LEADING COURSE TRAINER (17-22): E J-Houghton (23 wins from 147 runners, 16%) runs THE PRINCES POET

TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): G L Moore (13 wins from 47 runners, 28%) runs BIG BARD

WEIGHTWATCHER: THE COLA KID won off a handicap mark of 65, his rating is now down 13lb to 52.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: KYBER CRYSTAL trained by Alexandra Dunn, Wellington, 144 miles.

CONNIE’S ROSE made an encouraging seasonal reappearance at Bath earlier this month and is entitled to come on for that, she could be the answer. Provided she takes to turf, dual all-weather scorer Hannah’s Return will be a live danger, while The Princes Poet performed well on his return both last year and in 2021, and he is likely to be in the mix, too. Another for the shortlist is Big Bard, who has slipped to a dangerous mark.

LEADING COURSE TRAINER (17-22): P Evans (12 wins from 155 runners, 8%) runs LEVEL UP & SO SMART TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): P Evans (4 wins from 21 runners, 19%) runs LEVEL UP & SO SMART WEIGHTWATCHER: SPOOF won off a handicap mark of 85, his rating is now down 5lb to 80.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: SPOOF trained by K Frost, Newark, 137 miles.

The vote goes to SPOOF, who looked unlucky when going down narrowly at Yarmouth where he was denied a clear run at a crucial stage. He has clearly resumed in good order (also went close on his seasonal reappearance at Doncaster) and remains on a handy mark. So Smart, who was just ahead of the selection when second in the aforementioned Yarmouth handicap, is feared most ahead of stablemate Level Up 1-2-3: 1.SPOOF 2.SO SMART (IRE) 3.LEVEL UP (IRE)
