Muscika^v²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-1| J: F Norton| T: D O'Meara| OR: 91| D

4/1

Just denied over C&D last month and might have found next run coming too soon when fifth of 7 in handicap (4/1) at Nottingham (6.1f, good) 21 days ago. Can make presence felt.

Form: 846025

Magical Wish¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R Hannon| OR: 91| D

5/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2020. Fifteenth of 28 in handicap (100/1) at Royal Ascot (7f, firm) 14 days ago, having hopeless task from position. Chance if rediscovering old form.

11/1

5 wins from 7 runs this year. Latest win at Wolverhampton in March. 5/2, excuses when 6 lengths fourth of 5 to Top Breeze in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 28 days ago. Rare start on turf.

11/4

Course winner. Off 7 months and gelded, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Windsor (6f, good, 9/1) 31 days ago, beating a subsequent winner. Must be respected.

9/1

5/1, career best when winning 5-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 28 days ago, keeping on well. Should remain competitive now he's back in form.

Mamillius⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Shepherd| T: George Baker| OR: 78| D

11/2

Latest win at Brighton in May. 8/1, good second in handicap at Brighton (7f, good to soft) 9 days ago, narrowly denied by one that raced on the seemingly favoured stand side. Big player off same mark.

Form: 422142

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Charlie Bennett| T: P Phelan| OR: 71| D

6/1

Respectable 3½ lengths third of 7 to Tomouh in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 22/1) on return 17 days ago. Has work to do.

Forecasts

Tomouh (9/4), Indian Creak (11/4), Muscika (4/1), Magical Wish (5/1), Mamillius (11/2), Epsom Faithfull (6/1), Top Breeze (9/1), Power Over Me (11/1)

MAMILLIUS emerged with plenty of credit when just denied by one that raced on the seemingly favoured stand side at Brighton 9 days ago so rates a serious player off the same mark. Muscika had excuses last time and was only just denied by the now-smart Ejtilaab over C&D on Derby Day, so he looks the chief danger.
