The step back up to 7f could leave the recent 5f winner Manhattan Chute vulnerable on this occasion, so preference is for PARTY BEAR. Karl Burke's filly was only beaten a nose into second at Kempton last time and she can defy a 2lb rise in this moderate contest. Me Tarzan and Rey De La Batalla are the clear pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Party Bear 2nd Manhattan Chute 3rd Me Tarzan

SURVIE was purchased for 1,900,000gns in December and was a Group 2 winner over 1m4f back in 2024. The daughter of Churchill ran well in defeat in Group 1 company multiple times last year and it would be no surprise to see her win readily here. Teumessias Fox is not the most regular of winners but is still likely to be a bigger threat than Military Academy.
Prediction : 1st Survie 2nd Teumessias Fox 3rd Military Academy

Monks Mead (first) and Iftikhaar (second) were only separated by a nose in a similar C&D contest 10 days ago and both are likely to be in the mix once again. That said, marginal preference is for AL BAAHY, who won at Wolverhampton recently and that form has already been boosted with the third winning since. Hijo De La Luna is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Al Baahy 2nd Monks Mead 3rd Iftikhaar

MYNA beat Haveagobeau by a neck over track and trip recently and that might be the key piece of form to focus on. If Tony Carroll's charge can back that performance up, he will prove a tough nut to crack. Dubai Harbour finished third behind the selection over C&D latest and may get closer on these revised terms. Five-time C&D winner Marion's Boy is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Myna 2nd Dubai Harbour 3rd Marions Boy

Ryan Moore keeps the ride on Completely Random after his impressive victory in a handicap over C&D earlier in the month and he is well worth his place at this level. However, a chance can be taken on COOL HOOF LUKE. The son of Advertise was last seen winning the Gimcrack at York in 2024 and the unexposed four-year-old makes plenty of appeal on his return from a long absence for the in-form Andrew Balding team. Last year's winner Marshman can't be ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Cool Hoof Luke 2nd Completely Random 3rd Marshman

Barenboim accounted for Vice President when returning to winning ways in this grade at Kempton on his most recent outing and is expected to confirm that form. Even so, BERKSHIRE SUNDANCE looks the way to go. The six-year-old ran too badly to be true when well beaten in a warmer event at Newcastle, but this is a lot easier and he could take full advantage. Therapist is another to keep an eye on.
Prediction : 1st Berkshire Sundance 2nd Barenboim 3rd Therapist

Several of these are old rivals and there is little to choose between the likes of The Thames Boatman, Star Chorus and Master Of My Fate based on recent encounters. However, MICHAELA'S BOY has a good record on Polytrack and this now dual C&D winner could be the answer bidding to follow up after resuming winning ways here 19 days ago. Having won off this mark before, a 5lb rise is workable for Robert Cowell's six-year-old.
Prediction : 1st Michaelas Boy 2nd The Thames Boatman 3rd Star Chorus

Gelded since last seen, BALOO'S BLUES is a potential improver that looks worth chancing on just his third start in a handicap. A rating of just 65 is highly workable and he won't need to raise his game by much to get off the mark this time. No Knee Never, a ready winner over 7f at Southwell 11 days ago, is feared the most with a 3lb rise manageable for the step back up to a mile. Way To Dubai and Naval Ensign complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Baloos Blues 2nd No Knee Never 3rd Way To Dubai
