The Godolphin/Appleby 3yo's last five runs have all been in Group 1s & will surely appreciate this drop down to a Group 2. I would expect the Champion 2yo to get back to winning ways over this 7f.

Jim Goldie has won 2 of the last 3 runnings of this race & that's where my attention is drawn. As well as the hat-trick seeking bottom weight Eternal Sunshine, he also runs the veteran Jordan Electrics & that's where my pin has gone. The 9yo has been running much better throughout August than his form figures suggest & his 5th in a blanket finish at the Ebor meeting looks good form, especially as he's been dropped 1lb.

Andrew Balding's juvenile is following the same path as the yard's Chaldean, winner of this in 2022 prior to his Dewhurst win, and who, like Gewan, had previously won the Acomb at the York Ebor meeting. He's the only Group winner in the field and has a strong favourite's chance.

For a mare trained by Gordon Elliott contesting her first handicap hurdle, Cookes Lass must surely be overpriced. She had valid excuses for a poor run at Bellewstown last time (trip, first run after a fall). Her three runs previously over more suitable distances give her every chance here.

Sir Mark Prescott's 2yo has been touted as a Fillies' Mile prospect, and if that's the case, she should be capable of winning a May Hill. This track will suit her better than Goodwood, and her father, Cracksman, went well on the soft.

I regard Jerome Reynier's 4yo as possibly the best sprinter in Europe. Flexible as regards going, he was too fresh when beaten at Deauville 27 days ago. If at his best he's the one to beat.

Donald McCain has three entered in this race, and I'm going to take a chance with the biggest price of the trio. His third 5 days ago at Worcester was his first run since December 2022, and at his best, he's better than a Class 5 handicapper.

If the dead 8 runners remain, I cannot see, with an accident-free round of jumping, Jennie Candlish's 7yo being out of the frame. All he does is stay, so this trip should be right up his street, and he ran well over fences here in April.

Surprisingly, with all the rain about, Fergal O'Brien's well-handicapped 8yo has his favoured good ground. Had a right touch with this in April 2024 at Huntingdon, the last time he won, from a 3lb higher mark than he has today. Will find this race a lot easier than Market Rasen's Cl2 Summer H'cap Hurdle when last seen over hurdles. Has run twice over staying trips on the flat, which looked to me like fact-finding missions to see whether he'd stay this 2m4f over hurdles. On the minus side, he's half the price I was hoping for, so half the bet.

I've held on until this morning before backing Liz Doyle's 8yo in case of heavy rain, but the going is good/yielding with a dry, breezy day forecast. Also, the messages are mixed regarding breeding at this trip, but he wasn't stopping 12 days ago at Tramore over half a mile shorter on his chasing debut. So, I'm hopeful rather than confident. What I am sure of is how well he jumped the first time over fences, and with improvement expected, he could be the value in the race.

But for a mistake at the last at Ballinrobe last month, I believe Ross O'Sullivan's 5yo would've gone very close. It was well supported that day in a better race than this and has been dropped 2lb. Must be worth a bet.

Normally, you would avoid one who's gone up 13 lb in two runs for not winning like the plague, but there are reasons to think Charlie Johnstone's progressive 3yo may still have enough to gain a much-deserved success here. That age group has a particularly good record in this race, and the race in which he got collared late on at Goodwood is working out well.

Henry De Bromhead's mare has been running consistently well in her three runs this summer. I don't think she quite got home in the Galway Blazers at the start of the month. This drop in trip and sharper track can only help the 7-year-old, and I make her a strong each-way bet.

Willie Mullins quite often runs one at Royal Ascot before a tilt at the Ebor. Absurde, for instance, two years ago. The way Ethical Diamond won the Duke Of Edinburgh h'cap there, I will not look elsewhere.

If the William Haggas 4yo turns up after his snug victory in the Clipper Handicap here on Thursday, the hint should be followed. Tom Marquand could barely pull him up, and reportedly a trip to Australia in November beckons.

If the tongue-tie / blinkers combination & new front-running tactics work as well as they did at Roscommon 17 days ago, John Flavin's 6yo will be hard to beat. I can't see much pace in the race & it's entirely possible Hit The Frame will get a solo out in front.

Much will depend on the start, as if Roger Varian's 4-year-old blows it like he did at Goodwood, his chance would be severely compromised. On several occasions last season, he looked listed or even Group class, and the trainer does like to target this race, having won it twice in the last ten years (including last year). 4-year-olds have an incredible record in this race, and seeing as there are only three entered here (including the 2nd favorite), there's room for a saver if that's your bag.

It's interesting that Dermot Weld, who won this in 2019 with a similar sort, has opted to go up in trip with his improving filly. 3-year-olds have such a good record in this, and that's where I've concentrated my options.

After having no luck at the Goodwood Festival & just failing to get up at Newbury on Saturday, David O'Meara's 5yo must be the bet here over a furlong more. He's shown he stays a mile in the past & is due to go up 5lb in the future. York & Newbury are similiar tracks & a reproduction of his run 5 days ago would be enough.

The Greenall/Guerriero 5yo could not have been more impressive at Southwell in June, winning by 13 lengths. That followed a fall 10 days previously on his chasing debut at Stratford. He was all the rage back at Stratford 8 days after his runaway win under a 7lb penalty but reportedly ran flat, with probably the races coming too soon. He's been freshened up with a 64-day break and looks the one in an open race.

Julie Camacho's runners are just hitting form, and her 7yo can go close if reproducing his CD second in a similar grade in June under this claimer. The grey didn't run as well under a different pilot back here down a grade 12 days ago, but reunited with young Kielu-Marshall and with his high draw, I can see him taking some catching.

Mags Mullins 4yo is without doubt the most unexposed mare here. A shock 66/1 winner at Ballinrobe in May in a conditions hurdle following a fall in a PTP, she was then exposed to the deep end of novice hurdling when 6th at the Galway Festival. This is her debut in a handicap on her 3rd run in a rules hurdle and crucially, in my opinion, her first run against her own sex. 4yos under 14/1 have a good record in this race from a small amount of runners.
