Verdict

An open-looking finale in which the suggestion is PAROLE D'ORO, who looked potentially well treated on his Thirsk second and did enough to suggest that ought to prove itself true another day when an unlucky eighth in the Britannia at Royal Ascot 3 weeks ago (denied clear run over 2f out). With further progress on the cards, he can get the better of Where's Freddy, who boasts a perfect 3-3 at this course, with Great Acclaim and Boyfriend rounding off the shortlist.

9	Back to winning ways at Wolverhampton (7.2f) in January and made it 3-3 at this venue in 10-runner handicap at this C&D (good) just under 3 weeks ago, not going with any great fluency early on but suited by the sound gallop. 4 lb higher here but obviously warrants plenty of respect. 2nd Pick 9 Where's Freddy (Ire) Jockey: Marco Ghiani Trainer: Stuart Williams J: Marco Ghiani T: Stuart Williams	98	-	-	-	25%

2	Had a productive 2024, registering his fourth success at Windsor in August. Took a few runs to hit top form this season but was back to his best when runner-up at this track (7f, good to firm) a fortnight ago, headed post having been well positioned. Back at 1m and that probably suits him better. 3rd Pick 2 Great Acclaim Jockey: Charles Bishop Trainer: Eve Johnson Houghton J: Charles Bishop T: Eve Johnson Houghton	98	-	-	-	10%
