Galeron³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: R Havlin| T: C Hills| OR: 96| D

12/1

It's now 23 runs since his last win in 2022 and he came in last of 21 in handicap at Ascot (7f, good to firm) 35 days ago. Others appeal more.

Form: 0-50070

Tarkhan²³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Saffie Osborne| T: J A Osborne| OR: 95| D

10/1

Got back on track when fourth of 9 in handicap at Chepstow (7.1f, good) 23 days ago. Can give a good account in his bid for a first victory of 2025.

Form: 3-90004

Kodi Lion²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: W Buick| T: M Appleby| OR: 92| BF| D

5/2

Improved for current yard this season, landing 6f Haydock handicap in May. Conceded first run when an excellent second of 9 in similar company there three weeks ago so he merits serious consideration with William Buick up.

Form: 221452

Ellaria Sand⁹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Oisin Murphy| T: Ollie Sangster| OR: 95| D

12/1

Yet to fire in a trio of runs this term, cheekpieces tried when eighth of 9 in German 1000 Guineas at Dusseldorf (8f, soft) in May. Needs this switch to handicaps to spark improvement.

Form: 951-498

(9)

God Of War²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: D Egan| T: Tom Clover| OR: 93| D

11/1

Arrives in decent nick without winning, fourth of 10 in handicap at Haydock (8.2f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Possibilities.

Form: 57-2054

(15)

Metabolt²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Rossa Ryan| T: D Loughnane| OR: 86| D

16/1

A dual 7f/1m scorer in 2024. Off 12 months but not disgraced when sixth of 9 in handicap at Haydock (7.2f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Weighted to go well off a 2 lb lower mark here.

Form: 41190-6

(8)

Headmaster²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 87| BF| D

3/1

Got off the mark at Haydock in July and best forgiven his last of 16 on his handicap bow at Goodwood (7f, good) 28 days ago as he looked ill at ease on the track. Remains with potential for leading yard.

Form: 2210

(3)

Kindest Nation^v²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: C Lee| T: H Palmer| OR: 82| D

33/1

Comes here well below par, last of 7 in handicap at Chester (7f, firm) 27 days ago when losing all chance at the start. Needs to take a major step forward.

Form: 6-30007

(7)

Glenfinnan⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 82| CD

10/1

Took this 12 months ago and he posted a respectable seventh of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 12/1) 9 days ago. Merits consideration in his follow-up bid.

Form: 009007

(5)

Yokkell²³

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: A Wintle| OR: 80

66/1

A fair 1m scorer this spring for Kevin Philippart De Foy but below par since, though she didn't enjoy a clear run on her yard debut when ninth of 13 in handicap at Chepstow (8.1f, good) 23 days ago. Still has it to prove here though.

Form: 2-14079

(2)

Woroodd¹⁰⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: K Shoemark| T: E Walker| OR: 85| D

7/1

Progressive Dark Angel filly who went 2-3 in 6-runner novice at Haydock (7f, good to firm) in May, always holding on. Goes into handicaps with more to offer so needs considering.

Form: 311

Forecasts

Kodi Lion (5/2), Headmaster (3/1), Woroodd (7/1), Tarkhan (10/1), Glenfinnan (10/1), God Of War (11/1), Ellaria Sand (12/1), Galeron (12/1), Angel Hunter (14/1), Walson's Law (14/1), Metabolt (16/1), Cavolo Nero (16/1), Arctic Grey (25/1), Kindest Nation (33/1), Yokkell (66/1)

This is wide open but it could pay to side with KODI LION who wasn't seen to ideal effect when an excellent runner-up at Haydock last time and can resume winning ways nudged up just 1 lb with William Buick now up. William Haggas' unexposed Headmaster looked ill at ease on the track on his handicap debut at Goodwood last time and could emerge as the main danger, while last year's victor Glenfinnan and the handily-weighted Metabolt are others who can have a say. Woroodd completes the shortlist.
