Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: Callum Hutchinson⁽⁵⁾| T: A M Balding| OR: 107| DWS

14/1

Seven wins from 22 Flat runs. Excellent fourth of 15 in handicap at York (11.8f, good to firm, 15/2), well positioned. Off 9 months (had a wind op) and inflated mark needs little margin for error.

Greatgadian²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Ray Dawson| T: R Varian| OR: 98| CD

5/4

Big career best when winning 5-runner handicap at this C&D 21 days ago, driven out. 6 lb rise looks fair for that clear-cut win.

Peter The Great^p1²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 95| BF| D

13/8

Good second of 5 in handicap (8/11) at Newcastle (10.2f) 20 days ago. Makes polytrack debut and cheekpieces on for top yard with scope to rate higher yet.

Form: 1215-62

Arthur's Realm²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: Marco Ghiani| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 89| C

9/2

Two wins from 4 runs this year. Career best when winning 6-runner handicap at this course (8f, 6/1) 28 days ago. Back up in trip and this is a much better race but he's clearly thriving.

Form: 36-6131

Forecasts

Greatgadian (5/4), Peter The Great (13/8), Arthur's Realm (9/2), Johnny Drama (14/1)

There's still an air of unfinished business around PETER THE GREAT as a low-mileage 4-y-o for a top yard so he looks the way to go, for all a case can be made for the quartet, particularly Greatgadian.
