13/8
Won over C&D in early June with a bit to spare, as her cramped odds that day suggested she would, but turned over at odds-on at Catterick on latest start. Soft ground there possibly not ideal and back on quicker here and a track she's proven at, should go well.

25/1
Bred to do better once going up in trip a bit, and was well behind Admiral Rooke on debut at Wetherby. May need more time and others preferred today.

9/1
Improved on debut run at Chester to finish second at Bath last time, although well beaten at the finish. Needs another step forward from that and may be one more for nurseries in due course.

40/1
Not much was expected from him on his Wetherby debut having gone off a 33/1 chance and he didn't show enough to think he's going to get involved here.

11/1
Not disgraced on debut when third to Twentytwowontdo at Catterick, the penny dropping late on and he was sticking to the task well enough. Different ground to contend with here but it may help, as will the uphill finish. Still plenty to find on that, however, and others look more forward.

11/10
Irish raider that has run to a good standard in better contests than this on his last two starts, and his half-length second in the War Command at Naas a standout effort. Reproduction of that makes him hard to beat here.

Forecasts

Verhoyen (11/10), Villa Tora (13/8), Admiral Rooke (7/1), Haveoneyerself (9/1), Undercover Brother (11/1), Fortunate Vision (14/1), Curzon (25/1), Money For Luck (40/1)

Verdict

This would look a good opportunity for VERHOYEN to get off the mark after some efforts in much better company than today's. A reproduction of either of his last two efforts would be good enough, as long as he handles the quicker conditions. Villa Tora is second best and already has course form, always a plus here. Admiral Rooke should like these conditions and can progress again.
