Verdict

Low-mileage 3-y-o EL BURHAN got firmly back on the up in no uncertain terms when running out a comfortable winner of a 13-runner handicap at Ayr 37 days ago and a 6 lb rise for that career-best display may not be enough to prevent George Boughey's son of New Bay going in again. Alpha Crucis and Grey Cuban also arrive in excellent heart and are feared, as is Crowd Quake who has enjoyed a tremendous 2025 already.

5	Goes well when the mud is flying registering back-to-back victories at Goodwood last autumn and he comes here in good heart, runner-up at Sandown/Goodwood on each of his last 2 starts.

1	C&D winner who ran out an emphatic winner at Chester (10.3f) in July and following a good third at listed level there, he resumed winning ways in determined fashion in 14-runner handicap at York (10.2f) 2 weeks ago.
