Verdict

Hornsby won a minor handicap over 7f at the beginning of the year but improved on that when runner-up in a much better race over this trip. He wasn't disgraced back over 7f in a Group 2 a fortnight ago and looks reasonably treated. Mike De Kock hasn't really started firing and Kenilworth Group 2 winner Icy Trail was a long way behind the former last month, though he'll have needed the race. The stable look to have a better chance with Suyoof, a winner here a year ago and having his first subsequent start when catching the eye last month. HORS DE COMBAT was behind Hornsby last time but that was his first start since October. He'd been beaten narrowly by Khafoo Shememi in a Sandown Listed contest a month earlier and has a 9lb advantage with Richard Hannon's charge so should have no problems reversing the form. Another Touch, a Listed winner at Pontefract in July, needed his comeback and is just the type to do well here.
