7/2

Been in terrific form this year having won two of his last four in competitive handicaps. Has sound claims at the weights in here and should be bang in the mix if he runs his race.

11/8

In good form earlier on in the year at Meydan. Bounced back with a solid effort when only caught close home at Newbury (7f, good to firm) last time. Drop back in trip no problem and a leading contender on these terms.

2/1

Won a valuable sales race here over 6½f last year. Highly tried since including in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot last time. Should appreciate this drop back in grade but a bit to find all the same.

Form: 231-430

Naadirr^v⁷⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 102| CD

8/1

Useful if rather temperamental performer who had everything fall right for him when winning a good handicap over C&D (heavy) on his second start this year. Respectable third in an Italian 6f Group 3 last time and should be thereabouts.

Form: 836-613

A tight little contest that can go the way of KIMBRELLA under young claimer Oakley Brown. He's been mixing it in tougher races than this lately and should appreciate this drop back in grade. Ice Age and Top Score both have sound claims and are very much respected in opposition.
