Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Jason Watson| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 76| D

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: H Crouch| T: G & J Moore| OR: 77

Sprang a huge surprise in a Glorious Goodwood maiden on debut but has now proved regressive in four starts since.

Form: 13-337

De Vegas Kid¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Poppy Bridgwater⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 73| CD

11/2

Enjoyed a fine run of form winning five of his last seven including one over this C&D. Held off new mark at Epsom and may be in the grip of the handicapper now.

Form: 113117

(5)

Rampant Lion¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 75| D

7/1

Seemed unsuited by an AW surface at Chelmsford and better judged on stylish Hamilton win. Possibly better suited by cut in the ground but is respected.

Form: 344519

Zaajer²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Dane O'Neill| T: Owen Burrows| OR: 75| BF

9/2

Maiden who has run to a consistent level without improving in seven starts. Can go well again but a bit more required for win purposes.

Form: 45-3534

(2)

Agar's Plough^b²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Charles Bishop| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 74

8/1

11-race maiden has shown some decent form on the AW and a quick turf surface. Bit to find with The Warrior and on this slower ground.

Form: 663025

(9)

Fieldsman⁹^{(ex 6)}

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: Tom Marquand| T: D C Griffiths| OR: 62| CD

12/1

Gained his first win since May 2016 when scoring over this C&D. Up in grade and 3lb in the weights makes life tougher.

Form: 220601

Chloris²⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: J F Egan| T: E F Vaughan| OR: 69

40/1

Showed promise in her first two starts for John Gosden before a disappointing effort. Stable and turf debut on first run following an absence and best watched unless significant market support.

Form: 6-36

(10)

Rivas Rob Roy¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Charlie Bennett| T: J Gallagher| OR: 64| C

33/1

Needs to put behind two disappointing performances since losing his maiden tag here and also needs to prove his stamina at this trip. Others look stronger.

Form: 5-49179

Forecasts

Zaajer (9/2), Zeshov (5/1), De Vegas Kid (11/2), Thechildren'strust (13/2), Rampant Lion (7/1), Agar's Plough (8/1), Dreaming Of Paris (17/2), The Warrior (9/1), Fieldsman (12/1), Rivas Rob Roy (33/1), Chloris (40/1)

It would be no surprise to see Rampant Lion return back to the promise of his breakthrough success and he has more to offer on turf. The Warrior can be an infrequent winner but should be involved while preference is for ZESHOV who continues to put in the good performances and really battled on well last time to make it two wins from his last four starts. That was right up there with his very best career form and is taken to folllow up.
