Sunday, June 8, 2025FlatClass 37f

It's fair to say that TWO TRIBES has become expensive to follow, but he has resumed this season with a couple of solid efforts in strong handicaps and, with this step up to 7f a good move, he is taken to belatedly add to his 2-y-o success. If Superposition is able to reproduce something akin to his improved all-weather form now back on turf he will surely have a say in the finish. Akkadian Thunder is on a workable mark and he is also shortlisted, along with Apotheosis and Billyjoh.

    Verdict
    Two wins from 3 runs this year. 5/2, career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Kempton (8f) 23 days ago, readily. 8 lb higher mark to overcome now returned to turf, but that doesn't look insurmountable.

    Verdict
    Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Creditable fourth of 16 in handicap (5/1) at York (6f, good) 24 days ago, nearest finish. Looks ready for this step up to 7f and he's a big player off the same mark.

    Verdict
    16/1, good fourth of 17 in handicap at Leopardstown (7f, good) when last seen 8 months ago. Since undergone another wind op and resumes on the same mark, but it's reasonable to assume that he'll come on for the run.

    Verdict
    Twenty runs since last win in 2022. Creditable third of 8 in handicap at Thirsk (8f, good to firm, 15/2) 21 days ago. Strike rate isn't great, but he's another with an each-way shout.

    Verdict
    12/1, first run since leaving Jane Chapple-Hyam when sixth of 9 in handicap at Musselburgh (7.1f, good) 49 days ago, left poorly placed. The first-time hood will need to help eke out a bit more. Yard also fields Akkadian Thunder.

    Latest win at Redcar in April. Twelfth of 14 in handicap at York (7.9f, good, 18/1) 23 days ago and he's likely to come up short once more.
