Verdict

None of these can be ruled out but the vote goes to DARKEST RED who arrives on the back of a very good Epsom second and can go well again nudged up 2 lb. Miss Guinevere rates a big threat though now she steps up to this trip for the first time, while last year's victor Love You Back also commands plenty of respect.

6	Fair maiden who has run well since switched to handicap company, staying on when third of 10 at Salisbury (1¼m, soft) 17 days ago. That form has been franked and this longer trip promises to suit this Camelot filly so she's a player. 2nd Pick 6 Miss Guinevere (Ire) Jockey: Paddy Bradley Trainer: Charlie Fellowes J: Paddy Bradley T: Charlie Fellowes	95	-	-	-	20%

3	Deservedly got off the mark in this event in 2025. Twice runner-up over hurdles since but off since pulled up in handicap hurdle at Sandown (2m) in April. Freshened up since, and no surprise to see him bounce back. 3rd Pick 3 Love You Back (Ire) Jockey: Warren Fentiman Trainer: Gary & Josh Moore J: Warren Fentiman T: Gary & Josh Moore	94	-	-	-	29%
