Age: 4
Weight: 10st 2lbs
Or: 70

Quirky sort who notched a quick-fire double in September last year. In another change of headgear when 10¼ lengths fourth at Haydock (soft) 3 weeks ago. Return to less-testing conditions may benefit one who isn't the heartiest under pressure. Warrants a second look on a rare start in a 0-70.

Captain Cairney

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 8lbs
Or: 68

Forward-going type with a good attitude. Progressed again when only narrowly denied a hat-trick at Ffos Las (1¾m, soft) last month (third has won since). Easy to forgive subsequent effort at Southwell and solid claims to resume winning ways under a talented apprentice.

C&D winner whose last success came at Haydock (2m) over 2 years ago. Arrives in a good run of form, though, finding one too good for the third time in 4 starts when chasing home a course specialist at Chester (1½m) last time.

Veteran who's won 4 times over C&D, including 2020 and 2025 renewals of this race. Turned in another lazy display when beaten 5½ lengths at Musselburgh (1¾m, good) latest, however, he isn't taken lightly given his record here.

Fair stayer on his day. Heavy-ground success at Beverley (2m) in August a standout effort of an underwhelming season to date. Only 1 lb higher if he can put his best foot forward.

Fair winning hurdler who still looks on a handy mark in this sphere. Belatedly opened his account on the Flat when scoring comfortably at Wolverhampton in March. Undone by a very slow start when 4¾-length fourth over 2m here in May. Interesting if ready to roll following 6 months away.

Well below his fairly useful best in a trio of all-weather starts for present yard. Has at least found some form in 2m handicap hurdles around Uttoxeter in recent months, the tongue strap he's been wearing in that sphere retained for this return to the Flat.

Timeform Verdict

GENTLE WARRIOR has been running in much better company of late and while not the most straightforward, he could be worth a chance dropped into this sort of grade. There are no such attitude concerns for Captain Cairney, who has solid claims to add to his tally, with Wasthatok still on a potentially handy mark for his Flat return.

Betting Forecast

7/1 Gentle Warrior (Ire), 3/1 Captain Cairney, 9/2 Arrange (Ire), 10/1 Bollin Neil, 10/1 Marbuzet, 9/2 Wasthatok, 40/1 Promethean (Fr), 100/1 Dragonflame (Fr), 16/1 Stitching Wheel (Ire), 40/1 Gemical (Ire)
