Budds Horseracing Memorabilia Handicap Stakes (GBBPlus Race)

Masterinthewoods has been a model of consistency, posting seconds three starts back, two starts back, and last time out before that latest disappointing eighth, though bouncing back to his best would make him a serious threat at 140 lb.

A placed effort followed by a win last time out give King of Berkshire strong recent momentum, and with experience over today's trip and going, conditions suit; fit off a ten-day break and carrying 138 lb, he appeals as a solid each-way proposition.

First Officer has been a model of consistency, finishing second three times in his last five starts, and he has experience of today's trip and conditions — our rating of 86 suggests he's well ahead of his official mark, making the weight of 136 lb the chief concern.

Pulled up last time out and winless in his last five starts, Double Meaning is hard to fancy from a rating of 77 ranked seventh of nine; he has run over today's trip and going, but a return to form is needed before he can be seriously considered here.

Charles Darnay arrives on the back of back-to-back wins, but that run of form must be weighed against a lengthy 115-day absence, a demanding 135 lb burden, and a rating that places him second-bottom on our figures.
