Going - Good.

Formscan  - Shamekh, who went for just a tenth of his initial 180,000gns purchase price when he left Godolphin at Tattersalls last autumn, is noteworthy on only his second start for current connections. However, COPPER AND FIVE strikes as a more attractively handicapped contender and given he has gone well here before, he is worth chancing on these terms. Arranmore and Cosmos Raj also appeal, while Little Jo, who won this in 2021, is on a hat-trick and has to be feared too.
