Army Of India²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 82| D

13/2

Dual 6f winner in 2020 but he arrives out of form, last of 8 in handicap (17/2) at Kempton (6f) 25 days ago. Others are more persuasive.

Baba Reza^t¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: David Probert| T: M Moubarak| OR: 78| C| D

5/2

Latest win at Lingfield in April but below form eleventh of 19 in handicap at Royal Ascot (5f, soft) 16 days ago. Course winner so could easily bounce back here.

Form: 2-46140

Praise Of Shadows^h³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Tom Marquand| T: M Botti| OR: 76

17/2

Winless since his debut but not disgraced in first-time hood when fourth of 6 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) 33 days ago. Makes polytrack debut and can't be ruled out.

Form: 65-3384

(4)

Mashaan¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J Mitchell| T: R A Fahey| OR: 73

12/1

Went backwards from his debut when eighth of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Makes polytrack debut and lots more needed if he's to open his account.

Form: 2226-38

(5)

Mr Fayez^h1⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Danny Brock| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 70| BF

14/1

First run since leaving Miss Natalia Lupini when only seventh of 9 in maiden at Yarmouth (6f, good) 46 days ago. Hood on for handicap debut with plenty to prove.

Form: 82597-7

(6)

Berrtie⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Grace McEntee⁽⁵⁾| T: P S McEntee| OR: 70| BF| CD

3/1

Scored over C&D and at Yarmouth last month before good fourth off 11 lb higher mark at Kempton (6f, 15/8) 4 days ago. Looks the one to beat at the these weights.

Form: 00-7114

Forecasts

Baba Reza (5/2), Berrtie (3/1), Enduring (9/2), Army Of India (13/2), Praise Of Shadows (17/2), Mashaan (12/1), Mr Fayez (14/1)

BERRTIE arrives in great order and is weighted to notch up a third win of 2021 and second over C&D at the chief expense of Enduring, who goes very well on synthetic surfaces and should build on his recent Doncaster fourth. Baba Reza can boast a course win and enters the mix too dropped in grade after finishing in midfield at Royal Ascot.
