Champagne Marengo^p⁴^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: Ian Williams| OR: 60| D

4/5

Has been a revelation of late and completed a quick hat-trick when romping home in much better race over 2m at Ascot on Friday. Only 1lb higher even with his penalty and drop down to 1m6f not a problem judged on earlier win.

Form: 062111

Fantastic Ms Fox³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey| OR: 64| D

6/1

Beat Champagne Marengo a neck at Redcar in May and is 7lb better off as well, though that rival has improved leaps and bounds since. Again ran well when third at Doncaster behind Well Funded since and may have more to come.

Form: 3-56213

Lincoln Tale²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 64

10/1

Beat Fantastic Mr Fox on first start at 1m4f in May but form at that trip has plateaued since. Needs to find improvement stepping up 2f here.

Form: 6-31937

(5)

Yellow Label³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Joshua Bryan⁽³⁾| T: A M Balding| OR: 62

18/1

Probably unsuited bu soft ground when disappointing last time. Had been taking small steps forward prior to that and may get back on track at this trip and back on a sound surface.

Form: 87637

(3)

Well Funded³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Jane Elliott⁽³⁾| T: J D Bethell| OR: 60

6/1

Soft ground at this trip brought about best effort when gamely winning at Doncaster last month and little to choose between herself and third placed Fantastic Mr Fox on that form. Only 3lb higher and may have more to come.

Form: 85-5331

(2)

Road To Paris⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Ryan Tate| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 56

11/2

Poor form in maidens and handicap debut in May but stable have turned a corner in past week and should be capable of much better. Market should reveal more.

Form: 006-0

Dinah Washington⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Hayley Turner| T: M L W Bell| OR: 52

16/1

Modest form in maidens at 1m and no better on handicap debut over 1m4f. Needs to improve dramatically for this further step up in trip.

Form: 7-687

(6)

Gloryella²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 45

100/1

Poor form in maidens and handicaps at huger odds at up tom 1m2f and impossible to make a case for from 10lb out of the weights.

Form: 05000

Forecasts

Champagne Marengo (4/5), Road To Paris (11/2), Well Funded (6/1), Fantastic Ms Fox (6/1), Lincoln Tale (10/1), Dinah Washington (16/1), Yellow Label (18/1), Gloryella (100/1)

CHAMPAGNE MARENGO is on a roll and his Ascot win last Friday represented his best form to date by some margin. Providing this doesn't come too soon he can complete the four timer with his old rival Fantastic Mr Fox perhaps the chief threat. Well Funded would prefer a softer surface but may be good enough for minor honours.
