7/4
Has rattled off an AW hat-trick, including one here, since beaten on debut and won with something in hand at Southwell last week. Up another 6lb but looks like there should be more to come and sets the standard.

Won on Ascot debut in May but stiff tasks when unplaced on return visit to the Royal meeting and then Sandown. Absent since the summer but stable fully capable of getting them ready after a break and respected especially if market speaks positively.

Front-runner who held her form really well as a juvenile at the minimum but may have found this extra furlong stretching her when third on comeback run and others preferred at this trip.

Seems to have improved for switch to this venue of late and although well placed when beating Electric Ladyland last time he showed a good attitude though this stronger race demands more.

5/2
Didn't need to improve to get off the mark at Dundalk over 7f last time and has form at this shorter trip. Now makes handicap debut for trainer who is doing well with his English raiders this week.

Forecasts

Will To Win (7/4), Never Before (5/2), Expressionist (3/1), Dazzling Des (8/1), Electric Ladyland (10/1)

Verdict

WILL TO WIN has looked a really progressive sprinter of late and he can follow up his smooth Southwell win last week in this stronger contest. The market should reveal plenty about Expressionist but he was highly tried when last seen and no surprise should he bounce back. Never Before is hard to assess with confidence on first run in this country but must be respected from his in-form yard.
  1. Will To Win
  2. Expressionist
  3. Never Before
