11/4

Progressive sort who got the better of Highland Avenue in 7f Kempton novice in December. Headed late when second over C&D on handicap/seasonal debut and remains with potential. Strong claims.

Form: 021-2

Third Kingdom⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: David Egan| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 88| BF| D

4/1

Off the mark with a minimum of fuss on third in maiden at Newcastle on final outing last season. Shaped as if he'd strip fitter for his reappearance, so remains with plenty of potential.

Form: 331-5

Il Bandito²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: R L Moore| T: C Hills| OR: 84| BF| D

7/2

Opened account in good style in 7f Newcastle maiden last autumn and resumed winning ways in handicap over slightly at Haydock in May. Good effort there last time but needs more improvement.

Form: 221-312

Bowman⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: L Dettori| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 83| D

20/1

Landed a handicap at Lingfield on reappearance that's working out very well and, while below form both subsequent starts, he had an excuse on latest. Not totally ruled out.

Form: 400-160

Fantasy Master¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Rob Hornby| T: M Appleby| OR: 80

14/1

Back on track under this rider on last 2 starts, particularly his third of 19 in Holyroodhouse at Royal Ascot (looked unlucky). Longer trip is a concern. Engaged 7.08 Haydock Friday.

Form: 14-2043

Farasi Lane^p¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Tom Marquand| T: T Ward| OR: 80| D

7/1

AW winner last November and holding form so far this term, albeit without looking particularly well treated. Cheekpieces back on but he's vulnerable to less-exposed rivals.

Form: 331-252

(6)

Onaraggatip^p⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: K T O'Neill| T: B R Millman| OR: 73

16/1

Back on his game at Leicester 9 days ago but he's a tricky sort who often starts slowly, so most of the others make more appeal.

Form: 44-8404

(8)

North Of Amazing¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: Jane Elliott| T: K R Burke| OR: 73

22/1

Lightly-raced maiden who has been a bit underwhelming so far this term. Temperament under suspicion so doesn't make much appeal in a race like this.

Form: 082-345

(7)

Typical Man^p1,h1¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: Ian Williams| OR: 72| BF| D

13/2

Winner at Doncaster in May and proved he can get competitive from reassessed mark when second at Newbury 11 days ago. Could do better still with hood/cheekpieces applied.

Form: 57-5152

Run To Freedom (11/4), Il Bandito (7/2), Third Kingdom (4/1), Typical Man (13/2), Farasi Lane (7/1), Fantasy Master (14/1), Onaraggatip (16/1), Bowman (20/1), North Of Amazing (22/1)

RUN TO FREEDOM shaped well on his handicap debut after six months off over course and distance last month where he was a little keen in the early stages and probably got to the front too soon. He was headed only close home but left the impression he is on a fair mark, so is well worth supporting following a 3 lb rise. Fantasy Master, who caught the eye last time, and Il Bandito are feared most.
