Runners Spotlight

NR
Never So Brave
Favorite

Drawn wide today and below par last October on final run for Sir Michael Stoute, but gelded since and showed strong form otherwise last season, including when winning over C&D (good) 12 months ago; new trainer has won three of the last ten runnings, including in 2021 and 2022; on the shortlist.

Jockey: NON-RUNNERTrainer: Andrew Balding
1
Tarkhan

Previously trained in Germany, where he won a Listed race last October (6.5f, soft), and he was a close third in an Italian Group 2 next time (1m, heavy); those were career-best efforts from this 6yo but he has a very lofty mark to defy on this British and stable debut; may be best watched.

Jockey: Saffie OsborneTrainer: Jamie Osborne
3
Gorak

Losing run goes back 14 races to May 2023 but he reappeared with a close second at Haydock (7f, good) a fortnight ago and ran really well over this C&D (good) last August; every chance he'll be bang there.

Jockey: Callum ShepherdTrainer: Charlie Fellowes
4
Two Tempting

Made it five wins for 2024 when scoring over C&D (good) last August on sole previous course visit; returned to form with creditable fourth at Newbury (1m, good) four weeks ago and he has a big shout from stall 1.

Jockey: Rob HornbyTrainer: Jonathan Portman
5
Divine Libra

Two-time course winner, the latest at this meeting 12 months ago, and good second from wide draw over C&D (good) last August; denied clear run when close sixth on recent reappearance at Haydock; today's draw could have been better but Ryan Moore rides and he's respected nevertheless.
