Golden Iris^p¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: R Kingscote| T: J G Portman| OR: 76

8/1

Only one previous run on the AW and that was a winning debut at Lingfield. Good runs the last twice and only narrowly failed at Windsor. Down in grade and likely to go close.

Form: 142842

Warmhearted¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 74| D

10/1

Had proved progressive progressive on quick ground before disappointing on an easier surface at Newbury. However looked a tricky ride there and needs to bounce back on AW debut.

Form: 572128

Brigand¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Tim Clark⁽³⁾| T: J Butler| OR: 73

50/1

Had raced well previously for William Haggas but best watched after being beaten a long way out and eventually tailed off on stable debut.

Form: 17-8320

Demons And Wizards²⁵⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: M Dwyer| T: S Kirk| OR: 73| BF

33/1

Not seen since December 2017 when progressive in five starts without winning. Absence to overcome on handicap debut but would be interesting with support.

Equidae¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: L Morris| T: J Tate| OR: 71

16/1

Returned from a lengthy absence when showing promise over this C&D. Looked likely to improve for the run and now going handicapping. Rates a leading contender.

Form: 20-4

Exeat²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 70

2/1

Improved with every run so far and got involved in a pace battle when fourth over this C&D on handicap debut. Gets a pull at the weights with Goodwood Showman and should only progress again.

Form: 0334

Goodwood Showman²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S De Sousa| T: W J Knight| OR: 69

2/1

Improved performance when second over this C&D following a wind operation, running on well off a strong pace. Could get race run to suit again and likely there's more to come. Looks a main player.

Form: 05-502

Early Dawn²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Gabriele Malune⁽⁵⁾| T: M Botti| OR: 69

33/1

Returned from 405 fays off when a well held sixth over 7f here. Big improvement required on handicap debut but the extra distance will help and her stable are in very good form. Worth a market check.

Form: 44-6

(10)

Antagonist⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Adam J McNamara⁽³⁾| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 69

25/1

Showed promise in his first three starts but has subsequently failed to beat a horse home in two handicaps when slowly away on both occasions. Looks a risky betting proposition at present.

Form: 647-07

(3)

Sarstedt⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: M Harley| T: H Candy| OR: 67

10/1

Seven-race maiden and hard still to know what his best trip is. Showed promise on return from absence but below that level last time. Could improve for drop back in distance but others look more solid.

Form: 2405-46

(12)

Zamandas¹²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: David Egan| T: R Varian| OR: 66

10/1

Well bred half-brother to Zamyran who showed promise on debut, ran in a hot race next time out but was never a factor at Windsor in May. Makes handicap debut on return and trainer a master at improving horses, however likely to need further in time.

Form: 0-49

(7)

Towelrads Boy^t²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: David Probert| T: P & O Cole| OR: 65

50/1

Has disappointed in five starts since his win including on his latest run when well backed and down in class. Hard to recommend at present.

Form: 1-70058

Forecasts

Goodwood Showman (2/1), Exeat (2/1), Golden Iris (8/1), Warmhearted (10/1), Zamandas (10/1), Sarstedt (10/1), Allegiant (10/1), Equidae (16/1), Sharg (20/1), Antagonist (25/1), Early Dawn (33/1), Demons And Wizards (33/1), Towelrads Boy (50/1), Brigand (50/1)

Goodwood Showman ran on really well for a second over this C&D and that looks a key form race with the well-drawn EXEAT narrowly taken to reverse placings for a stable in top form at present. Down in class Golden Iris looks likely to be very competitive and should be suited by a return to an AW surface. Early Dawn, Demons And Wizards and particularly Allegiant should be noted in the betting on handicap debut while also having a first run in this company Equidae is proven on the surface and looked likely to improve nicely for his recent return.
