8/1

Winner of his first two outings and ran well when finishing a head second in a Listed contest at Saint-Cloud (good) over 7f last month. Disappointed at Ascot last time and an interesting runner for a yard with a 40% strike-rate (6/15) of late.

11/10

Winner of his first two outings over 7f and ran well when third in a Group 2 contest at Goodwood (good) earlier this month. Shaped as if this step up to 1m would suit on that occasion and one for the shortlist here.

6/1

Made a winning debut over 7f at Yarmouth (good) and finished runner-up on good-to-soft over the same C&D when attempting to follow up a fortnight ago. Represents a leading stable here and worth a check in the market today.

7/2

Made an impressive debut when seeing off eight rivals at Ascot (good) over 7f last month but proved a disappointment over the same C&D in a Listed event a fortnight later. Interesting to see how he fares here.

Forecasts

Mildenberger (11/10), Tigre du Terre (7/2), The Last Emperor (6/1), Time Change (8/1), Ghost Serge (8/1), Watheer (18/1), Albishr (28/1)

MILDENBERGER was defending an unbeaten record when finishing third in a Group 2 contest last time out and he is taken to get his career back on track by registering a victory in this Listed event. The selection shaped as if he'd appreciate the extra furlong today and can get the better of Ghost Serge who represents an in-form stable and has placed at this level before. Tigre du Terre is another who has looked in need of this trip in recent starts and he is taken to claim third.
