Verdict

MOVEIT LIKE MINNIE and Mr Mcloughlan may battle this out for a pair of in-form yards, the former narrowly preferred on the pick of last season's efforts. Banderas appeals most of the remainder.

#/Silk	Horse#/Horse	Power Rating	High Speed	Win %	Top 3%	Win Prob
1	Had strong handicap form at the beginning of last season, notably his third behind Alexei at Ascot. Gained reward for his consistency in Class 3 event at Wincanton in March and can be forgiven subsequent end-of-season effort. Big player back in calmer waters, with yard in fine form of late. 1st Pick 1 Moveit Like Minnie (Ire) Jockey: Sam Twiston-Davies Trainer: Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies J: Sam Twiston-Davies T: Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies	98	-	-	-	34%

2	Successful 3 times in the early part of last season. Performed with credit in good-quality handicaps subsequently, doing a bit much early when beaten 7 lengths in the Swinton on final start for Jack Jones. Interesting with hood added/sights lowered by new yard (38% strike rate so far in 2026/7). 2nd Pick 2 Mr Mcloughlan Jockey: Brian Hughes Trainer: Adrian Keatley J: Brian Hughes T: Adrian Keatley	100	-	-	-	39%

3	Strong-travelling type. Resumed progress over hurdles when winning a 2½m course handicap in May. Lost nothing in defeat on the Flat the following month. Still on a handy mark over hurdles, though this drop back in trip isn't certain to suit. 3rd Pick 3 Banderas (Ire) Jockey: Jonathan England Trainer: Sam England J: Jonathan England T: Sam England	98	-	-	-	17%
