Tukhoom is moderate but has managed to win seven races on Turf and been placed 10 times. He's dropped to his lowest mark since 2019 so could go well at a price. Dragons Will Rise has won four of his last six, all on Tapeta, but has been unplaced in nine starts on Turf while Star Of St James has done his winning at Southwell. VENTURA RASCAL (NAP) progressed very well throughout last season, culminating in a double at Catterick and Beverley. He's only been raised 3lb for that last victory and can make a successful reappearance. Copper And Five hasn't had much experience but there are races to be won with him judging by his three runs last summer.
