BE THE STANDARD boasts some interesting form and is still open to improvement. A really solid second at Newmarket last time, Hugo Palmer's charge got closest to a certain Bow Echo in a Newbury maiden in August 2025 and could have enough in hand off 82 to win a competitive handicap like this. Progressive prior to a lacklustre Newbury display, it wouldn't be a huge surprise if Almekarem bounced back to form, while the in-form Pol Roger and Pearl Eye won't go down without a fight.
Prediction: 1st Be The Standard, 2nd Almekarem, 3rd Pol Roger
