Justanotherbottle²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: G C O'Neill⁽⁵⁾| T: D Carroll| OR: 97| CD

4/1

Took advantage of slipping mark when winning well at Redcar (5f, good to firm) last time. 6lb rise in the weights makes like tougher but lightly raced and has won over C&D so hard to discount.

Form: 433-901

Evergate¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Jonathan Fisher⁽⁷⁾| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 95| D

9/1

Find life tough in a class 2 handicap at York (5f, good) last time. Capable at this level and riders claim will help. Hard to discount in an open race.

Form: 02-6720

Tarboosh⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Cam Hardie| T: P T Midgley| OR: 91| D

9/2

Best to put a line through the run in the dash at Epsom last week when getting hampered early and never able to recover. Feasibly handicapped and a much better showing is likely here.

Form: 113-790

Erissimus Maximus^b²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: S De Sousa| T: C A Dwyer| OR: 89| BF| D

4/1

Fair sprint handicapper did well last year winning five times. Still 5lbs higher than for last of those wins in October so more is certainly required. Champion jockey keeps the faith and another with chances.

Form: 19-3733

Moonraker²⁹

9/4

All three career wins have now come at Ascot. Won there last time over 6f (good to firm) on first start for this yard.. Every chance there will be more to come and this drop in trip is interesting.

Form: 84400-1

Midnight Malibu¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: Rachel Richardson⁽³⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 82| CD

16/1

Races off a lower mark on turf than the AW. Hasn't shaped like her turn is near so far this season and others are preferred here.

Elysian Flyer⁵²

Age: 6| Weight: 8-4| J: Aaron Jones⁽³⁾| T: P T Midgley| OR: 78| D

8/1

Ran well at Ripon last time out and second run after wind surgery here, but generally doesn't want anything quicker than good ground.

Forecasts

Moonraker (9/4), Justanotherbottle (4/1), Erissimus Maximus (4/1), Tarboosh (9/2), Elysian Flyer (8/1), Evergate (9/1), Midnight Malibu (16/1), Show Palace (16/1)

An open looking sprint handicap and it is not easy to totally dismiss any of these. Justanotherbottle won well last time and is respected under a penalty. Evergate is a player back down in grade and shouldn't be discounted. MOONRAKER is the selection for Mick Appleby. Although all three career wins have come at Ascot, he's only had one run for this yard and they are very good at improving this type. He can win again dropped in trip.
