Saluti²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Jim Crowley| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 82

9/1

Dual winner on turf and placed on all three starts on the AW here as a two-year-old. Disappointed when last of seven at Sandown last time out but likely to appreciate this return to the AW and one for the shortlist here.

Form: 22-1017

Badenscoth²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Jack Duern⁽³⁾| T: D K Ivory| OR: 81| CD

6/1

Successful twice on the AW most recently over this trip at Chelmsford last month. Respectable effort when third on turf subsequently and races off an 8lb higher mark today.

Esprit De Corps²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: J P Spencer| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 80

11/2

Made a winning seasonal debut at Bath in April and best effort since came when runner-up in a 14 runner contest over 7f at Ascot (good) last month. Interesting to see how he fares on his first outing over 1m.

Form: 2-10424

Mudallel¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: James Doyle| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 78| CD

2/1

Improved efforts since being gelded last month finishing a close fourth over 7f here and following that up with an impressive victory over C&D last time out. Raised 8lb for that effort but remains open to improvement.

Form: 2-54441

Queensbrydge¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: L Morris| T: R Brisland| OR: 78

12/1

Disappointing since winning over 7f at Chelmsford over a year ago. Held seventh over 7f here last time out and others have a more obvious chance in this.

Form: 479-607

(2)

High On Love⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: S Donohoe| T: C Fellowes| OR: 78

20/1

Stepped up on seasonal debut when finishing runner-up over 1m at Windsor (good-to-firm) last month. Races off a 1lb higher mark today and making her AW debut in this contest.

Form: 5200-82

Sterling Silva^p1¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 77

20/1

Successful twice in the spring of his juvenile campaign and a couple of respectable efforts since being gelded earlier this year. Well held in first time blinkers (replaced with cheekpieces today) last time out.

Ventura Blues^p²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Rossa Ryan⁽⁷⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 77| C

8/1

Dual winner in the spring of her two-year-old campaign including over 6f here. Held of late and races off a mark 2lb lower than when fourth at Bath (good-to-soft) over this trip last time out.

Under Control³³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: P Cosgrave| T: W J Haggas| OR: 76| D

13/2

Put a disappointing debut behind him when winning his next two starts as a juvenile. Latest of those came over 1m at Chelmsford in September last year. Races off a 6lb higher mark today and is one to note on his belated seasonal debut.

Form: 911-

Forecasts

Mudallel (2/1), Esprit De Corps (11/2), Badenscoth (6/1), Under Control (13/2), Ventura Blues (8/1), Saluti (9/1), Queensbrydge (12/1), Sterling Silva (20/1), High On Love (20/1)

MUDALLEL appears to have improved since being gelded last month and he can register a second victory over this C&D having won easily here earlier this month. Under Control is chasing a hat-trick here having won his final two starts of his juvenile campaign and can finish second while likely pace-setter High On Love can take third.
