Dubawi Time¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: N Callan| T: W J Knight| OR: 65| D

16/5

7/2, last of 9 in handicap at Ripon (9.8f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Shaped as though amiss on that occasion and, having ended last season on a high, this 4-y-o is well worth another chance.

Form: 25341-9

Platinum Prince^v²⁰²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-8| J: S Hitchcott| T: G & J Moore| OR: 64| C| D

16/1

Unreliable individual. Course winner. 10/1, creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) when last seen in October. Definite form claims if on-song/ready to roll but he ideally needs rain.

Form: 234124-

Imperial Cult⁵⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Joe Leavy⁽³⁾| T: R Cook & J Bridger| OR: 63| D

9/4

12/1, creditable sixth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (12f) 50 days ago. Just 2 lb higher compared to when opening his account on turf at Epsom last season and a case can be made.

Form: 1983-76

Joycean Way^p1³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: T P Queally| T: G & J Moore| OR: 62

11/1

15/2, seventh of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 34 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time and hopes very pinned on the new headgear working the oracle here.

Form: 752/007

Aikhal^b,t⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Saffie Osborne| T: J A Osborne| OR: 59| D

2/1

Twenty-five runs since last win in 2022. Eighth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (12f, 10/1) 6 days ago. Bit to prove at present.

Form: 708648

Twilight Guest^p¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-5| J: Jack Doughty⁽³⁾| T: G G Margarson| OR: 47

15/2

Remains a maiden after 28 Flat runs. Creditable third of 8 in handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to firm, 33/1) 13 days ago, not ideally placed. May again find one or two too good but more place money is a real possibility.

Aikhal (2/1), Imperial Cult (9/4), Dubawi Time (16/5), Twilight Guest (15/2), English Spirit (8/1), Joycean Way (11/1), Platinum Prince (16/1)

Lots of ifs and buts to consider. In the context of DUBAWI TIME the primary doubt is well-being on account of his recent reappearance capitulation at Ripon, but the fact that he's turning out again just 18 days later would suggest that all is well. A reproduction of something close to his peak 2024 form would likely suffice in this contest. The one who may prove most troublesome is Imperial Cult, who is clearly at home on sharp, left-hand tracks. Twilight Guest could also have a part to play.
