11/10

Group 2 winner who won the Listed Wolferton Stakes at this season's Royal Ascot meeting (in first-time cheekpieces). Best off at the weights here on official ratings, and runner-up back in Group 2 company last time marks him out as the one to beat.

Form: 803-412

All four of his wins have been over 1m2f, on varying ground. Yet to win in higher than a class 3, however, and this is tilting at windmills.

11/1

Listed winner at three. Unable to add to that in three runs this year, but went close in a Listed York event in June. Well held in an Ascot Group 2 last time. Others preferred.

Form: 911-826

Pondus²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 105| D

5/1

Scored at both Nottingham (1m2f, soft) and Sandown (1m2f, good to firm; under penalty) in novices' company in May. Didn't handle the step up to Group 2 level next time, but beaten only 1L in Listed Newbury event last time. Each-way appeal.

2/1

Looked to be destined for better things when the comfortable winner of a Newmarket Listed event in May. Well held in the Prix du Jockey Club last time, but this is more realistic. Each-way player.

Form: 2-110

Surrey Thunder³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Harry Bentley| T: J Tuite| OR: 106

10/1

Won a Windsor novice event last October (1m, soft). Has been campaigned abroad so far this year, being placed in two Group 3 events, and beaten just over 4L in the Group 1 Deutsches Derby last time. This looks tougher.

Form: 31-2335

Forecasts

Addeybb (11/10), Raise You (2/1), Wissahickon (9/2), Pondus (5/1), Surrey Thunder (10/1), Wadilsafa (11/1), Lunar Jet (40/1)

An interesting contest, where Wissahickon gets the opportunity to continue his unbeaten stakes record, but tries this level on turf for the first time. While that surface shouldn't prove a problem, his opponent ADDEYBB may be. He has a few pounds in hand on official BHA ratings at these weights, and comes off the back of a good Group 2 effort last time. Raise You and Pondus should be the chief combatants for third place.
