Wokingham Stakes (Heritage Handicap)

Placed when beaten a neck in a Listed race at Salisbury 28 days ago, Spy Chief is winless in his last five starts but that runner-up effort brings him close to his best; he handles today's trip and ground, though 7f could test his stamina, and he's run well at this track before.

Consistent profile here, with that Salisbury Listed third last time arguably flattering the bare figures given traffic issues — yet still carrying 137 lb off a mark of 107 leaves little room for manoeuvre, even if there's improvement to come at this trip on suitable ground.

Scored narrowly in a Sprint Handicap at this mark three starts back before a poor latest effort, and first-time headgear plus a trainer in form add appeal — but 84 days off and a mark that may stretch him keep this a tentative each-way proposition at best.

Back-to-back wins — the latest a comfortable success at Newmarket off a mark 10lb lower than today's — mark Double Rush as the one to beat here, and a top course handler takes the reins on a horse still looking ahead of its current official rating despite the penalty.

Fitness must prove itself after 84 days away, with recent outings — including a poor effort in the Cammidge Trophy — leaving wellbeing in question; yet Mitbaahy is effective over this trip on any ground, and a bounceback to his placed form would make him a live midfield contender from stall 27.
