Goring^v⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Tom Marquand| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 102| C

7/2

Rattled off a handicap four timer here over a mile during the winter and kept on last time when second at Wolverhampton over extended 9f. May stay but will have to run a personal best to score in this company.

Form: 300062

Scarlet Dragon^h¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: M Harley| T: A King| OR: 108| D

9/4

Decent performer who finished third in Newbury Group 3 over 12f this autumn then faded inside distance over this C&D in listed event last time. Ideally suited by further but should make a race of it.

Form: 20-3034

Toast Of New York³³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: A Kirby| T: J A Osborne| OR: 110| CD

7/4

Smart performer. Beaten just a nose in 2014 Breeders' Cup Classic. Returned from 3-year absence to win this event 12 months ago. Didn't stay 1m6f at Churchill Downs last time but has conditions to suit and has leading chance here.

Form: 22/1-024

North Face^t1⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: L Morris| T: M Botti| OR: 100

14/1

Won Navan mile maiden for Aidan O'Brien on debut in September then second in Cork listed event before disappointing at Leopardstown in October. Makes first start for new connections. Unexposed but more needed in first time tongue-tie.

Form: 126

Mango Tango²²³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Edward Greatrex| T: A Watson| OR: 99| D

13/2

6-19 so far racing mainly in Abu Dhabi. Hard to equate the form but should stay and may press for a place if one or two rivals underperform. Represents new yard that has enjoyed a superb year.

Forecasts

Toast Of New York (7/4), Scarlet Dragon (9/4), Goring (7/2), Mango Tango (13/2), North Face (14/1), Dragon Mall (25/1)

Assuming that the admirable TOAST OF NEW YORK has recovered from his US exertions he should have too much class for his rivals in a race he won so well 12 months ago. Scarlet Dragon may prove the biggest danger, although both Goring and the unexposed ex-Aidan O'Brien-trained North Face are interesting and are capable performers.
