Admiral Anson²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Kevin Lundie⁽⁵⁾| T: M Appleby

200/1

Pulled up in a bumper and then tailed off at Leicester, showing next to nothing either occasion. No realistic chance here.

Form: 5

(3)

Chiefdom

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: K T O'Neill| T: J & T Gosden

8/1

Cost $300,000 as a yearling and is a half-brother to five winners inc Derbaas (classy performer at 7f-1m). Yard have a 19% strike rate with their 3yos at the track and often introduce a good one here, so has to be on the shortlist.

Form:

(9)

Ice Cool Cullis

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: E J Walsh⁽³⁾| T: D M Loughnane

100/1

Half-brother to the useful sprinter Koropick but yard not known for maiden winners and on that, is best watched today.

Form:

(8)

Jawshan¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: A Mullen| T: G Peckham

33/1

Price increased through the ring from yearling to 2yo, good debut at Lingfield when encountering a bit of trouble in running but still coming through late for second. Plenty to like about that and should be on the premises here.

Form: 2

(4)

Magical Sight¹¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: W Buick| T: W J Haggas| BF

5/6

Was made favourite for debut at Yarmouth in April but disappointed, weakening out of things to finish seventh. Not seen since, so given a bit of time, and yard have a 19% strike rate with their 3yos here. Market probably the best guide.

Form: 7

(2)

Rewaayat¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Jim Crowley| T: C Hills

8/1

Some smart 6f-7f performers on the dam's side of the pedigree, and he has shown some ability on both his starts, looking ready for this step up to a mile after making late progress for third at Chelmsford last time. Needs more here, though.

Form: 9-3

(7)

Spirit Of Buxted²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Marco Ghiani⁽⁷⁾| T: L M Cumani

14/1

Showed little on debut in June but clearly learnt plenty from that when a close third at Lingifeld last time, slowly away but coming home well for third. Extra furlong here looks a plus and he holds a chance in an open contest.

Form: 83

(5)

Wajdy^h²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Callum Shepherd| T: Andi Brown

200/1

Finished a well-beaten last of nine on debut in a Leicester seller and can't be looked at as the likely winner on that.

Form: 9

(1)

Existential⁶⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: H Crouch| T: C G Cox

4/1

Breeding says she'll want a bit further but no knocking her form over a mile so far, tried to make all at Newbury last time out but one-paced late on. That form solid, however (fourth twice a winner since) and she sets the standard here.

Form: 83

(6)

Peggy Mckay⁵³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Liam Keniry| T: A M Balding

8/1

Cost 135,000gns as a yearling, nice pedigree and she showed plenty of ability when not knocked about in finishing fourth at Windsor on debut in June. Should progress on that, and another with e/w chances if she does.

Form: 4

Result Amended

Jawshan - Original Position 5th. Amended Position 4th.

Rewaayat - Original Position 4th. Amended Position 5th.

Forecasts

Magical Sight (5/6), Existential (4/1), Rewaayat (8/1), Peggy Mckay (8/1), Chiefdom (8/1), Spirit Of Buxted (14/1), Jawshan (33/1), Ice Cool Cullis (100/1), Admiral Anson (200/1), Wajdy (200/1)

If the market spoke heavily in favour of Magical Sight then that would have to be taken notice of, as better was clearly expected on her debut back in April and she's been given time. It's possible she'll leave that form well behind, but as it stands, preference is for EXISTENTIAL, whose latest piece of form looks very strong. Chiefdom looks an interesting newcomer, and both Peggy McKay and Jawshan look likely improvers.
