Geological¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: Rory Cleary| T: D English| OR: 84| CD

7/1

11th of 14 in this contest 12-months ago. Gallant front-runner who always runs his race on both turf and here where he is a dual C&D winner. Racing 1lb higher than last winning mark and capable of a big run.

Arcanears⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Ben Coen⁽⁷⁾| T: M Halford| OR: 83| D

Wajeez¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: J A Heffernan| T: D Hogan| OR: 83

16/1

Very lightly raced gelding formerly with John Gosden who has clearly had his problems. Ran well on return to action at Limerick before disappointing at Naas in a couple of starts last month. Others hold stronger profiles.

Form: 17/20

(11)

Amanaat^t⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-6| J: K J Leonard⁽³⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 78

16/1

Running well in defeat on turf over the summer but needs to raise overall performance to add to his sole AW success at Kempton when with John Gosden.

Form: 022724

Age: 6| Weight: 8-6| J: A J Slattery⁽⁷⁾| T: A Slattery| OR: 78| CD

14/1

Finished ¾L ahead of Arcanears over 5½L at Navan last month off a 5lb lower mark. C&D winner, though that was over four years ago in a two-year-old maiden. Entitled to make the shortlist.

Form: 075051

Fit For Function^p1⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-4| J: N G McCullagh| T: J G Murphy| OR: 76| C| D

7/1

Course winner that has also won over this trip. Finished 2L behind ready winner Luna's Luck over 7f here last month and any repeat of that run in first-time cheekpieces puts him in the mix here.

Form: 705844

(7)

Bay Of Skaill^e/s1,h⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-4| J: Sean Davis⁽⁵⁾| T: J G Murphy| OR: 76| BF

Form: 401293

Forecasts

Admirality (13/8), Freescape (13/2), Geological (7/1), Fit For Function (7/1), Spanish Tenor (10/1), Arcanears (10/1), Bay Of Skaill (12/1), Sors (14/1), Amanaat (16/1), Wajeez (16/1), Mr Scarlet (25/1)

Jockey Shane Foley can settle ADMIRALITY just off the pace of perennial front-runner Geological, making his move to land the spoils here to build on his second of 11, beaten in the final strides over 7f on his AW debut here last month. With the stable usually going well at this venue around this time of year, the Mick Halford-trained Arcanears can transpire to be the biggest danger to the selection, while Sors and the gallant Geological can battle for the remaining place.
