Prestbury Park¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: P J McDonald| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 80

5/1

Takes a step down the grading ladder after finishing well beaten at York last time, fading after leading, but in truth hasn't really fired yet this season. Yard's horses can always pop up from nowhere so not discounted, but others preferred.

Form: 545428

Inviolable Spirit¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Connor Murtagh⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 78| D

7/2

Finished in front of Prestbury Park at York last time and on form, has his beating again. Steadily improving sort that once again has his ideal conditions and the track shouldn't pose a problem. Has a decent chance of scoring here.

Form: 0-01333

Iron Sky¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Callum Rodriguez⁽³⁾| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 76

9/4

Just had the four starts and is open to plenty more improvement, stuck well to the task to finish second at Catterick last time (third well beaten since, though) but this is a little harder. Needs more then, but not out of it.

Form: 7-142

I Know How²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: G Lee| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 73| C

3/1

Already a winner at the track, having taken a novice race with a bit in hand in April but that was on softer ground than he will encounter today. However, goes up to 7f today, which looks a good move, and he may well improve for it.

Form: 76-13

(4)

Glacier Fox²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: J P Sullivan| T: T P Tate| OR: 70

20/1

Showed plenty of ability on first two starts but disappointing since and was well beaten on first start in handicaps at the end of June. Needs to turn things around to hold any chance.

Form: 248-8

(2)

Silver Starlight²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 69| C

13/2

Has some good form to her name at this track but the best of it has come on softer ground than she will get today and she rather appears to have gone off the boil lately. Hopes pinned on a return to her favourite venue.

Form: 40-6754

Forecasts

Iron Sky (9/4), I Know How (3/1), Inviolable Spirit (7/2), Prestbury Park (5/1), Silver Starlight (13/2), Glacier Fox (20/1)

INVIOLABLE SPIRIT has been in good form and keeps taking small steps forward, which is never a bad thing. Another one here and he looks the one to be with. I Know How will be hoping the heavens open overnight (which is possible) as that would both increase his chance and probably detract from the others, the exception to that being Silver Starlight, who could bounce back if the rain does come in any great measure. Keep an eye on the forecast is the advice.
