Verdict

RAFFLES NOBU is probably still well treated under a penalty so is taken to follow up last week's Newton Abbot success. There looks to be several credible dangers, most notably Zamond and Scots Poet.

4	Having dropped 35 lb in the weight since his British debut in February 2025, he looked rejuvenated when readily snapping a long losing run at Newton Abbot 7 days ago. Could prove hard to beat under a 7-lb penalty. 1st Pick 4 Raffles Nobu (Fr) Jockey: Jack Quinlan Trainer: Nick Scholfield J: Jack Quinlan T: Nick Scholfield	100	-	-	-	39%

3	Only been beaten by a gambled-on rival at Newcastle final run last year. Needed subsequent reappearance before again bumping into one over C&D last time. Building up a solid course record and expected to be in the mix once more. 2nd Pick 3 Zamond (Fr) Jockey: Theo Gillard Trainer: Donald Mccain J: Theo Gillard T: Donald Mccain	97	-	-	-	17%

1	Winner on 3 of his previous 4 completed starts. Shaped as though still in good form (unseated through no fault of his own) when bidding for a hat-trick at Perth 8 days ago. Quick turnaround suggests he's none the worse for that. Should go well again. 3rd Pick 1 Scots Poet Jockey: Conor O'farrell Trainer: Ewan Whillans J: Conor O'farrell T: Ewan Whillans	95	-	-	-	23%
