Beechamwood Boy

J: C Bantam

T: H/m Crawford/rix

Unable to land a blow when fifth of seven at Kenilworth four weeks ago; not seen the winners' enclosure for a while now (last win in 2023); this is competitive and others appeal more.

The Abdicator

J: A Domeyer

Can boast winning form over this C&D; ran well to finish runner-up at 40-1 at Kenilworth two months ago; he can make a bold bid.

Elusive Winter

J: G Wright

T: H/m Crawford/rix

Resume shows that he is a proven winner (seeking a fourth career win); landed a narrow success in a stakes race at Kenilworth four weeks ago; easy to oppose despite that win last time.

Arctic Wizard

J: G Van Niekerk

T: G W Ennion

Ran encouragingly when just over 2l third over 6f at Kenilworth () three weeks ago; managed three wins in his last six outings; admirably consistent; one to consider.

Mufasa is one to consider while Arctic Wizard is one to be interested in. But a case can be made for NORDIC CHIEF. He is bidding for another success at this distance and he knows how to win.
