25/1

Seventh of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 16/1), slowly away. Off 6 months and has plenty to prove on his return.

Lord Neidin²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: M Dwyer| T: A King| OR: 88| D

9/2

Latest win at Pontefract in June. 12/1, creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 21 days ago, needing stronger gallop, so well in the mix here.

Form: 24-6714

Hieronymus^p²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: H Crouch| T: George Baker| OR: 87| D

8/1

Very good second of 17 in handicap (20/1) at Goodwood (7f, good to soft) 22 days ago, doing too much too soon and caught final strides. Expected to be bang there despite 2 lb rise.

Form: 130-472

12/1

First run since leaving Jean-Claude Rouget when eighth of 16 in handicap at Galway (8.3f, good to firm, 25/1) on IRE debut 19 days ago. Needs to step forward now.

Forecasts

Paxos (11/4), Via Serendipity (4/1), Lord Neidin (9/2), Delgrey Boy (15/2), Hieronymus (8/1), Gin Palace (11/1), Rosmana (12/1), Currency Exchange (16/1), Fox Premier (25/1), Greek Kodiac (25/1)

HIERONYMUS has yet to add to his 2 wins in 2020 but signalled he's ready to go in again when an excellent second at Goodwood last month, collared only close home. Lord Neidin also arrives in great nick and looks the one to give him most to do with Paxos also weighted to go close in a very open handicap.
