Ice Cave¹⁶²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Sean Kirrane⁽⁵⁾| T: S bin Suroor

11/4

Twice-raced and not showing signs of hefty price tag when regressive ninth in minor 6f event at Wolverhampton in May. Not seen since and probably best watched.

Form: 69

Montys Inn

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: J P Fahy| T: R Hannon

11/1

Kodiac colt out of an unraced dam closely related to Southern Halo. Progeny have excelled on the track with four winners, including four-time scorer Bayargal so can't be dismissed on debut.

Pentimento¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Kieren Fox| T: J R Best

5/6

Modest sixth on debut over 1m here in August and improved greatly for that effort when second at 33/1 in minor event at Chelmsford last time. Sets the form standard.

Form: 62

Prompting

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: E J Walsh| T: O Murphy

12/1

Bated Breath gelding. Half-brother to several top-class performers, including dual Group One winner One Master. Interesting pedigree so worth a look in the betting.

Rockstar Max²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: D C Costello| T: D J Coakley

33/1

Raced once but looked outpaced and never on terms at Lingfield (1m) just under a month ago. This looks a tall order.

Form: 8

Disturbing Beauty

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Ellie Mackenzie⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss N L-Beavis

150/1

Mazameer filly. Dam was maiden but stayed this trip.Half sister to 6f winner Berlin. Yard rarely fires with juveniles so best watched.

Molly's Game⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Hayley Turner| T: D R C Elsworth| OR: 62

9/1

Offers the most experience in the field but not looking like winning recently, including seventh in 6f Salisbury handicap last month. Plenty to prove at this trip.

A race in which most of the field remain unexposed, PENTIMENTO sets the form standard given his excellent Chelmsford second and with him outrunning his odds every time, there is likely more to come in this small field and is the one to beat. Montys Inn cannot be discounted given his excellent pedigree and his yard can turn one out for their debut, while Prompting has top-class performers in his pedigree and should run encouragingly on his debut.
