Great Bedwyn
If GREAT BEDWYN is in the same form as when second at the York Dante meeting he may be able to go one better and deny Letsbefrank a £100,000 bonus for 3 wins in this series. Optician made quite an encouraging return to action at Southwell last month and also makes the shortlist.

Bagged £100,000 bonus for 3 wins in this series in 2024 and on course for another after successes at Musselburgh (12.5f, good) and Hamilton (11f, good to firm) this spring.

Recorded back-to-back 1¼m novice victories at the start of last summer. Creditable return to action when third over 1½m at Kempton reappearance but went backwards from that when well held at Ascot since, albeit in a very hot race.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAscot1m 3f 211yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat10/14Kempton Park1m 3f 219yStandard / SlowFlat3/9Newbury1m 2fGood to Soft (Soft in places)Flat9/11Goodwood1m 1f 197yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat16/18Redcar1m 2f 1yGood to FirmFlat1/9- 1(8)BrielleJ: Daniel TudhopeT: David O'Meara163140-Age 410/110/111/1

Proved better than ever when scoring at Musselburgh (12.5f) in April and confirmed that improvement when denied on the post by Letsbefrank there a fortnight later. Well behind the same rival at Hamilton since, although he did meet a bit of trouble.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosHamilton Park1m 3f 15yGoodFlat8/10Musselburgh1m 4f 104yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat2/9Musselburgh1m 4f 104yGoodFlat1/14Newcastle1m 4f 98yStandardFlat2/8Chester1m 6f 87yHeavyFlat6/13- 5(11)PenzanceJ: David EganT: Mark Loughnane6-23002Age 616/116/118/1

Winless since 2023 but has run several good races in defeat since. A switch to front-running tactics (usually held up) backfired at Hamilton last time but she has at least been eased another 2 lb on the back of that.
