Verdict
LORD PROTECTOR made a positive start to the season when twice placed off higher marks than this during the spring, and he is appealing back down in class having contested high-grade handicaps on his last two appearances. Haptics went down narrowly at Hamilton recently and is feared most ahead of the lightly-raced Sir Edward Lear and topweight Odin Legacy.

VerdictFifteen runs since last win in 2023. Bit below form fifth of 10 in handicap at Redcar (10f, good to firm, 50/1) 23 days ago. Back up in trip and he has to be taken seriously back in 0-80 company. - 7. Sir Edward LearJ: George WoodT: James OwenF: 14-20

Verdict28/1, good fifth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Kelso (18.1f, good) 24 days ago. Down in trip and while his latest performance in this sphere was respectable, one or two of these are more appealing all the same.- Unnamed Favourite
