Operatic²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: James Doyle| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 87| D

10/1

Won 6f novice events at Windsor and Kempton in September. Good fourth at Goodwood on her return/handicap debut so can't be ruled out with that run under her belt.

Form: 8110-4

Letmelivemylife⁸⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A King| OR: 84

10/3

Improved effort on return when landing 8-runner handicap (7/2) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 87 days ago. Not dismissed if translating that form on turf debut.

Form: 133-1

(4)

Desert Gulf⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Callum Shepherd| T: W J Knight| OR: 84| D

16/1

Debut winner at Wolverhampton (6f) last September and in good form this term until well held on turf debut in 5f Royal Ascot handicap 6 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 14-360

(6)

Prince Of Abington³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: P Cosgrave| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 83| D

9/2

Dual 6f winner in 2020 who resumed with very good second of 9 in handicap (12/1) at Lingfield (6f, AW) 30 days ago. Ought to be competitive again.

Form: 6161-2

(7)

Great News⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Tom Marquand| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 81

5/1

Made winning bow in 7f Salisbury novice but only eighth of 13 in minor event at Newmarket (8f, good to soft) 41 days ago. May still do better now going into handicaps but others look better treated.

Form: 18

(2)

Walls of Kano¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: M Dwyer| T: B J Meehan| OR: 79

20/1

Displayed a good attitude when bagging 7f Salisbury novice but long way below that form when fourth in minor event there 16 days ago. More needed on his first venture into handicaps.

Form: 714

(5)

Akkeringa^t¹¹^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Marco Ghiani⁽³⁾| T: S C Williams| OR: 70| D

2/1

Gambled on when easily getting off the mark in 9-runner handicap (6/5) at Doncaster (6f, firm) 11 days ago. Holds leading claims under 6 lb penalty.

Form: 0-35231

Forecasts

Akkeringa (2/1), Letmelivemylife (10/3), Prince Of Abington (9/2), Great News (5/1), Operatic (10/1), Desert Gulf (16/1), Walls of Kano (20/1)

AKKERINGA gained his breakthrough win in some style at Doncaster earlier in the month and is impossible to oppose turned out under a 6 lb penalty here. Operatic should strip sharper for her encouraging Goodwood return so is feared most with in-form Prince of Abington appealing as the pick of the remainder.
