The Wokingham is as tough as ever so have had 2 bets in the race at bigger prices. Quite a few of these have form that ties in with Probe and I like on that has taken him on plenty this season in APOLLO ONE. They are off level weights here after Probe beat him when getting weight. Apollo One ran a much better race last time at Epsom just losing out with Probe back in 5th. Coming from just off the pace seems to work for him and on fast ground again he should be a player.

FLAMING RIB is a favourite of ours and I think he could be back to his best here. He didn’t really have a chance in his last two races and this might be more within his grasp even with top weight. There isn’t loads of pace on so it would be good to see him bounce out and try and make all. He ran a cracker here last year and could be overpriced. Orazio is the big improver and is the danger to all of these if he copes with the ground. Of the rest Probe, Fresh and King’s Lynn could all go well.

Plenty in with chances here and Ziryab is definitely interesting now he gets a run but I can’t get away from KNOCKBREX for Charlie Johnston. This Ulysses colt saw off two subsequent winners in Perfuse and Crystal Mariner when opening his account at Pontefract on just his second start on a racecourse. He has been beaten twice since but bumped into Gregory at Haydock and we all know what that colt has done since and then was a good fourth at York last month. His form stacks up and if he improves again back in trip he is going to be a danger to all.

Canute will probably go off favourite for Aidan O’Brien after justifying strong support to open his account at Navan when last seen. He isn’t the most straightforward but clearly has an engine and should run well if improving again. Lion Of War got his head in front at Musselburgh last time but this is tougher and he’ll need to continue to progress to have a chance in this. Londoner is quite a big price and I might have a saver on him nearer post time as I do think he can take a big step forward as he has only had 4 starts to date.

After some of the fields on Saturday it is nice to have a 10-runner race and I do like STRATUM to make it a hat-trick here. He doesn’t always look in good form when he arrives here but has landed the last 2 runnings nicely and I actually think his prep run at Leopardstown will set up him up perfectly for this. He has the fast ground again and looks a solid bet unless the smaller field causes it to become very tactical.

Dawn Rising looks like the main danger even though a bit younger than the usual horses that win this. His form looks solid and should go well. Goshen runs and as always you never know but I think he will go off the front and hopefully doesn’t get an easy lead. Dermot Weld doesn’t usually run his horses without a good chance and Falcon Eight could be a run a place.
