Annaf¹²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan| T: M Appleby| OR: 110| CD

2/1

Edged out Diligent Harry in this last year and somewhat belatedly showed he's equally as effective on turf with wins in the Portland at Doncaster and Group 3 Bengough at Ascot in the autumn. His penalty is unlikely to prevent him making a bold bid to defend his crown.

Willem Twee⁷⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Oisin Murphy| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 106| CD

10/3

Smart gelding who took it up another notched when landing a 6f C&D listed under Oisin Murphy in November. Looks a Group-race sprinter in the making. Player.

15/2

Has recorded smart performances when winning handicaps here (7f) and Newcastle (6f) this winter. Caught too far back when fifth of 6 at Kempton latest and treated as if still in form.

Diligent Harry¹⁴⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: R L Moore| T: C G Cox| OR: 108| CD

7/4

C&D winner (also second to Annaf in this last year) who underlined his effectiveness on AW when winning a valuable 6f event at Newcastle last Easter. Ended his 2023 campaign with a creditable fourth in 6f York listed in September. Should go well from the inside stall.

Summerghand^v³⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 9-2| J: Hollie Doyle| T: D O'Meara| OR: 97| CD

22/1

C&D listed winner who added to his impressive career haul when dead-heating in valuable 6f handicap at York's Ebor meeting last year. Respectable fourth at Kempton in December and race not run to suit at Newcastle latest.

The X O²²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: J Mitchell| T: J Ryan| OR: 104| D

40/1

Dual AW winner who posted a useful effort when second in 6f Ascot Group 3 last May. However, he finished down the field in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot the following month and hasn't been seen since.

Forecasts

Diligent Harry (7/4), Annaf (2/1), Willem Twee (10/3), Coachello (15/2), Summerghand (22/1), Clearpoint (25/1), The X O (40/1)

DILIGENT HARRY was narrowly denied by Annaf in this 12 months ago but meets Mick Appleby's charge on 5 lb better terms this time and, from a good draw, might be able to turn the tables with Ryan Moore taking the reins on him for the first time. The progressive William Twee is another who should play a prominent role in a good renewal of this listed prize.
