Getback In Paris⁵⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes| OR: 94| BF| D

7/2

Has proved much more convincing since stepping up in trip, winning at Goodwood (1m6f, good to soft) and also going close over that C&D on soft ground last time. Handled heavy ground in his younger days and looks a player.

Cleonte^v1²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: G Lee| T: A M Balding| OR: 92

9/1

Listed winner in France, where he was also placed in a Group 3 over 1m7f but had shown little for this yard until finishing a 5L fourth behind Sepal over C&D (heavy) recently. Visor introduced as he aims to build on that.

Sepal²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Jamie Gormley⁽⁷⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 90| CD

9/4

A revelation since joining this yard and made it four wins on the bounce when winning a similar event over C&D (heavy) with a fair bit seemingly up her sleeve. Raised 6lb but a five-timer looks a distinct possibility.

Amazing Red¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: P Mulrennan| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 89

7/2

Looked suited by a test of stamina over 1m4f when winning at Newmarket (soft) last month and again when beating everything bar an unexposed sort at Doncaster latest. Worth another tilt at this longer trip (well beaten on only previous attempt).

Suegioo^p¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey| OR: 89

25/1

Talented stayer, but his only win in 43 starts on turf came in the 2014 Chester Cup. Has dropped to a tempting handicap mark just hasn't shown enough in recent starts to inspire confidence.

Master Of Irony^v¹⁰⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: P Makin| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 84

20/1

Has done well over hurdles for this yard, scoring twice from four starts, but hasn't really threatened in either start on Flat. Upped in trip in the search for improvement and not badly treated if it all came together on ground which suits.

Form: 0745-78

Intense Tango^p1,t²²

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: Callum Shepherd⁽³⁾| T: K R Burke| OR: 79| CD

14/1

Won here over 1m6f (soft) last season when 11lb higher and, after a barren spell, she looked like she might be on her way back at Newmarket last month. However, took a step in the wrong direction with a poor run here last time.

Star Of The East⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Jane Elliott⁽⁵⁾| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 83

6/1

Won twice as a juvenile and has run well at times this year, especially when only denied a win at Newmarket (1m4f, soft) on a disqualification. Held by the handicapper over this trip since however, and others make more appeal.

Forecasts

Sepal (9/4), Amazing Red (7/2), Getback In Paris (7/2), Star Of The East (6/1), Taxmeifyoucan (7/1), Cleonte (9/1), Intense Tango (14/1), Master Of Irony (20/1), Suegioo (25/1)

SEPAL has proved a complete revelation since joining the Iain Jardine yard and still seemed to have a fair bit up her sleeve when completing a four-timer over C&D earlier this month. With fellow improver Taxmeifyoucan flopping yesterday, a five-timer would appear on the cards despite an ever rising mark. Getback In Paris has improved for a step up in distance and looks the principal threat, though the suspicion remains that Amazing Red may have something more to offer at this distance.
