Accession²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: Martin Lane| T: C Fellowes| OR: 100| D

18/1

Back to life in handicaps last time out at Newmarket where he took advantage of a falling mark in a weak race for the grade. Now back up in class/grade and faces an altogether stiffer task at the weights.

Form: 33-5871

Yuften⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 102| D

8/1

Seen to good advantage when winning a top class handicap at Ascot just under a year ago off a mark of 101. Has had excuses for two of his last three runs via the draw but didn't look suited by the drop in trip last time (7f) and may find this a little too sharp a test.

Form: 41-3000

(2)

Solomon's Bay^b1³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: James Doyle| T: R Varian| OR: 107| D

10/1

Winner of an Epsom Listed race at the Derby meeting over 7f on quickish ground he's going to find this a rather different test. Highly tried in Group 3 class on his last two starts he'll appreciate the ease in grade but has to find some improvement.

Form: 0-04104

Donjuan Triumphant^h³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: P J McDonald| T: A M Balding| OR: 104

4/1

Showed some very smart form for the Fahey yard when he was a juvenile and looks to be working his way back to something now although may be hard to place. Ran better than the bare result in top class handicap last time and respected here back up to 7f.

Form: 332-039

(4)

So Beloved^h¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 111| CD

5/4

Loves it around here and has a course record that reads 11333 (dual C&D winner) and has run well in better company this year. This drop in grade and a return to his favourite track may be what he needs but he is on a long losing run.

Form: 334255

(6)

Yattwee³⁶⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: P Cosgrave| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 102| D

4/1

Makes his seasonal debut and has run well when fresh before and this lightly raced sort may have a bit more to offer yet based on his form last year. Market may well give some clues as to what's expected and he's not written off here at all.

Forecasts

So Beloved (5/4), Donjuan Triumphant (4/1), Yattwee (4/1), Yuften (8/1), Jordan Sport (8/1), Solomon's Bay (10/1), Accession (18/1)

Good quality event that sees So Beloved given a decent chance of getting back to winning ways especially at a track that suits him well but DONJUAN TRIUMPHANT is just preferred after his rather eye-catching run in the Stewards Cup. He does look as though he might be a hard horse to place but deserves a chance here especially based on his juvenile form. Yuften is dangerous to discount although this trip could prove rather sharp but he’s not written off and neither is Yattwee. Jordan Sport is the best of those at bigger odds although he might find this a tougher test and may struggle to dominate this better field.
