11/1

Had terrific AW winter campaign, winning 5 times. Off 5 months, shaped as if still in good form when fourth at Kempton on Wednesday but needs to show he can do it on turf.

13/2

Won a pair of nurseries last summer and made a satisfactory return when fourth in strong 3-y-o handicap on Rowley course here. Too free up at 7f on AW since and respected back sprinting. Had wind op.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: S W Kelly| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 82| D

12/1

Steady improver on AW over the winter and continued the good work back on turf when neck second at Newbury (6f) in July. Best not judged too harshly on latest run over 7f at Ascot. Player.

Glenn Coco^t³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Callum Shepherd| T: S C Williams| OR: 79

22/1

Probably needed the run back from 4 months off here (7f) 5 weeks ago but losing run now at 12. All wins at 7f/1m but he as third in this in 2018.

Form: 4-25450

Buccaneers Vault²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: Megan Nicholls⁽³⁾| T: P T Midgley| OR: 78| D

11/1

Latest win at Redcar in June and creditable in-frame efforts both starts since. Ought to give his running again.

Form: 13-7134

(6)

Clareyblue^b²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: R Kingscote| T: M Meade| OR: 82| BF

6/1

Winner of AW novice at Newcastle in January. Yet to progress in handicaps since but bit better in blinkers last twice and this step back up to 6f may help. On the shortlist.

Form: 2-14462

(7)

Case Key³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 8-10| J: Angus Villiers⁽⁵⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 72| CD

13/2

Back to winning ways at Leicester (6f, good to firm) in June and just as good when runner-up at Yarmouth since. Should give a good account as he goes in search of a third win in this race.

Form: 578-912

(9)

My Style^b⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Georgia Dobie⁽⁵⁾| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 72

4/1

4/1 and blinkered first time, good second of 7 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, firm) 9 days ago. Claims if the headgear works a second time.

Form: 533-572

(2)

Angel Grey²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Raul Da Silva| T: A M Balding| OR: 74| D

28/1

Took a step back in the right direction when fourth of 6 at Leicester (7f) 29 days ago but she was off the bridle a long way out. Others preferred now returning to sprinting.

Form: 130-094

(8)

Lethal Angel^p¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-6| J: Marco Ghiani⁽⁵⁾| T: S C Williams| OR: 68| D

14/1

On the premises (fourth - behind Case Key and My Style) in this race last year; now rated 2lb lower, but hasn't really shaped like a future winner in waiting; stablemate of Revolutionise and Glenn Coco.

Form: 51-0445

(3)

Ugo Gregory^b²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-2| J: Nathan Evans| T: T D Easterby| OR: 64| D

13/2

Yet to build on encouraging reappearance third at Ripon but he can have a line put through latest run at York as he met trouble around halfway. Eased another 2 lb.

Form: 646-349

Forecasts

My Style (4/1), Clareyblue (6/1), Endowed (13/2), Ugo Gregory (13/2), Case Key (13/2), Buccaneers Vault (11/1), Split Down South (11/1), Rock Boy Grey (12/1), Lethal Angel (14/1), Glenn Coco (22/1), Angel Grey (28/1), Revolutionise (33/1)

ROCK BOY GREY's improvement this year has come at 6f so it's perhaps best to put a line through his latest run over 7f at Ascot and he may prove the answer to this competitive sprint. Case Key is attempting to land this race for a third time and arrives in good form so should figure prominently again. 3-y-os Endowed and Clareyblue also make the shortlist.
