Just A Spark: Progressive on AW with a hat-trick. Struggled in turf handicaps but latest run at Salisbury can be forgiven due to trouble.

Bass Player (IRE): Finished sixth in a handicap at Goodwood in his last start. Has the class to be competitive but may not be straightforward.

Mitrosonfire: Won over the same course and distance last year and showed signs of improvement in his return at Goodwood. Likely to be in good form.

Able Kane: Ended last year on a low note and hasn’t hit top form this season. Has tongue tie and blinkers refitted. Reasonably handicapped.

Chola Empire: Solid record in AW handicaps and has been performing well on turf. Fourth at Goodwood in his last start and expected to give another good account.

Gdaay: Returned to form with the help of a visor in his last start at Kempton. Well treated and should be competitive if the headgear has a positive effect.

Dancinginthewoods: Fairly consistent performer but had a poor effort in his last start at Newcastle. Might need this run and is just out of the weights.

Urban Sprawl has shown progress, good recent form, and the ability to make all. Should be a strong contender.

Mitrosonfire has a previous win over the course and distance and showed signs of improvement in his return.

Hafeet Alain (IRE): Has only won once since 2019 but showed promise with a better performance at Lingfield. Fourth on the Rowley Mile but has dropped in the weights. Shortlisted.

Shigar (IRE): Won a minor event at Lingfield last year and has been consistent, finishing creditable fourth in his last start at Kempton. Return to the longer trip should suit with the application of a hood.

Gulmarg (IRE): Won twice last year and has been holding form well this season. Finished placed again at Nottingham and expected to give another good account.

Pisanello (IRE): Won at Hamilton but seemingly failed to stay the longer trip in the following race at York. Can give a good performance with the right ride.

Man Of Eden: Won on debut for the current yard and has shown promise despite the results in his last three starts. Consideration with blinkers on for the first time.

Power of Darkness: Hasn’t won in nearly two years but showed signs of a comeback in a recent race at Yarmouth. Not to be written off as the mark continues to fall.

Micks Dream: Finished well held in his last start on the all-weather. May find others stronger but had good performances in two starts at Newmarket last summer.

Summarizing their chances:

Wild Side (IRE) has shown progress and completed a hat-trick, making her the top pick.

Hafeet Alain (IRE) has dropped in the weights and showed promise with better performances.

Based on the analysis, Capone (GER) appears to be the best pick in this race.
