Oh This Is Us²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 108| D

9/4

Top rated on official figures and twice a winner (including at Listed level) since being beaten a neck by Bravery in the Lincoln at Doncaster in April. Faced a tough task in the Group 2 Celebration Mile latest and this looks an ideal opportunity.

Form: 213804

Ibn Malik¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Dane O'Neill| T: C Hills| OR: 103| D

2/1

2016 Listed European Free Handicap winner and Jersey Stakes fourth to Ribchester who has appeared below that level in 2017. Well beaten in a competitive Chelmsford handicap latest, but will better appreciate these underfoot ground conditions.

Form: 49-4260

Mutawathea^p⁶³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Martin Lane| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 101

9/2

Three time winner on synthetics, but despite proving himself as a useful performer is yet to break his duck on turf. Went close when beaten ¾L by Viscount Barfield in a York handicap in June (7f), and eighth in the Bunbury Cup latest.

Form: 496628

Dream Of Dreams²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: K Shoemark| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 102

7/2

Talented juvenile for Kevin Ryan (Group 3 Railway Stakes third and Listed Rockingham Stakes runner up), but beaten at Hamilton on his seasonal reappearance in May and left that trainer to join this yard. Needs to better his recent Listed stable bow.

Form: 3P22-20

(2)

Summer Icon⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: S W Kelly| T: M R Channon| OR: 90| D

16/1

Two time winner (both over 7f) from 25 career starts, but faces a difficult task at these weights and in truth hasn't been in the best of form for the majority of the turf season.

Form: 660570

Forecasts

Ibn Malik (2/1), Oh This Is Us (9/4), Dream Of Dreams (7/2), Mutawathea (9/2), Summer Icon (16/1)

Not the most competitive of Conditions Stakes, therefore this race presents an ideal winning opportunity for the consistent Richard Hannon trained Acclamation colt OH THIS IS US. He is a rock solid performer over 1m, but has also demonstrated his versatility in winning over this specialist distance of 7f and can be expected to be going on strongest of all inside the final furlong. With various question marks against the other four runners, a reproduction of his most recent fourth to Lightning Spear in the Group 2 Celebration Mile at Goodwood in August should prove plenty good enough.
