Walsingham
Four-time winner who landed a third success at Pontefract (1m, good) on his penultimate start, having attracted support; also effective on a softer surface than that but it was this mark he raced from when well held at York three weeks ago and this demands a career best.

From the connections
“The last couple of springs haven't gone smoothly but Walsingham had a clean run through this time and I hope he can kick on. When we bought him in 2023 we thought he could be a proper handicapper - Martin Dixon, of The Horse Watchers.”
“Walsingham jumped really well and took a strong hold, Danny Tudhope said he can race lazily but he didn't today. He travelled into it really well, but I could have done with something taking me into the race a bit longer because when he hit the front he didn't do too much. He's done it nicely. I know it's hard to get home here at Ascot on soft ground, so I was keeping an eye on the leaders but he was always giving me such a good feel that I knew I'd get them back - Brodie Hampson, jockey.”
