DAPPER VALLEY (1) looked promising when trained by Richard Hannon but struggled out in Dubai earlier in the year. Back with previous connections having been with James Owen before and returned with a win at Leicester. Respected. EM FOUR (2) remains unexposed on the turf and has to be taken seriously based on a number recent efforts. ZIGGY’S MISSILE (3) hasn’t won since June 2025 but the assessor has given him a big chance here and has found a more realistic assignment. OVER SPICED (5) returned with a solid effort at Nottingham last month and will have taken a big step forward physically. Major player.
