Pol Roger is positioned to challenge Supplicate’s bid for a fifth consecutive win in the Market Cross Jewellers Handicap, scheduled to run at 3:53 p.m. over a distance of 1 mile and 2 furlongs. The six-year-old returned to form with a victory at Ayr last month, marking his first win since May 2024. He solidified his comeback with a strong performance at Haydock 12 days ago, narrowly losing by a neck to Mehmas Champion. Both horses separated themselves decisively from the rest of the 13-runner field in that race.

Following his recent success, Pol Roger has been assigned a 2-pound weight increase. Meanwhile, his main competitor, Supplicate, carries an additional 6 pounds as he seeks to extend his winning streak to five. This significant weight difference could shift the advantage toward Pol Roger in the upcoming contest.
