El Borracho^h¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: K Shoemark| T: S Dow| OR: 65| C

9/2

Only win came here over a mile and was an eye catching fifth upped to this sort of trip when not getting a clear run last time. Further progress expected at this distance.

Form: 40-3665

Place Des Vosges²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Fran Berry| T: D Menuisier| OR: 65

14/1

Well beaten on turf debut here albeit in testing ground and had shown improved ability on her second start. Needs to find a big step forward on handicap debut but worth a check in the betting.

Form: 0-35

Pippin²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Liam Keniry| T: H Morrison| OR: 64

16/1

Never figured on handicap and seasonal debut in what was a disappointing run. Needs to find significant improvement.

Form: 708-0

Can Can Sixty Two¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Callum Shepherd| T: M R Channon| OR: 64| C

8/1

Won on heavy ground here which she's bred to be suited by before not disgraced on quicker ground again over 1m2f. Should be more to come at this distance.

Form: 9-6816

Sauchiehall Street²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: M Dwyer| T: S Kirk| OR: 63| D

25/1

Won nicely over this trip on AW two starts back but subsequently disappointed on soft ground. Arguable this surface will suit better but yet to convince in two starts on turf.

Form: 6146-17

Master Grey²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: William Carson| T: B R Millman| OR: 63| C

17/2

Broke through in good style on his fifth start in three runner contest on heavy ground. 3lb rise won't be a problem and he's clearly on the rise but did look suited by cut in the ground.

Form: 567-81

(8)

Masters Apprentice¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Gary Mahon⁽⁵⁾| T: S Kirk| OR: 63

50/1

Disappointed on his final run last season and was well beaten on reappearance after being gelded. Never looked happy there and best watched.

Form: 05425-8

Ventura Magic¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Tom Marquand| T: R Hannon| OR: 63

8/1

Bred to be suited by this trip but pulled too hard on first try at it last start due to slow early pace. Worth another chance and could easily take a big step forward off a likely stronger tempo.

Form: 78-485

(14)

Roser Moter¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 62| D

9/2

Won with a fair bit in hand on step up to this trip and handicap debut on AW last time. Up 6lb and different conditions but the way she won looks a stayer to keep on the right side of.

Form: 9601

Powerful Society²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs R Ford| OR: 61

14/1

Had looked exposed at shorter but took a big leap over 1m2f with cut in the ground at Goodwood. Hit the line as though this trip should bring further improvement but question mark on the ground.

Form: 825403

Dawn Of Reckoning^p1¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J G Portman| OR: 60

25/1

Hasn't looked straightforward in three runs this season including being pulled up two starts back and hard to reccommend.

Form: 68-P50

(2)

Cross My Mind³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Louis Steward| T: R M Beckett| OR: 59

9/1

Cape Cross filly, cost €58,000 as a yearling. Has shown some ability but raced too freely in slowly run race last start. Big step up in trip which will suit on handicap debut and market support should be noted.

Form: 6-46

(7)

Seinesational²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: S W Kelly| T: W J Knight| OR: 58

11/2

Made significant improvement when one place behind Powerful Society on handicap debut. Didn't quicken when asked which leaves doubts but clearly lightly raced and open to further progress.

Forecasts

El Borracho (9/2), Roser Moter (9/2), Dorian Gray (5/1), Seinesational (11/2), Ventura Magic (8/1), Can Can Sixty Two (8/1), Master Grey (17/2), Cross My Mind (9/1), Place Des Vosges (14/1), Powerful Society (14/1), Pippin (16/1), Sauchiehall Street (25/1), Dawn Of Reckoning (25/1), Masters Apprentice (50/1)

El Borracho was unlucky here last time and is open to progress still at this distance while Can Can Sixty Two likewise looks to have more to come over this far. Master Grey is going very much the right way providing he handles the likely quicker ground. Ventura Magic shouldn't be underestimated with a stiffer test of stamina likely to bring much more out of him but preference is for ROSER MOTER who won with a fair deal in hand on handicap debut and it could take a couple of races for the handicapper to catch up with her.
