7/2 |
Artistic Star
Lightly raced 5yo who has Group form, notably a good effort at Royal Ascot in 2023; disappointing at Southwell (AW/handicap debut) two months ago but is a likely player at this level provided he rebounds.

- Tom Marquand / A King

4/1 |
Paradias
Scored at Glorious Goodwood (1m1f) last summer; has taken well to AW, posting a solid effort at Southwell then readily beating Dream Harder at Wolverhampton (1m4f); could well have more to offer this winter and warrants respect up just 4lb.

- Andaleep
- R Kingscote / D & C Kubler

6/1 |
Andaleep
Modest strike-rate on AW but ran well behind The Glen Rovers in the 2024 final of this series and posted a similar effort at Wolverhampton last time; possibilities if helped by reapplied cheekpieces.

- Haku
- L Morris / D M Loughnane

10/1 |
Haku
Two-time course scorer but has a particularly good record at Wolverhampton, where he has gained last five wins; behind two of these rivals there last time and may be in the assessor's grip now.

- Civil Law
- Joe Leavy / R A Teal

|
16/1 |
Civil Law
Similar type to Haku, having registered last five wins at Wolverhampton; behind Andaleep there last time; on a workable mark but his Kempton record suggests a supporting role is most likely.

- Dream Harder
- Ryan Kavanagh / Ian Williams

14/1 |
Dream Harder
No match for Paradias at Wolverhampton and isn't weighted to reverse those placings; came up short at Newcastle last week, extending a losing run that goes back to July 2023; opposed.

- Gaassee
- Callum Shepherd / Jack Morland

9/1 |
Gaassee
Shaped quite encouragingly at Southwell (1m3f) this month on debut for new stable and first AW start since 2021, taking form figures in this sphere to 3114; he's 1-1 at Kempton (easy win) and interesting back here.

- The Glen Rovers
- S D Bowen / L Wadham

9/4 |
The Glen Rovers
Low-mileage 6yo who beat Andaleep in the 2024 final of this series and comfortably followed up in lower grade last time, making it 2-2 under Sean Dylan Bowen; those wins took his AW record to 4-6 and Kempton score to 3-4; progressing well and all of his positives outweigh being 2lb out of the handicap.
