Verdict
SIR WILLIAM produced a much better display when filling the runner-up spot over an extended 1m3f at Windsor recently and goes off the same mark. The application of first-time cheekpieces might eke out the improvement required for him to go one better. Mafting was successful the last time he was seen over this trip at Redcar three starts ago and needs to be taken seriously, while Urban Glimpse is another to watch out for.
Expert View Verdict
This is a tight little race with most of the protagonists a bit in and out of form. SIR WILLIAM is a tentative selection having come back to better form last time. He was even better in 2025 and cheekpieces might help him return to that level. Urban Glimpse probably needed the run on his seasonal debut and can be expected to make a better fist of it here and Mafting might bounce back after running below form in a very competitive handicap at York faced with an easier contest here.
