Today, FlatClass 21m3f
Verdict

This is wide open so it could pay to side with Richard Hannon's low-mileage STEM who got back to winning ways at Sandown last time and remains handily weighted on his first go over this distance. Both Insanity (second choice) and Night Breeze are past winners of this and seem sure to be on the premises again, while Castle Stuart is another with plenty to recommend him.

    Verdict
    Won twice over C&D (including this contest) in 2025. Has continued on the up, scoring at Epsom in April and good placed efforts in competitive handicaps since, third of 17 at Goodwood (1¼m, good to firm) 11 days ago. Very much one to consider again.

    Verdict
    Resumed with a good second at Pontefract (1¼m, good) in April but turned in a below-par thirteenth of 17 in Duke Of Edinburgh at the Royal meeting over C&D last time. Took this in 2024 and also third last year so he's a likely player again freshened up after a break.

    Verdict
    Veteran who scored on all-weather in January/February. Not at his best since, although he possibly found the run coming too soon when last of 12 to Sportingsilvermine in handicap at Newmarket (1½m, firm) 35 days ago. Cheekpieces back on now and this course winner can't be ruled out.
