21st Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Record of 321 since wearing blinkers, most recently landing the Wolferton at Royal Ascot (1m2f Listed, good to firm) where he won well and looked better than ever; headgear retained; faces a stiffer task on first Group 1 attempt and owner's retained rider Jim Crowley prefers Alflaila. |

Group 2 winner (1m4f) last term; beaten favourite in two runs in Britain with blinkers added this spring but he ran right up to his best when second to Passenger in 1m2f Chester Group 2 (good to firm; also acts on heavy) last time, with the pair well clear; solid chance. |

9st 10lb |
Record of 4-7 on AW; only 1-21 on turf but has plenty of useful form and bettered that when second in the Wolferton at Royal Ascot (1m2f Listed; good to firm) on penultimate start; below par in major handicap at York last time but has clear possibilities if aided by the fitting of tongue-tie. |

Finished third in two competitive C&D handicaps last summer (including this) and better than ever the last twice, when close fourth in Epsom handicap (1m2f, good to soft; despite early stumble) then second of 15 in the Listed Wolferton at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm); firmly in calculations. |

Good fourth in the Group 3 Hampton Court over C&D (good to firm) at last year's Royal meeting; not seen again (gelded) until third of 13 in 1m1f handicap at the Newmarket Guineas meeting in May, shaping very well; subsequently purchased by Wathnan Racing; this low-mileage 4yo should have more to offer after only six starts and is high on the shortlist. |

Has run only five times, most notably on last two occasions when winning a handicap at Epsom on Derby day and fourth of 16 in Group 3 at Royal Ascot (both 1m2f on good to firm); gelded in December; it's been a lengthy layoff but he still looked capable of better (which is needed) when last seen. |

Four-time AW winner; has comparable form on turf but he took his record in this sphere to 0-17 when a creditable fourth of 15 in Epsom handicap (8.5f; good to soft) on reappearance 18 days ago; cheekpieces back on; it's unlikely that a first success on the grass will arrive now. |

Came from the back to win a six-runner race for this Listed contest on heavy ground last year; has comparable form on good and good to firm, including when he was switched to these cheekpieces two and three starts back; steps down in class after a very stiff task in Group 1 two weeks ago, just as he did last year, and should give it a good shot again. |

Has a very lofty mark and hasn't been at his best the last twice but he excelled in big-field handicaps last year, finishing second in this (good to soft) and posting wins over C&D (good to firm) and in the Cesarewitch (1m1f, good to firm; off 4lb lower); not necessarily handicapped out of things. |

Has proved an excellent buy by connections, notably winning the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket (1m1f, good to firm) last September; showed he can mix it at Group level when second in the Group 3 Earl Of Sefton back at Newmarket (1m1f, good) in April; never-dangerous fourth in Group 2 there (1m4f) last month but he ran well enough to think he's still in form; each-way claims. |

Went close in Chester Group 2 (about 1m2f, soft) on sole outing in 2023; well beaten on first two runs back but revived with first-time blinkers added to his regular tongue-tie (combination retained) when second in 1m2f Goodwood Listed race (good) 25 days ago; another step forward is needed here and he's drawn widest; Jim Crowley prefers Israr. |

Free-goer but he's very classy and produced career-best form when making light of top weight in the Rosebery Handicap here in April; creditable third in 1m4f Newbury Group 3 (good) next time, before well beaten at Royal Ascot (28-1); off since but he'd have a say if returning to that Rosebery form. |

Keen-going sort likes a sound surface; beat Tarawa on the round mile at the Curragh just over a year ago and, after being gelded over the winter, made winning reappearance in five-runner Group 3 over that trip here in May; penalty means he's 3lb worse off with runner-up Real Appeal; down the field over 1m2f at Royal Ascot where he probably didn't stay; not an obvious candidate for headgear but cheekpieces are fitted. |

Reappeared after a gelding operation to win a 1m Group 3 at Leopardstown (good) last month but it wasn't a strong race of its type and he looks vulnerable under a 5lb penalty here; stamina is also not assured (weakened on his previous attempt at about 1m2f). |

Disappointing in Listed Wolferton Stakes at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm) last month but perhaps the ground was too lively (wins on good-soft); prior to that he was very impressive in a handicap over this C&D (good) and on that evidence today's 10lb higher mark may not be beyond him. |

Slammed this year's Lincoln winner Mr Professor at Hamilton (1m1f, soft) on final 3yo outing and produced an equally striking performance when readily following up off 10lb higher at the York Dante meeting (about 1m2f, good) on his reappearance in May; there's little doubt he can make his presence felt outside handicaps; player for a yard seeking a third win in this since 2020. |
