy ground, and his best form is on a quicker surface. Won a Group 2 over 8f as a juvenile, so stamina doesn't feel like an issue over 10f, and he had two subsequent Group 3 winners in behind that day. Has been off the track for almost 400 days but will love the conditions, has the class for this assignment, and the stable is firing. Overpriced at 11/1.

There's a worry the strong pace will set things up for Absurde who also won well here on his only previous start when needing a victory to qualify for the Melbourne Cup.

No horse has won this from higher than stall 4 since 2011, and those ridden prominently go well. Fair Taxes would also have chances, but stable form is a concern.

Has moved to Charlie Hills since and went really well on reappearance when 2nd from a mark of 88 at Newmarket. The 3rd that day won a handicap cosily from the same mark next time, and stall 2 gives him every chance of gaining a prominent position which has so often been a golden highway here at Chester. Will Buick takes the ride having secured a Guineas double over the weekend so will be full of confidence.

The market principals might have too much class for this field but time and again we see top quality horses beaten first time up as they run too keen or lack match sharpness. Of those with a prep, Remaat catches the eye having finished strongly over 7f on seasonal reappearance in the Nell Gwyn. Outpaced on debut, she has improved the further she's gone and the step up to 8f should suit, as will the quicker ground having won her maiden here on good to firm. I suspect after the 2000 Guineas we might see a strongly run 1000 and she can pick up some of the pieces with race fitness assured.

Not many have had a prep in this field, but Field Of Gold couldn't have been more impressive in his, bolting up over C&D last month. Soft ground and travel were both excuses for his only disappointment at Longchamp last autumn, where he still finished 4th in a Group 1 juvenile, and he's 2 from 2 at the track, so clearly handles the undulations.

The drop back in trip shouldn't hinder Fact To File's chances of claiming another Grade 1. Always looked a speedy type, and the form of his Ryanair looks stronger than that of the Queen Mother, which saw Quillixios and Liberty Hunter both fall when in contention.

Chasing appears to have been shelved, and Hunters Yarn reverts back to hurdles from a mark of 140. Showed plenty as a novice hurdler to suggest he's well handicapped from that mark, including winning a Listed hurdle beating Imagine by 6L and finishing a close 2nd in a Grade 2 novice at Fairyhouse behind Hurcule De Seuil, who has been chasing since and rated 149. Looks loads of pace on, which should suit his running style, and Mullins has won 4 of the last 6 runnings, three of them at double-figure prices.

Has a decent record over these fences, finishing 3rd in 2022 and then 6th over C&D in a stronger contest. Unseated last year when travelling well 5 out and although behind some of these in a point last time, a return to Punchestown can see him bounce back to form.

A good run on debut to finish 2nd behind a promising rival. He's closely related to an AW winner so expected to take well to this surface and can get his nose in front here.

Seems to go best fresh, with his record following a break of at least 150 days reading 1-1-4-1. Reappearance win last year was his only victory but came from a mark of 77, and he's 3 lbs lower today. Draw looks ideal (stall 2), and today may be the time to catch him.
