Has chalked up three wins from his last six; producing consistent form; produced an encouraging effort (third of eight, beaten just under 3l) when behind the reopposing Ahead Of The Facts upped to this trip four weeks ago in a Listed race; must be respected.

J: C Zackey

Finished just behind Umfula when fifth 14 days ago in a stakes race; yet to win a race of this value and wins infrequently; booking of Craig Zackey takes the eye; this represents a step up in class so unlikely to trouble the principals.

Behind Ahead Of The Facts when finishing fifth in a Listed race upped to this distance four weeks ago; has won here previously; this is his grade; has shown some positive signs recently and should not be ruled out.

Knocking at the door recently; wins have come at a lower level; displayed a fair level of form when 4½l runner-up here over 1m1f (stakes race) last month; hard enough to fancy given likely tougher test.

Verdict

This looks a tight contest on the figures but AHEAD OF THE FACTS is capable of landing this. He finished ahead of Congressman and Triple Time when last seen and should always be respected at this venue. Holding Thumbs isn't out of it.
