5/1

Winner of 1m maiden here and rounded off his 2-y-o campaign with second in a French listed event (heavy). Ran well under top weight on belated return here last month and this trip should suit.

Form: 02212-6

Subjectivist¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 104

11/10

Had a busy campaign at 2 yrs but has developed into a smart 3-y-o, making all in a listed event at Hamilton. Lost little in defeat in Gordon Stakes here before not seen to best effect at York.

Form: 7-32137

Cabaletta²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: David Egan| T: R Varian| OR: 106

9/4

Improving filly who did well to win a listed race at Newbury (12f) from poor position. Acquitted herself well behind a smart older mare in Lillie Langtry over this C&D since and remains unexposed.

Form: 1-2412

(2)

Table Mountain³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Raul Da Silva| T: A M Balding| OR: 91

15/2

Has massively improved since being upped to 2m, including when forging clear from 5 lb 'wrong' at the weights at Ascot 5 weeks ago. Drop back in trip looks a negative tackling this company, though.

Form: 0-4421

Subjectivist (11/10), Cabaletta (9/4), Celtic Art (5/1), Table Mountain (15/2)

The Great Voltigeur at York was more of a test of finishing speed than stamina at the trip, which didn't suit SUBJECTIVIST, and he's taken to bounce back having run a cracker in the Gordon Stakes here the time before. All 3 of his rivals are potential threats, particularly Cabaletta, who ran well in the Lille Langtry over C&D 4 weeks ago.
