Ripp Orf⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: R L Moore| T: D R C Elsworth| OR: 89| BF

6/1

Impressive when winning a valuable handicap at Ascot in May. Failed to justify favouritsm at Newbury and didn't handle the track at Epsom last time. Still well-handicapped and should go close if he handles the track and gets a decent pace to aim at.

Form: 122129

Medieval^b¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: P J McDonald| T: P & O Cole| OR: 88

16/1

Ended last year with a win on the Rowley Course over 7f. Had disappointed this time around until an improved effort over C&D last month. Only up 1lb and should remain competitive.

Form: 71-0092

Roll On Rory^v¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Jim Crowley| T: J Ward| OR: 85| C| D

14/1

Has a solid strike-rate on turf, winning seven of his 30 starts and on a workable mark. Seems to save his better efforts for Newmarket, as his form figures of 12116 suggest (over both courses). Well beaten last time at York but may bounce back here.

Form: 501567

Swiss Storm²⁵²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Louis Steward| T: M L W Bell| OR: 84WS

25/1

Improved from debut to win a maiden at Newbury but only seen sparingly since and presumably not the easiest to train. Makes his season return and probably best watched on first start since a wind operation.

Form: 71/938-

Vitamin¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: W Buick| T: R Hannon| OR: 90| CD

9/2

Impressive when winning over C&D last time out and the sixth from the race has come out and won since. In deeper here against the opposite sex but handicap mark is workable, put up just 5lb for her win and not ruled out.

Form: 31-051

Corrosive²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: James Doyle| T: H Palmer| OR: 90| D

13/8

Has won three of his five starts and far from disgraced at Royal Ascot last time when tenth of 30 in a competitive affair. Every chance he's still on a workable mark and likely to run well.

Form: 51-110

(8)

Court Of Justice¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: J P Spencer| T: D M Simcock| OR: 86| D

3/1

Has run well on each of his three starts and took his form to a new level when winning in impressive fashion at Beverley last time out. Third has franked that form since and on a workable mark for handicap debut.

Form: 2-41

Forecasts

Corrosive (13/8), Court Of Justice (3/1), Vitamin (9/2), Ripp Orf (6/1), Fastar (10/1), Roll On Rory (14/1), Medieval (16/1), Swiss Storm (25/1)

Provided he gets a decent pace to aim at, RIPP ORF could be worth siding with. He didn't handle the camber at Epsom last time out but Ryan Moore takes over in the saddle, he's still lightly raced and there's every chance he will leave that run behind. The assessor has given Court Of Justice a chance on handicap debut and he's less exposed than most. It would be foolish to ruled out Roll On Rory given his record on both the Rowley Course and July Course.
