7/1

Winner at Lingfield in June who (22/1) got back on track when third of 9 in handicap at Ascot (6f, good to soft) 21 days ago. This demands even more though.

18/1

Fairly useful 6f winner in 2019 but has proved hit and miss this term, only eleventh of 14 at Goodwood (6f, heavy) 12 days ago. Blinkers reached for now with bit to prove.

13/2

Took this race 12 months ago but has failed to make the frame in eight runs this term, respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at Catterick (5f, heavy) 6 days ago. On handy mark if bouncing back to best.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Ellie Mackenzie⁽⁷⁾| T: H Main| OR: 82

9/1

Forecasts

Punchbowl Flyer (4/1), Eye Of The Water (4/1), Teruntum Star (13/2), Rock Boy Grey (13/2), Roundhay Park (7/1), Additional (7/1), Whelans Way (15/2), Colonel Whitehead (9/1), Zig Zag Zyggy (16/1), Via Serendipity (16/1), Diamond Dougal (18/1), Lihou (22/1), Lomu (33/1)

Lots with chances but PUNCHBOWL FLYER revelled in the soft ground when scoring at Windsor so is fancied to follow up turned out under a 6 lb penalty with underfoot conditions again to his favour. Fellow 3-y-o Colonel Whitehead is sure to pose a big threat in his hat-trick bid, while Zig Zag Zyggy and last year's winner Teruntum Star are also well worth a second look.
