Brando¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 110| CD

50/1

C&D winner having his fourth run in this (second to The Tin Man in 2018). Hasn't looked the force of old this season and needs a big revival.

Form: 44-5266

(11)

Dream Of Dreams²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Oisin Murphy| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 120| CD

5/2

Went close on return in the Diamond Jubilee before resuming winning ways in taking style in the Hungerford (7f) at Newbury last month. Down the field in this last year but is a C&D winner. Big chance.

Form: 2080-21

Glen Shiel²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 108| D

25/1

On a roll this summer, making it 3 wins from his last 4 starts over 6f in the Group 3 Phoenix Stakes at the Curragh last month. Plenty more needed now tackling a Group 1 but he could sneak a place.

Form: 201211

Hello Youmzain²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 118| CD

9/2

Saw off The Tin Man for glory in this 12 months ago and successful in the Diamond Jubilee from Dream of Dreams on return. Fine effort in the Prix Maurice de Gheest latest and looks set for a big run.

Form: 318-152

Summerghand^p⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: W Buick| T: D O'Meara| OR: 113| BF| CD

33/1

C&D winner who finally bagged a big handicap in last month's Stewards' Cup fitted with first-time cheekpieces. Not so good at Newmarket since though, and has his first crack at a Group 1 now.

Form: 221612

Tabdeed⁴⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Jim Crowley| T: Owen Burrows| OR: 112| D

9/1

Fragile but talented 5-y-o who posted a career best when landing the Group 3 Hackwood over this trip in July, staying on well from The Tin Man. More needed here but that's not out of the question.

Form: 01/16-21

(1)

The Tin Man⁴⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 112| BF| CD

14/1

Cracking record in this, his form figures for the last 4 renewals reading 2312. Fine run behind Tabdeed in the Hackwood and seems sure to give his all again even if his very best days are behind him.

Form: 6720-72

Art Power¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: S De Sousa| T: T D Easterby| OR: 115| D

13/2

Made it 4 in a row in impressive style in 6f Group 3 in Ireland before a below-par showing in the Nunthorpe, well supported but never in it. Form has a strong look to it and he can get back on the up.

Form: 31-1116

(6)

Golden Horde²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox| OR: 117| D

13/2

Posted a cracking time when winning the Commonwealth Cup on his return and has run well in defeat taking on his elders in the July Cup and Prix Maurice de Gheest. Bold bid expected.

Form: 132-135

(13)

Lope Y Fernandez²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 117| D

15/2

Group 3 sprint winner at 2 yrs and even better form in defeat at the top level this season, placed in the Prix Jean Prat and Prix Maurice de Gheest in France the last twice. Got a big prize in him.

Form: 16-3023

(2)

Archer's Dream⁶²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Tom Marquand| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 103| CD

50/1

Back to winning ways with a career-best effort to win C&D event in the mud in July, holding on gamely. This is clearly much tougher but she's going in the right direction.

Form: 9710-71

(7)

Forever In Dreams^p²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Harry Bentley| T: A Fogarty| OR: 105| CD

40/1

Smart filly who has run well in the Greenlands and Phoenix Stakes over this trip at the Curragh this summer, third in a tight finish behind Glen Shiel latest. Plenty on her plate here.

Form: 73-6273

(3)

Queen Jo Jo¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: D Tudhope| T: K A Ryan| OR: 107| D

50/1

Stayed on strongly to win 6f York Group 3 in July and ran well behind all-the-way winner back there over 7f a fortnight ago. Will do well to pick these off on her first crack in Group 1 company.

Form: 13-2713

Forecasts

Dream Of Dreams (5/2), Hello Youmzain (9/2), Golden Horde (13/2), Art Power (13/2), Lope Y Fernandez (15/2), Tabdeed (9/1), The Tin Man (14/1), Glen Shiel (25/1), Summerghand (33/1), Forever In Dreams (40/1), Brando (50/1), Archer's Dream (50/1), Queen Jo Jo (50/1)

ART POWER didn't give his running in the Nunthorpe but had looked a really exciting prospect before that, winning 4 in a row in dominant fashion. This test is sure to suit him better and with 3-y-os having a good record in this Group 1 he's taken to get back on the up. Last year's winner Hello Youmzain looks primed for another big run, as do Dream of Dreams and the admirable Golden Horde.
