Change Signs looks an interesting contender in this sprint. While he has only had one go over 5F in 2024 - finishing down the field - it's worth noting he was very keen that day and likely did too much early. His latest run over 6F here was a much stronger effort, just touched off by Circe, going down a short head after leading and only being collared late. Importantly, he pulled nearly 5 lengths clear of the third, suggesting that was solid form. This is further backed up with Circe finishing a decent 5th at Epsom. Before that, he ran a creditable 6th in a competitive York handicap, and earlier in the year he finished a good 3rd behind Habooba at Kempton. That form has worked out nicely, with Habooba going on to win a decent handicap at York and Epsom 5F winner in behind that day (JM Jungle). He is fairly consistent overall and doesn't seem ground dependent. With dry conditions forecast, the going should suit. Drawn in stall 9, which isn't ideal on paper, but he showed good gate speed from stall 13 last time, so that shouldn't be a major concern if he breaks well again.
