200/1

Fairly useful gelding. Didn't need to be at best when winning 8-runner maiden (1/3) at this C&D (good) 14 days ago, slowly away. Very hard to make a case for.

Form: 6/226-21

Smart mare. 86/10, good 1¼ lengths second of 8 to India in Preis von Europa at Cologne (11.9f, good to soft), battling well. Off 131 days. Has to be taken seriously.

Forecasts

New London (4/6), Trevaunance (4/1), Warren Point (9/2), Erzindjan (12/1), Solid Stone (18/1), Sean (22/1), Western Writer (66/1), Mount Tambora (200/1)

NEW LONDON couldn't quite match his 2022 form last season but can get back on track having been gelded. Trevaunance boasts arguably the strongest recent form and can push him close, while Warren Point also merits respect.
