Very competitive but JOYCEAN WAY went close in similar contests earlier in the season and should have no issues with conditions. He’s taken to get off the mark back down in grade, while Kessaar Power was in top form when last seen and has won off a break previously. Of the rest, Johnjay holds solid claims returning to the scene of his last win, while Strobelight could well find improvement now handicapping for his shrewd connections. James Park Woods and Bear To Dream both ran well on Saturday

Could Be The Move didn’t help her chances by hanging when only 1/2 length behind Arvana Belle last time and the addition of the visor can help, while the remainder all have a chance if recapturing their best.

LEADING COURSE TRAINER (20-25): G Boughey (19 wins from 66 runners, 29%) runs KRANJCAR TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): G Boughey (8 wins from 33 runners, 24%) runs KRANJCAR
LONGEST TRAVELLER: SILENT FLAME trained by R Millman, Cullompton, 163 miles.
Dual course winner KRANJCAR is in tremendous form having landed a double at Lingfield just 7 days ago and he may be able to defy another penalty to land the hat-trick under a good-value apprentice. Silent Flame has been consistent with two recent runner-up finishes and could be a serious danger given her proven form on easier ground, while Blue Collar Lad and Rockstar Icon can fight it out for minor honours.

The losing run DANGER ALERT is on is a pretty lengthy one, but he has come down the weights accordingly and signalled that his turn may well be near when finding just one too good at Epsom three weeks ago. Court of Session could be the one to follow him home, with Havana Gila best of the rest.

LEADING COURSE TRAINER (20-25): J Gallagher (22 wins from 143 runners, 15%) runs DREAMBIRD DOLLY AND SECRET HANDSHEIKH TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): J S Moore (3 wins from 19 runners, 16%) runs CALL TIME FANCY THAT: J Gallagher won this race in 2023 and 2024. The stable runs DREAMBIRD DOLLY and SECRET HANDSHEIKH today. LONGEST TRAVELLER: ROGUE ENDEAVOUR trained by G Harris, Shirenewton, 176 miles.
Though 2025 hasn’t been particularly kind to JACQUELINA to this point, she has been given a real chance by the handicapper and is worth chancing here with a first-time tongue strap enlisted. The hat-trick seeking Barnsnape Boy has to be feared in current form, while Dreambird Dolly, who was third to Jim Boyle’s charge over C&D recently and renews rivalry on appreciably better terms, also enters calculations. Call Time and Secret Handsheikh will both have claims, too, if going to post.
