Fast Dancer³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Finley Marsh⁽⁵⁾| T: J Tuite| OR: 85| BF| C

6/1

Chester winner in May (1m2½f, good), has run well all three starts this term having moved up in distance. Gets another furlong to try now and should go well.

Form: 244-315

Panko^t1¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: L Morris| T: A M Hales| OR: 85| D

5/2

Thriving, with two wins in three starts for new yard having seemingly needed reappearance. Game winner at Leicester (1m4f, good to firm) 15 days ago, 4lb higher now but very dangerous to underestimate him.

Form: 606-311

Maori Bob²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Cameron Noble⁽⁵⁾| T: M L W Bell| OR: 83

4/1

Ended progressive campaign last summer with three straight wins at Beverley and Leicester over this sort of trip. Coming to the boil again after three runs this season, all of them promising, and should be in there pitching for this prize.

Form: 111-933

Orin Swift⁴⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G Portman| OR: 78

15/8

Runner-up over C&D on final start last year, produced career-best on return to action when scoring at Newbury (1m4f, good to firm). Game winner there (front two clear), 8lb higher mark but just an eighth start all told and entitled to progress.

Form: 43362-1

Falcon Cliffs¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: David Probert| T: A W Carroll| OR: 76

6/1

Canford Cliffs filly twice finished second in as many starts for new yard, including over C&D in May on reappearance. Another solid showing since at Lingfield, more of the same puts her in the mix.

Form: 6025-22

Forecasts

Orin Swift (15/8), Panko (5/2), Maori Bob (4/1), Fast Dancer (6/1), Falcon Cliffs (6/1)

Not an easy puzzle to end with but ORIN SWIFT made an excellent start to the new term when scoring at Newbury in May over a similar trip and might defy an 8lb hike now. The front pair in that contest pulled miles clear and there should be further progress to come from the lightly-raced four-year-old. Panko is thriving for his new yard and showed a pleasing attitude in victory at Leicester last time while Falcon Cliffs has been second in both starts for new stable and needs considering. Writing off Maori Bob or Fast Dancer would be churlish, with the betting a key guide to this finale.
