Won this two years ago and later added another handicap off this mark; however, he has rather lost his way and now kicks off for a new yard; enjoys good ground.

SR 81 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at .
Runner-up in his first handicap (on good) and then made all the running on soft ground at Hexham, beating Scots Poet by some 17l; raised 9lb for that but he's far from exposed.

SR 90 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Fourth of six on the Flat last time out and beaten 22l here the time before that; a four-time winner in this discipline but reservations at the minute.

SR 86 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Record of 2-6 over hurdles, though neither win came in a handicap; only one effort of note in five runs over fences and blinkers are replaced by cheekpieces; the stable probably has brighter prospects with Cosmic Soul.

His hat-trick (2m1f-2m4f; good) has come at a cost mark-wise but it was all very straightforward last time at Sedgefield; something has clicked big time and he could deal with another 6lb.

Ex-French gelding; beaten 6l on handicap debut at Huntingdon (2m, soft) but failed to fire at Sedgefield in the new cheekpieces that are retained; others preferred.

Runner-up in the two handicaps he has completed and could have done with a truer pace when chasing home the market leader over 2m4f here last time; he's highly likely to get one here and he's one to consider.

SR 82 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
0-9 over hurdles but placed in his last two attempts and went very close at Carlisle in March (2m1f, good to soft); Thursday's Flat run when sixth wasn't too shoddy; can go well.

Exposed multiple winner; he would have found the ground too soft when beaten by King Sacre at Hexham and then dug deep to win at Kelso (2m, good; 5lb lower); entitled to have some say.

Even weighting across form, market confidence and race-day volatility.
Scots Poet (SR 92, 10-12) is the joint-highest-rated runner in the field and carries the lightest weight among the leading contenders, giving him a meaningful lbs edge — notably 16lb less than top-weight Kinbara Firstdraft and 14lb less than King Sacre. His form string 331-21 is the most consistent and active in the race: a win and a second from his last two starts shows he arrives in peak form rather than off a seasonal break. At 10 years old he is an experienced handicapper who knows his job, and his trainer Ewan Whillans placing him here suggests confidence in the assignment. The combination of top SR, lightest weight among the competitive group, and the best recent form line makes him the standout selection.
Each-way alternative: Cosmic Soul.
Main danger: King Sacre — King Sacre (SR 90, 11-12) arrives on the back of a win (form 5052-1) and at 6 years old has youth on his side — a last-time-out victory at this sort of level could mean he is ahead of his handicap mark.
