Artarmon^p²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: P J McDonald| T: M L W Bell| OR: 75

9/4

Has looked somewhat one paced so far and this shorter trip may leave him exposed, particularly against battle hardened rivals who know how to win.

Form: 83-244

Odds On Oli²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 73| C

9/2

Easy winner over 1m here in April when rated 56 and his current mark looks justified based on two solid runs in class 3 handicaps. Tries a new trip but ran as though it would be in his range last time.

Form: 241133

Quantatmental²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Patrick Pilley⁽³⁾| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 73| D

8/1

Has got the hang of things and fast ground has helped him to two victories from the front. The Beverley form has worked out better than Haydock, but he has been proving hard to pass and will again test his rivals resolve.

Form: 95-5311

Surya¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: N Mackay| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 75

11/8

By Frankel out of an Oaks/Irish Oaks winner. Has improved with each run and his latest Goodwood effort rates as highly as anything his rivals have achieved. Stable have a 20-54 record here since 2014

Form: 052

Zilara^p1³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Callum Rodriguez⁽³⁾| T: R M Beckett| OR: 73

12/1

Improved on handicap debut when tackling this trip for the first time. Shaped that day as though she needs further and cheekpieces are given a go.

Form: 40-02

Forecasts

Surya (11/8), Artarmon (9/4), Odds On Oli (9/2), Quantatmental (8/1), Zilara (12/1)

Surya is impeccably bred and represents a yard that rarely leave here empty handed. However, in ODDS ON OLI and Quantatmental he faces two rivals who are tough and possess winning form. The latter should ensure a fair pace and battled hard to earn the honours last time. The selection has been acquitting himself at a higher level since his last success and looks ready for a tilt at this longer distance judged on his latest run in better company than this. Artarmon and Zilara are yet to show they have the pace to pass a determined rival in a finish.
