This is another ex-Sir Michael Stoute horse who liked to bring his horses along slowly, so we can expect him to improve again for the switch to the red-hot Andrew Balding yard. The Chester 2nd on his 2nd start was over too short a trip and was still an excellent effort given that the winner has since gone close to winning off 94. WL races here off 83 with Oisin Murphy on board for the first time. He's well-bred, and his last race as a 2yo was impressive when going away at the finish.

The first two in this race last year raced prominently from their high draws, and I'm hoping they adopt a 'point and shoot' tactic on this one. The horse races off a basement mark of 44 here on debut for a new stable with a 10lb claiming jockey booked. A deeper dive into the jockey's performance shows that she's actually been doing okay considering her handful of rides have been at huge odds. She was placed for this trainer at 25/1 just two starts ago, and this horse was placed here last year on his only previous run at the course. He was racing off 49 there and would've been winning at this trip before going down by less than a length over 2 furlongs further. Clearly, that run would suggest he could surprise here if the jockey employs similar tactics and gets this one racing front rank from the start.

This horse had a wind operation and 2 years off but traveled well in his first chase since his return when winning off a 2lb lower mark last time out. That was the first time the excellent Jack Tudor had ridden the horse, and the horse clearly loves this better ground. It's a very similar trip and ground conditions here, and I don't see why the horse can't go close here. His 5 career chases on similar flat tracks have yielded 2 wins and 2 seconds from 5 chases, and these look to be his optimal conditions. He also looks better handicapped now than many of those ahead of him in the market.

This ex-John Gosden horse hasn't shown anything in 3 starts for his new trainer, but is 3lb lower now. It's very interesting that the new trainer now books his top 5lb claiming Apprentice for the ride for the first time. Less than a year ago, the horse was beaten just 2 lengths in a very similar race at Newmarket off a 5lb higher mark. A repeat of that level of form would be good enough for him to be right in the mix here. It doesn't look the form of a 33/1 outsider at all, so he looks worthy of e/w interest.

This horse's 2nd over C&D is the piece of form which makes her of real interest here. The regular stable jockey takes over now, and he has a great record at this course. The subsequent runs of the winner and the well-beaten 5th, in particular, give this horse a huge chance, and that obvious liking for the course is a huge positive around here.

This horse cost nearly twice as much as the favorite (Wondering Why) here, and the trainer is one that I particularly like in Bumpers. This season, for example, he's won with 4 of his 14 runners in this sphere, and this French-bred looks a real contender on breeding since he's closely related to some decent types. The booking of Freddie Mitchell to take another 3lb off is another positive.

The first-time blinkers did the trick for this one last time out, and this bottom weight can make it back-to-back wins for his in-form trainer and jockey. The jockey is now 3 from 7 on the horse, and it's fairly evident that trips just beyond 3 miles on soft ground are this horse's forte. He's up 4lb for that win but has won off a higher mark in the past, and he looks sure to run his race. So, 13/2 for a first 3 finish in this 10-runner race looks highly likely.
