Verdict
A case can be made for a few of these but EMPIRICAL's form is on an upward curve and he is fancied to resume winning ways after finding only one too good over C&D last time. Interstate remains with few miles on the clock and rates the chief threat on the back of a breakthrough novice success at Newcastle, while Law Court is weighted to go well if shrugging off a lesser effort at Ascot.

VerdictUnreliable sort though he went off too hard when last of 7 in handicap at Yarmouth (1¼m, good) 3 days ago. Took this in 2024 so can't be discounted if on his A-game in a change of headgear (blinkers on for first time).

VerdictVeteran scored twice on turf at Lingfield in May but below that form in a trio of runs subsequently, just eighth of 14 in handicap at Epsom (1½m, good) 18 days ago. This C&D scorer needs to bounce back.

VerdictUseful performer up to 1½m for H-F. Devin in France. However, little promise in 4 starts for David O'Meara this season, again failing to beat a rival in handicap at Doncaster (1¼m, good to firm) in July. Needs this yard switch to spark major progress.- Unnamed Favourite
