Betfred "The Classic Bookmaker" Handicap

Four-time 7f winner who was a close third of 28 in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm) when wearing a first-time tongue-tie; fourth in the Bunbury Cup since (7f, good to firm); he could still have more to offer and is a possible player if conditions suit (unproven on slow ground).

He has an in-and-out profile and has never raced over a trip this short, but he was a clear second behind a well-handicapped winner in the Bunbury Cup in July (7f, good to firm) and ran pretty well when seventh of 17 at York (1m, good to firm) last time; also effective on good to soft; not ruled out.

Progressive filly who made it three wins for the year (1m/7f) when prevailing in a big field at York (7f, good to firm) last month; she hit the front over 1f out at York and a 5lb rise may not prevent her playing another leading role, provided the ground suits (unproven on a slow surface).

2yo Group 3 winner in 2023; with a new yard this season and there were encouraging signs in May; continues to drop down the weights but hasn't shone on his last two outings and has to raise his game.

He's run just once this year but that was a fairly encouraging performance when fifth of nine at Chepstow (7f, good to soft) last month; he could build on that and he's on a competitive mark on last season's best efforts over 6f and 7f; effective in big-field handicaps and not ruled out.
