EL CORDOBES (1) is a progressive four-year-old gelding who hasn't raced since finishing second over 0m at Meydan on February 7. Should be prominent from the outset. Will give a great sight. FRENCH MASTER (3) is a progressive four-year-old entire who resumes from a break of six-and-a-half months, his last appearance being a win over 2400m at Kempton Park All Weather at his only run of that campaign. Has scored first-up from a spell before. Best form puts him right in this. KNIGHTSWOOD (7) built on a nice second when fresh from a spell two starts back at Thirsk with success over 2400m at Ripon a week ago, getting home by a head. Steps up a level but he is capable of running another bold race. INSANITY (4) resumes. Didn't make an impact at his only run last prep on 9/11/2024, finishing 22nd and beaten 31 lengths over 2400m at Doncaster. Among the better hopes.
