7/1
Useful form for Roger Varian last summer but only fair form at best over hurdles for this yard. Off 7 months. Cheekpieces back on.

Seventh of 9 in minor event at Royal Ascot (21.6f, good to soft, 14/1) 67 days ago. Down in trip and no doubt he's on a potentially handy mark.

7/2
Fairly useful hurdler/winning chaser who was a good fifth in Queen Alexandra Stakes at Royal Ascot but has failed to make an impact back in handicaps since.

Latest win at Sandown in June. 50/1, good fifth of 15 in handicap at Goodwood (20.6f, good) 28 days ago. Back down in trip. This less competitive.

10/3
Hinted strongly at a revival when fourth of 9 in handicap at Beverley (16.2f). Race not run to suit next time and worth another chance having dipped below last winning mark.

Forecasts

Pleasure Garden (11/8), Author's Dream (3/1), Fun Mac (3/1), Graceful Lady (10/3), Its'afreebee (7/2), Prefontaine (7/1), Casa Comigo (8/1)

Verdict

GRACEFUL LADY wasn't seen to best effect at Ripon last time and is worth another chance having hinted at a revival at Beverley previously. Author's Dream arrives on the back of a good run at Glorious Goodwood and needs considering, while Pleasure Garden is bound to be popular again having won 4 of his last 5 starts in handicaps.

  1. GRACEFUL LADY
  2. AUTHOR'S DREAM
  3. PLEASURE GARDEN (USA)
