Alexej³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 89| D

4/6

Promising type. Winning debut at Leicester (7f) last month and useful effort in defeat on this surface at Newcastle (1m) since. Very hard to beat here.

Form: 13

Heer At Last²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: A Kirby| T: J Butler

250/1

Twice-raced maiden. Eighth of 9 in novice at Kempton (7f, 125/1) 27 days ago. Surely booked for another struggle.

Form: 08

(7)

Frankie Jaz¹¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Joey Haynes| T: S Pearce

300/1

Twice-raced maiden. Seventh of 9 in minor event at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 125/1). Off 113 days.

Form: 07

(6)

Good Humor

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: R Kingscote| T: R Varian

7/2

Distorted Humor gelding. Brother to useful 2-y-o 7f/7.4f winner Mot Juste and half-brother to 2-y-o 1m winner Moontime and 1½m winner Balancing Time. Makes plenty of appeal on paper.

Faadiyah³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Charlie Bennett| T: A West| BF

20/1

Second on Chester debut and possibly unsuited by very testing ground when only seventh at Redcar since. Even a return to debut form unlikely to be enough to trouble favourite.

Form: 27

(5)

Fair Praise¹¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: K Shoemark| T: C G Cox

50/1

Modest form in a couple of runs over 7f on turf in the summer. Will need to return with a much improved effort.

Form: 77

Silent Escape

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: H Crouch| T: S bin Suroor

10/3

New Approach filly. Closely related to 1½m winner Forest View and half-sister to 7f/1m winner Gentle Look. Very interesting to see how she goes in the betting.

Forecasts

Alexej (4/6), Silent Escape (10/3), Good Humor (7/2), Faadiyah (20/1), Fair Praise (50/1), Heer At Last (250/1), Frankie Jaz (300/1)

ALEXEJ sets the bar pretty high, particularly with the drop back to 7f likely to play to his strengths. Newcomers Good Humor and Silent Escape are likely types on paper but they will need to be useful to give the selection something to think about.
