Arecibo²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: L Dettori| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 99| CD

85/40

Useful sprinter who cashed in on a career-low mark for new yard over C&D on return. Not seen to best effect (met trouble) when sixth in the Palace House Stakes last time, so remains of interest.

Form: 2477-16

Age: 8| Weight: 9-11| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 96| D

8/1

Four-time winner on turf last season. Cut some slack by the handicapper and ran respectably without being seen to best effect when third of 5 at Goodwood (5f) 3 weeks ago.

Form: 362483

Lethal Lunch^t²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Dylan Hogan⁽³⁾| T: M L W Bell| OR: 92

Form: 515802

Ishvara^p³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: James Doyle| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 88| D

14/1

Last of 14 in listed race at Bath (5f, good to firm) on reappearance 36 days ago, but more realistic chance now back in handicap. James Doyle does the steering.

Form: 22020-0

Additional³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Rob Hornby| T: M Meade| OR: 88

2/1

7f novice winner last term who ran up to his best when fourth in 6f handicap here on reappearance 38 days ago. Boasts a smart pedigree and could yet do better.

Form: 18939-4

(2)

Benefit Street^v⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 78| CD

10/3

Proved as good as ever dropped back to 5f with the visor retained to gain a belated first handicap success over C&D last week. 2 lb out the weights in a stronger race here but can go well again.

Form: 85-5201

With Robert Cowell responsible for 4 of the 6 runners, he appears to hold the key. ARECIBO met trouble when not fully asked for his effort in the Palace House Stakes last time, so he remains of interest back in a handicap, especially having won in a good time over C&D on his penultimate start. Ishvara also looks interesting with James Doyle in the saddle.
