Verdict

This is a better race than the Southwell contest DOMINATION landed 3 weeks ago but he did that very nicely so a 6 lb rise may not prevent further success. Dove Tale and Dialstone both make their second handicap start for leading yards and they are feared most.

2	Took a strong hold fitted with cheekpieces but still just about better than ever when recording win number 3 of 2026 at Southwell 3 weeks ago. 6 lb rise won't prevent a very bold follow-up bid. 1st Pick 2 Domination (Ire) Jockey: Sean Dylan Bowen Trainer: Harriet Bethell J: Sean Dylan Bowen T: Harriet Bethell	100	-	-	-	19%

4	Related to some useful types and progressed with each start thus far, winning 9-runner novice at Lingfield (1¼m, all-weather) in August before a keeping-on third despite looking rough around the edges on handicap debut at Leicester. Limit not yet reached. 2nd Pick 4 Dove Tale (Ger) Jockey: Robert Havlin Trainer: John & Thady Gosden J: Robert Havlin T: John & Thady Gosden	96	-	-	-	42%

1	Good-looking sort from useful family. Strong at the finish when opening his account in a Bath novice (1¼m) last month, looking better the further he went. Looked an interesting handicap debutant upped in trip but ran too badly to be true at Salisbury 4 weeks ago. Worth another chance. 3rd Pick 1 Dialstone Jockey: Hector Crouch Trainer: Ralph Beckett J: Hector Crouch T: Ralph Beckett	99	-	-	-	25%
