Robert Walford's <strong>Prince Quali </strong>was in fine form when last seen in April with two soft ground wins at Chepstow but must overcome a layoff if he's to see off some race fit rivals here. Similar comments apply to Neil Mulholland's <strong>Sainte Doctor, </strong>with an even longer layoff to defy having last ran on April 26, 2023.<br>It may instead be left to those with race fitness on side, principally Joe Tizzard's <strong>War Lord </strong>who switches back to chasing following a summer spell over hurdles. The once classy nine-year-old is a long way from the Grade 1 company he once kept but still possesses quality on his day & could bounce back from a career-low mark over fences. Gary Moore's <strong>Icare Grandchamp </strong>carries a feather weight of 10st 6lb but is stepped markedly up in class while chase debutant <strong>Menaggio </strong>completes the quintet.<br>Never miss a story with all the latest racing news, interviews and features on your phone.

His best form, including a soft ground victory at Chester, would give him every chance but it could be another three-year-old in Saeed bin Suroor's <strong>Historic City </strong>that gives Boyle's charge the most trouble.<br>In what looks a cracking renewal of this wide open 1m Handicap, Charlie Johnston's <strong>Urban Sprawl </strong>is tasked with carrying top weight following a recent soft ground victory at Pontefract. That win signalled a return to form for the four-year-old having slid down the handicap from his career high rating of 93. With just a 3lb penalty to contend with, he could continue his revival from a mark of 80 but it won't be easy against a field of 11 rivals.<br>Both <strong>City Of York </strong>and <strong>Classic Encounter </strong>boast form with the highly progressive Kalamunda, who remains unbeaten (5-5) on all-weather surfaces. With no such opposition in this contest, it would surely be no surprise to see both run well with apprentice Tommie Jakes' 5lb claim a welcome helping hand for the latter.<br> South Asian Heritage Month: Teenager Aamilah Aswat dreams to follow in footsteps of Khadija Mellah <br> Horseracing community pays respects to Carol, Hannah and Louise Hunt <br> Jockey Club scraps formal dress rule at its 15 courses to make horseracing 'more accessible and inclusive' <br> Danny Brock: Former jockey disqualified for 15 years following BHA corruption hearing <br> Alex Hammond blog: Mandobi the pick of William Haggas dup in Ascot Lavazza Stakes <br> Today on Sky Sports Racing: Racing League and French Group Three action on stellar Thursday! <br>In the Listed Criterium de Vitesse (1.30pm) at Deauville, Adrian Keatley's <strong>Francisco's Piece</strong> will be well at home on heavy ground and having beaten Convo<strong> </strong>and Kaadi in a Listed contest at Chantilly on June 2, he stands every chance again.
