Vintage Clarets landed this prize in 2023 and is interesting once again following a creditable fifth in the Dash at Epsom, but it is last year's victor BERGERAC who gets the nod. On target at Hamilton earlier this month, Kevin Ryan's charge is 1lb well-in under the penalty. That leaves him 3lb higher than when landing the corresponding event 12 months ago, but he remains competitively treated nonetheless. Jakajaro is an infrequent winner in truth, but he continues to edge down the weights and is drawn well. |
BADRI could be the solution to a trappy affair. Micheal Herrington's veteran arrives in decent shape with a good third of eleven in a class 2 handicap last time back on turf. His last five efforts have been at 6f and he hasn't been seeing the trip out, before that he was a narrow loser over course and distance off the same mark as today and having rated higher in the past there's every chance of slightly improved effort having rediscovered some sparkle. Bergerac, another seasoned campaigner to arrive in rude health looks a massive danger given his penchant for this track (two of his eight career wins have come over CD) and could go close, while Prince Of Pillo is interesting dropped back to 5f, which should suit granted a decent pace to aim at which looks likely, and could reward each way support |

Vintage Clarets landed this prize in 2023 and is interesting once again following a creditable fifth in the Dash at Epsom, but it is last year's victor BERGERAC who gets the nod. On target at Hamilton earlier this month, Kevin Ryan's charge is 1lb well-in under the penalty. That leaves him 3lb higher than when landing the corresponding event 12 months ago, but he remains competitively treated nonetheless. Jakajaro is an infrequent winner in truth, but he continues to edge down the weights and is drawn well. |
BADRI could be the solution to a trappy affair. Micheal Herrington's veteran arrives in decent shape with a good third of eleven in a class 2 handicap last time back on turf. His last five efforts have been at 6f and he hasn't been seeing the trip out, before that he was a narrow loser over course and distance off the same mark as today and having rated higher in the past there's every chance of slightly improved effort having rediscovered some sparkle. Bergerac, another seasoned campaigner to arrive in rude health looks a massive danger given his penchant for this track (two of his eight career wins have come over CD) and could go close, while Prince Of Pillo is interesting dropped back to 5f, which should suit granted a decent pace to aim at which looks likely, and could reward each way support |

Below par beaten 5l in a handicap at Southwell last time; goes well here (all three career wins here, two over CD); off a short-break; much tougher up in class but not out of it |
