Production¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: R L Moore| T: R Hannon| OR: 81| D

8/1

Gained a first win since debut at Redcar last time out when stepped up in trip and winning with plenty in hand. Could have plenty more to give and only raised 5lb for that effort; leading claims.

Form: 30-8551

Light Up Our Stars⁵³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Kerrin McEvoy| T: R Hughes| OR: 80

16/1

Improved from his reappearance to win at Chepstow in good style in May. This race is plenty tougher but he was conceding weight to those in behind and won well; can't be ruled out from a workable opening handicap mark.

Form: 0-61

(4)

Amjaady²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: James Doyle| T: Owen Burrows| OR: 79| D

5/1

Shaped with promise in novice event on AW as a juvenile and took a big step forward from his reappearance when winning at Leicester last time. Didn't get it all his own way that day either so should go well from just a 4lb higher handicap mark.

Form: 333-81

(6)

Madeeh¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Jim Crowley| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 78

4/1

Promise in all three starts and only beaten 1L in a maiden last time out at Beverley. Handicap mark is fair and every chance he's got more to come given his connections.

Form: 4-52

(7)

Marronnier^t²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: A Kirby| T: S C Williams| OR: 77

9/1

Won a novice event as a juvenile and shaped as if need of the run when a 2L third at Yarmouth on his reappearance. Return to quicker ground could suit too and he's a live player here.

Form: 341-3

(5)

Navigate By Stars^p³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Jane Elliott⁽³⁾| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 75| BF| D

25/1

Won at Pontefract in her second start in a handicap but couldn't justify favouritism under a penalty last time out. Others preferred in a race of this depth.

Form: 37-4614

(3)

Pempie²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 73| D

3/1

Possibly unsuited by soft ground last time out but had been in good form prior to that, winning at Salisbury following on from a creditable effort on handicap debut at Windsor. May bounce back.

Form: 95-8214

Tribal Commander⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: M Dwyer| T: Ian Williams| OR: 70

33/1

Yet to win in six starts and shown nothing in two outings for this yard. Plenty to prove at present.

Form: 2309-P9

Dreamweaver⁶³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: E Walker| OR: 67| D

11/4

Well beaten on each of his first three starts but left that form behind when returning for handicap debut at Goodwood when stepped up to a similar trip. Progress on the cards here and not ruled out.

Form: 096-1

Forecasts

Dreamweaver (11/4), Pempie (3/1), Madeeh (4/1), Amjaady (5/1), Sashenka (7/1), Production (8/1), Marronnier (9/1), Fraser Island (10/1), Light Up Our Stars (16/1), Artistic Language (16/1), Navigate By Stars (25/1), Tribal Commander (33/1)

A host of unexposed three-year-olds here but the slight preference is for AMJAADY who won better than the margin suggested last time out. Similar can be said for Production who gets the services of Ryan Moore. Light Up Our Stars has been given a fair opening mark and must have solid each-way claims while Dreamweaver should be capable of further progress.
