Formscan - Service Minimum could prove popular following a third in a better race at Uttoxeter, where a mistake four out didn't help her chance. She is not comfortably overlooked, but a chance is taken on HANDLETHEKETTLE. The winner of two Worcester races during the summer of 2025, he finished second at the same track on his return last month and tries for another victory while the ground remains on the good side. Spot On Soph steps up two classes, but may still be good enough for third.

Quotes on Washington (GB)
this is the biggest race I've won so far in my career and it's very cool, because this horse is a little bit older and has a few miles on the clock. To get him back loving it like this and to put in a performance like that was exceedingly satisfying. this race closes early and I thought with the ground in Ireland being quite dry this autumn, that it might suit us and this horse has very sporting owners. We had it in our mind as it obviously has huge prize-money and I thought the track would really suit him. When he won at Chepstow last time out I considered the Greatwood but I thought the track wouldn't suit at all. On this place, with a big galloping track, I thought it would be perfect for him. Very rarely in horse racing a plan comes together but this one actually did!
