9/4

Led over 1f out when scoring easily in Newbury mile handicap last week and turns out agan under 5lb penalty. Won three times at this trip last term and could be dangerous if recent exertions haven't left their mark.

14/1

Made fine progress last term winning four handicap for Iain Jardine. Not hit the heights for current yard this season and well beaten over C&D, and last time at Ascot in International Handicap. Eased 2lb though and first-time visor may help.

9/2

Justified favouritism in two handicaps last summer at up to 1m1f. Little disappointing in three starts this spring and gelded since. First start back and drop in trip might prove challenging at this level.

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Georgia Cox⁽³⁾| T: W J Haggas| OR: 93| CD

11/10

Unraced last year as a juvenile but is 4-4 this campaign and could be anything. Brought along steadily and won C&D handicap in June off 75, then bolted up off 6lb higher at Chelmsford last month. Raised further 12lb but may still go close.

Won twice for Joseph O'Brien in 2016-17. Not seen for nearly 22 months, steps up in trip and fitness has to be a concern. More than likely to prove better for this return outing.

Forecasts

Nahaarr (11/10), Qaysar (9/4), Daarik (11/4), Ibraz (9/2), Alemaratalyoum (14/1), Great Prospector (14/1), Salateen (16/1), Duplication (33/1)

Although 3yo's have a poor record in this event it's hard to get away from the progressive profile of the unbeaten NAHAARR who couldn't have been more imnrpessive when running away from his rivals at Chelmsford last time. This is much tougher and he has been hit with a big rise in his mark, but he has every chance of going close in his bid for a five-timer. Great Prospector may prove a big danger to the selection back at his optimum trip. while Qaysar is another to have won well recently and should make his presence felt. Salateen is solid at this level, and Daarik is a potential improver returning from a break having been gelded.
