Stays well and acts on a soft surface. Last couple of starts have been woeful though and suggest he may have issues.

Has paid the price recently for picking up four races this summer.Produced a bold effort in a valuable Newmarket race last time when 4lb "wrong" in the weights. Rider knows her well and there may be more to come.

Produced a career best when he landed a gamble off a similar mark this summer over 1m4f. Has form at this trip and handles some give underfoot. A quirky sort who needs to be delivered late and the jockey booking takes the eye.

Has bumped into two well-handicapped horses on his last couple of starts. Can be considered well treated himself at present and conditions are favourable.

Winner at Ripon this summer off 2lb lower. Back down to a more realistic mark and will see out the trip on this ground.

Landed his third race of the campaign at Ffos Las and that prompted a stiff rise in the weights. Struggled from a slightly higher mark last time and has work to do here.

4lb below his last winning mark and something of a Brighton specialist. Four years since he tackled this trip but showed he stayed. If the ground remains soft then that would be a bigger problem.

Losses continue to accumulate but blinkers produced modest improvement last time. Cheekpieces are tried this time but others are more appealing.

Veteran dual-purpose horse who has gone more than three years without a win. Probably better over further and in lower grade.

Forecasts

Graceful Lady (11/4), The New Pharaoh (9/2), Gabrial's Star (5/1), Ayr Of Elegance (11/2), Incus (6/1), Sleep Easy (8/1), Spiritoftomintoul (10/1), Fitzwilly (12/1), Norab (14/1), Riptide (16/1), Bertie Moon (16/1), Roy Rocket (20/1)

Verdict

Graceful Lady has had a good campaign and produced a great run from out of the handicap at Newmarket last time. On the forecast ground though, THE NEW PHARAOH makes more appeal under one of the year's top young riders. He landed a gamble this summer and is down to a similar mark here. Bertie Moon is of interest on his debut for a yard that do well with horses they pick up from elsewhere. Back to his optimum trip and off this mark, he would be one to monitor closely in the market.
  1. The New Pharaoh
  2. Graceful Lady
  3. Bertie Moon
