Oh This Is Us²³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-12| J: D Allan| T: R Hannon| OR: 105| CD

7/1

Most consistent last year, winning 3 times. Hasn't found top form back on turf this summer, though, and he'll need a really smart effort under clear top weight.

Form: 9-54544

Crownthorpe³⁰⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Connor Murtagh⁽³⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 96| D

50/1

Back to winning ways at York (7.9f) last October in soft conditions to record his third win of the year. Returns with yard in good form but may need the outing (been off 309 days), career-high mark another barrier to further success.

Form: 1U36F1-

Magical Wish¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: P J McDonald| T: R Hannon| OR: 95| D

18/1

Successful return at Lingfield (7f) in March and back to that level when second of 17 at Glorious Goodwood last month. Has to enter the reckoning.

Form: 0-10902

(9)

Fleeting Prince¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: B A Curtis| T: C Hills| OR: 99

14/1

Has come up short at listed/pattern level but he is very useful and ran well in handicap company at Glorious Goodwood last time, which was his first attempt over 7f.

Form: 00-3454

Troubador²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: P Mulrennan| T: M Dods| OR: 98

14/1

Enjoyed a productive 2-y-o campaign, winning 4 times, and back on the up when second to progressive sort at Pontefract in June. Respectable fifth at Newmarket latest. This his first outing beyond 6f.

Form: 22-0205

Blackheath²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: Tom Marquand| T: E Walker| OR: 89| D

12/1

Useful sort who eked out a bit more improvement to get back to winning ways at Yarmouth(7f) in June. Never involved in Bunbury Cup at Newmarket and International at Ascot since but this a bit easier.

Form: 85-2100

(3)

Diocles Of Rome³¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: Rob Hornby| T: R M Beckett| OR: 87| CD

25/1

C&D winner (good to firm) in May 2019. Not at best when last seen in the autumn but can be competitive off this mark if ready to roll after 10 months off.

Ghalyoon³⁹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: Dane O'Neill| T: M P Tregoning| OR: 87| DWS

17/2

Very lightly raced 5-y-o who chased home Nazeef in Newmarket novice last summer before landing short odds at Salisbury. Absent for 13 months (had wind op) but remains a horse with lots of potential.

Form: 7/21-

Breanski²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-7| J: A Fresu| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 86| BF| CD

15/2

Dual 7f winner in 2019 and back to form when placed on last 3 starts. Ought to be in the shake-up again.

Form: 62-7323

(10)

Royal Residence⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-7| J: Shane Gray| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 84

150/1

Down the field in a couple of runs over 6f at Ripon for this yard. 2 lb out of handicap and hard to fancy

Form: 1340-07

Tinker Toy²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian| OR: 90| CD

11/10

Looked very promising when winning 7f novice events at Salisbury and here in July. Surely more to come and selected to make light of an opening mark of 90 and stretch unbeaten run to 3.

Young Fire¹⁵⁷

Weight: 8-12| Age: 5

T: D O'Meara J: D Tudhope

Forecasts

Tinker Toy (11/10), Oh This Is Us (7/1), Breanski (15/2), Ghalyoon (17/2), Blackheath (12/1), Fleeting Prince (14/1), Troubador (14/1), Young Fire (14/1), Magical Wish (18/1), Diocles Of Rome (25/1), Crownthorpe (50/1), Royal Residence (150/1)

A useful contest. TINKER TOY is inexperienced for a race of this nature but he looked very promising when winning both starts last month (the latter over C&D) and he's taken to remain unbeaten. Ghalyoon is another lightly raced sort who surely has more to come and heads the dangers along with recent Glorious Goodwood runner-up Magical Wish.
