Dawn Treader¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Luke Catton⁽⁷⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 72

11/1

Some fair form last season but well beaten on his last three starts allover a mile. Step back in trip may help but looks an unlikely winner on all known form

Form: 429-80

Jungle Juice¹⁰^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Scott McCullagh⁽⁵⁾| T: M R Channon| OR: 66| CD

5/2

Has been busy all spring and summer winning once at Salisbury (6f) on an easy surface before winning last time out over course and distance by two lengths from Dancingwithwolves. Closely matched with Ed Dunlop's charge. The pair could dominate again

Form: 443171

11/4

Behind Jungle Juice over course and distance 10 days ago and weighted to get much closer this time.. Had been struggling a bit previously over longer trips and this looks his optimum distance.

Form: 4-42052

Just Later¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Adam J McNamara| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 68

7/1

Showed he had flourished over the winter when putting in a pleasing effort at Brighton late last month over seven furlongs. Needs to improve again to match the leading pair but not out of the question and is respected in this company.

Form: 432-4

Swiper²⁶⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Rossa Ryan| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 66

20/1

Some useful effort for Richard Hannon last season without winning but lost his way on his last two runs. With new connections, he is hard to assess first time out after a long break and market may be the best guide.

Atty's Edge⁵⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: T E Whelan| T: C Mason| OR: 62

33/1

Form of his final start as a juvenile was not too bad in the context of this race but showed little on his seasonal reappearance at Salisbury in a handicap. Needs to show he has truly trained on before being interesting as a betting proposition.

Form: 893-0

Glamorous Crescent¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Oisin Murphy| T: G Harris| OR: 59| CD

9/4

Has been fairly consistent since joining new connections culminating in a win over course and distance late last month. Will need to improve a few pounds to get serious here under her revised mark but in good heart and can't be easily ruled out.

Form: 65-3231

Deconso¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: Liam Jones| T: C N Kellett| OR: 53

25/1

Looks to be slowly coming to hand based on his last three runs at Ripon, Yarmouth and Wolverhampton. Should appreciate this step up in trip and possibly one for the shortlist.

Forecasts

Glamorous Crescent (9/4), Jungle Juice (5/2), Dancingwithwolves (11/4), Just Later (7/1), Dawn Treader (11/1), Swiper (20/1), Deconso (25/1), Gilt Edge (25/1), Atty's Edge (33/1)

This could come down to a duel between Jungle Juice and DANCINGWITHWOLVES with little between them based on their course and distance meeting ten days ago were the former won by two lengths. The feeling is the placings can be reversed with the latter the tentative selection. Deconso is interesting stepping up in trip for the first time in a while but may not want the ground too fast. Just Later needs to improve on her reappearance run at Brighton but is entitled to and is another to consider.
