57 Expert View: Needed run down the field in a handicap at Yarmouth most recent; suited by 10f, acts on good to soft and good to firm, below par on AW; in and out of late but C&D winner has slipped a fair way in weights.

51 Expert View: Didn't find much having briefly threatened beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Lingfield last time; cheekpieces first time; effective 10-12f, acts on fast ground and AW; drops in trip but must bounce back.
45 Expert View: Regressing with age beaten 8 1/2l in a handicap at Bath last time; in good form prior; effective 8-10f, acts on good, suited by give, likes Goodwood; irresolute but capable.
50 Expert View: Hung on camber, possibly bit flattered when fourth beaten 3l in a novice at Epsom latest; bred for 10f; may do better now handicapping over further.
54 Expert View: Ran to form but needed stiffer test beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark at Lingfield last time; trainer in form; best form at 10/11f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; below last winning mark, needs to build on latest.
51 Expert View: Made too much use of and set it up for closers down the field in a handicap at Doncaster most recent; effective 8-12f, acts on any; in decent form until latest.
53 Expert View: Flattened out having met trouble beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Nottingham last time; effective 9-11f, acts on any; mark dropping but unreliable.
50 Expert View: Too much to do ridden to see out the trip beaten 3 1/2l off this mark at Salisbury last time; suited by middle-distances, acts on AW and fast ground; in good form, will need stiff test down in trip.
50 Expert View: Scored by 3/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Newcastle penultimate start; stopped quickly, made too much use of ninth beaten 10l off 58 last time, same mark here; effective around 8-10f, acts on AW; competitive mark still.
49 Expert View: Below form down in trip back on turf down the field in a handicap at Bath most recent; enjoys making it; effective 7-10f, acts on any; 7lb below last win mark, inconsistent of late.
45 Expert View: Outpaced, unsuited by drop in trip, needed run down the field in a handicap at Lingfield most recent; effective 10-12f, acts on any; has lost form badly, all to prove.
52 Expert View: Every chance, below form beaten 7 1/2l in a handicap at Lingfield last time; effective 6-9f, acts on a sound surface; exposed maiden was in decent form until latest.
37 Expert View: Continued in poor form comfortably held in a handicap at Bath last time; suited by 8f, stays 10f, acts with cut and on AW; all to prove.
Verdict
Former C&D winner Silver Gunn stands out at the weights based on his 2025 form but that did tail off and he was very disappointing on his return. He is respected but it could pay to side with the unexposed HENGEST who was probably a bit flattered by his Epsom run. It still makes him look well handicapped here though and he promises more over this longer trip given he was a hurdler previously. The consistent veteran Lenny's Spirit is also respected in an open race.
