TIMEFORM VIEW Dual winner over 7f on the July Course at Newmarket last summer Even better form in defeat at listed/ Group 2 level this year but will require a really smart effort to defy top weight here.

Edward Bethell, Middleham T

TIMEFORMVIEWDrew a blank in 4 starts at 2 but has very much hit the ground running on return, winning handicaps at Ripon and over C&D Useful performance when coming from further back than ideal to lead late on here latterly Even a further 7lb rise is unlikely to prevent him making bold bid for the hat-trick.

TIMEFORMVIEWLooked useful prospect when winning novice at Ascot (7f firm) on debut last summer Wasn’t able to build on that at Group 3 level in 2 subsequent starts, although heavy ground a possible excuse at Newbury latterly Retains potential now handicapping on return. Has been gelded.

TIMEFORM VIEW Opened his account on 1m Kempton reappearance in March Got stuck in the mud at Nottingham next time and back on the up when second of 11 at Newmarket (1m, good) last weekend.That looks solid form and he merits plenty of respect for a stable with a good recent record in this.

PLAY SMARTER

An opening mark of 90 could easily underestimate the very promising COVEY who can add to his 2 easy wins in maiden/novice company this spring. Clive Cox has won this race twice since 2018 and Just Bring It may provide the chief threat on the back of his fine second at Newmarket last weekend. James McHenry, a good winner over C&D a fortnight ago and the unexposed Royal Cape complete the shortlist.
