Fine Interview
This could go the way of FINE INTERVIEW, who shaped well when fifth in a big-field handicap at Goodwood last month having been forced to switch around 2f out. He can build on that effort with more still to offer at 7f, so he gets the vote ahead of Strong Warrior who drops in grade after finishing mid-field at Royal Ascot last time. Bobby Bennu and Sixtygeesbaby complete the shortlist.

Winner of first 2 starts before a good second at Windsor on handicap debut in June. Stiff task when eleventh of 21 in Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot (6f, firm, 80/1) next time and he remains with potential back in calmer waters.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAscot6fGood to FirmFlat11/21Windsor6f 12yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat2/9Pontefract6fGoodFlat1/8Ayr5fGoodFlat1/4- 8(13)Fine InterviewJ: Jack NichollsT: Hamad Al Jehani21-3835Age 411/26/14/1

Three-time winner last season and, after a couple of below-par efforts, shaped well when fifth of 20 in handicap at Goodwood (7f, good, 20/1) 30 days ago.

Successful 3 times last year, including at this C&D. Good second at Haydock in July, before doing too much too soon when fifth of 7 in handicap at Chester (7f, firm, 2/1) 26 days ago.

C&D winner whose latest success came when making all at Haydock in July. Ran at least as well when 2 lengths third of 13 to Rhythm Master in handicap at this C&D (good, 5/2) 27 days ago and he can make another bold bid.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosThirsk7fGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat3/13Haydock Park6f 212yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat1/10Thirsk7fGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat2/12Ayr7f 50yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat1/12Thirsk7fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat1/11- 9(8)Rhythm MasterJ: Sam JamesT: Geoffrey Harker3732313Age 79/115/28/1

Gained reward for consistency this year when winning at Doncaster in July and has continued in good heart since, fourth of 8 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good, 5/1) 2 weeks ago.

C&D winner last year and, with reappearance behind him, ran well when fourth of 13 at Chester in May.

Thirteen runs since last win in 2023 but showed more than on reappearance when fourth of 7 in handicap at Chester (7f, firm, 5/1) 26 days ago, doing a bit too much in front.
