Verdict

A trappy small-field staying handicap with class-dropping ADJUVANT given the tentative vote from a reduced mark now encountering forecast softer ground for the first time this term. King's Castle has made a bright start for David Simcock and he's worth a look having not been seen to best effect at Sandown last time. Burj Zabeel and Kuredu King complete the shortlist.

Verdict
Winless since 2023 and having resumed from 10 months off with a good fifth at Goodwood (12f) in August, he was unable to land a telling blow when tenth in last month's Old Borough Cup at Haydock (14f). Eased 2 lb ahead of this less demanding assignment which can only help. Player.

Verdict
Opened his account at Haydock (11.8f) in June and similar form on 2 of his 3 runs since, able to dictate a modest pace in first-time cheekpieces when fifth of 9 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, firm, 22/1) 35 days ago. Further increase in trip may unlock some progress now eased in grade.

Verdict
Unreliable sort. Fourteen runs since last win in 2024. Fifth of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (13f, AW, 3/1) 15 days ago. Others make greater appeal.

Verdict
Fairly useful gelding who hasn't progressed this year but not far off his best when second of 7 in novice at Ffos Las (12f, good, 11/2) 21 days ago, clear of rest. Return to handicaps rates a likely plus but he does need to conclusively prove his stamina for this far.

Verdict
All the better for his reappearance/stable debut when landing back-to-back handicaps at Ffos Las/Sandown and shaped well when third of 6 in handicap (5/4) at Epsom (12f, good to soft) 49 days ago, left poorly placed in a sprint finish. Interesting back up in trip.

Verdict
Advanced his form in first-time blinkers when bagging 7-runner handicap at Haydock (11.6f) in July. Far from disgraced in follow-up bid when fifth of 7 in handicap (4/1) at Ascot (12f, good to firm) 54 days ago and interesting now connections for a further step up in trip.
