4/9

Dual winner in novice contests and followed up a good fourth at Snadown (5f, good) in a Listed contest by finishing seventh at Royal Ascot (6f, good-to-firm). Likely to prove hard to beat dropping markedly in grade.

100/1

Well beaten last of three when making his debut at Ayr (6f, good-to-firm) last time out. More needed if he's to take this contest.

9/4

Successful in a valuable maiden at Chester (5f, good) in May. Finished one place behind Blown By Wind at Sandown (5f, good) later that month and steps up in trip following a respectable effort at Beverley last time.

Loch Ness Monster

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: A Mullen| T: M Appleby

12/1

Unraced son of War Command purchased for £35,000 at the breeze-up sales in April. Half-brother to a number of winners on the Flat and market support would be interesting on debut.

Blown By Wind (4/9), Wedding Date (9/4), Loch Ness Monster (12/1), Roll Up Roll Up (100/1)

BLOWN BY WIND takes a notable drop in grade here and he can provide trainer Mark Johnston with a third victory in this race in the last five years having taken it in both 2014 and 2016. The selection has won twice already during his short career and can get the better of Wedding Date who finished just behind the selection when the pair met at Sandown in May. Third place can go the way of Loch Ness Monster who is making his debut on this occasion.
