Having his first outing on turf when getting off the mark in 1½m 16-runner York handicap in May, doing it easily. Also very impressive at Newmarket and there should be more to come.

Successful twice in the second half of 2020 and nothing wrong with a brace of place efforts in recent weeks, Assessor has him about right, though.

Showed some improvement when winning 6-runner handicap at Brighton in May. Firmer ground possibly against him at Goodwood next time, so may get back on the up here.

Triple AW Flat winner for Harry Fry in 2018 but very lightly raced since. No match for Spanish kiss at Newmarket but that was still a more encouraging run.

Ex-French gelding who was in top form in 2018, finishing fourth in the Cesarewitch. Lightly raced since and didn't show a great deal in 2020 renewal.

Forecasts

Spanish Kiss (6/4), Future Investment (7/2), Ispahan (6/1), Indianapolis (7/1), Just In Time (8/1), Buriram (16/1), Vindolanda (20/1), Vis A Vis (50/1), American Gigolo (50/1)

Verdict

SPANISH KISS is a handicapper going places and, despite an 8 lb rise, he may well still be ahead of the game. Ispahan has a quirk or two but may still may have a bigger effort in him, so is offered as the main danger.

  1. SPANISH KISS
  2. ISPAHAN
  3. JUST IN TIME
