Caspian Prince^t²⁸

Age: 12| Weight: 9-12| J: Theodore Ladd⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 104| D

16/1

Speedball veteran who showed there's plenty of life left in him when following up success at Beverley with a gutsy victory in the Gosforth Park Cup at Newcastle. Warrants respect in current mood.

Tis Marvellous^t¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: Hollie Doyle| T: C G Cox| OR: 102| CD

7/2

Acquitted himself well in Group company last year and enhanced a good course record when fourth to Significantly over C&D last time. Better off with that rival this time, so warrants respect.

Form: 128-944

Jawwaal²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: David Probert| T: M Dods| OR: 99| CD

4/1

Arrives on a hat-trick having completed a Doncaster double in cosy fashion 3 weeks ago. In terrific form right now and could take the beating if the pace is solid.

Form: 0-77511

Significantly¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 101| CD

9/4

Consistent colt who has upped his game to land big-field C&D handicaps the last twice. Idling towards the death for latter success, so big claims in hat-trick bid after 5-lb rise.

Form: 1-62211

Mountain Peak⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: E Walker| OR: 96| BF| CD

7/1

Useful handicapper who has looked as good as ever this year but lost his unbeaten Haydock record when only fifth of 6 last week. Type to bounce back quickly.

Form: 15-5435

(3)

Bedford Flyer^b1³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: J L Eyre| OR: 97| D

9/2

Bagged 3 nurseries in 2020 and impressed when making all in a York handicap in May. Not disgraced in Royal Ascot handicap and this is a bit easier.

Form: 11-4210

Forecasts

Significantly (9/4), Tis Marvellous (7/2), Jawwaal (4/1), Bedford Flyer (9/2), Mountain Peak (7/1), Caspian Prince (16/1)

JAWWAAL had something up his sleeve when completing a double at Doncaster last time, so he gets the tentative vote to land this tightly-knit affair. Significantly, another one of three hat-trick seekers in the field, could pose the main danger, although the likeable Tis Marvellous isn't out of it by any means.
