16/1
Has run to a similar level of form on all three starts so far, though perhaps did not appreciate soft ground last time. Could do better back on a quicker surface, but needs improvement to figure among the prize money.

13/8
Made a promising debut at Lingfield when runner-up (5f, good to firm) in a similar race last month. 150-1 and pitched in at Group Two level at Royal Ascot last time, but probably improved even though beaten 8L. Looks very interesting now back at this level and should be involved.

6/4
Has made good strides in her four starts so far without managing to win a race. Beaten just 4½L when sixth in the 23-runner Group Two Queen Mary at Royal Ascot last time out and that is very good form to bring to the table here. Likely to be tough to beat.

40/1
Raced keenly on debut before fading to be a 29L last of seven. Should improve for the experience, but this looks a very tough assignment at this stage of his career.

7/2
Has run to a consistent level of form in five starts so far, finishing out of the frame just the once last time at Carlisle, when cut in the ground did not appear ideal. Fast ground will help here and she again has claims of making the frame.

Forecasts

Pursuing The Dream (6/4), Connery (13/8), Aquadabra (7/2), Holdenhurst (15/2), Dreamboat Annie (12/1), Funkadelic (16/1), Korak Boy (40/1)

Verdict

PURSUING THE DREAM can get off the mark here after posting an excellent effort in context at Royal Ascot last time out, while Connery looks a potential danger if making further progress from his own efforts at the Royal meeting. Holdenhurst has winning form to his name and along with Dreamboat Annie and Aquadabra, he is likely to be involved in the battle for minor honours this time.
