Raceform Median Time: 1 min 30.50 secs

Blinkers worn by No 1. Visor worn by No 9. Tongue Strap worn by No 3. Sheepskin Cheek Pieces worn by No 6, 8.

Stewards Note: MABRE: Following its run on 12/4/2023 it was reported that the horse would prefer quicker ground.

PULL THE LEVER: Following its run on 13/7/2022 it was reported that the horse was slowly away

EPEIUS: Following its run on 13/1/2023 it was reported that the horse ran flat

Betting Forecast: 10-3 Mabre (IRE), 9-2 Suzi’s Connoisseur (GB), 5-1 King of Speed (IRE), 7-1 Nubough (IRE), Voodoo Ray (IRE), 10-1 Beau Jardine (IRE), 22-1 Fieldsman (USA), 28-1 Pull The Lever (IRE), Epeius (IRE)

Race Summary: MABRE clearly wasn’t 100% at Nottingham, but the market expected a big run from him and his form prior to that outing sets a clear standard here. Beau Jardine shaped well over 6f last time and holds solid place claims, with the returning King of Speed another to note.
