Siskany⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: James Doyle| T: C Appleby| OR: 98

10/3

Progressive type who won pair of novice events before scoring comfortably on 1¼m Sandown handicap debut in May. Excellent fourth up in trip in the King George V Stakes and remains of serious interest.

Form: 51-114

(12)

Recovery Run¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 96

12/1

Useful juvenile who left previous efforts this year well behind when sixth back in a handicap at Ascot 18 days ago. Eased further 2 lb since, which will help his cause.

Form: 12-9506

(7)

Fabilis¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Rob Hornby| T: R M Beckett| OR: 96

28/1

Dual winner at 2 yrs and got back on the up returned to turf when second in 10f handicap at Sandown in April. Ran poorly in Italian Derby next time and 6-lengths second at Ascot just a fair effort.

Form: 14-4292

Pleasant Man¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: K Shoemark| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 95| D

8/1

Was a bit underwhelming on his first 2 starts of the year but, having been gelded since Chester, showed improved form to make a winning handicap debut at Salisbury. Race wasn't run to suit at Ascot.

Form: 15-3514

(5)

Kings Prince¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: B A Curtis| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 95| BF| D

22/1

Debut winner in October and picked up where he left off 6 months later when successful under a penalty in another novice. Far from disgraced in listed company latest and now goes handicapping.

Form: 1-14

(10)

Nagano⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: David Egan| T: R Varian| OR: 94

4/1

Has made really good start to his career, winning 1¼m novices at Nottingham and Newcastle in May. Unlucky not to finish closer than sixth in the King George V Stakes last time and open to improvement.

Form: 3116

(14)

Irish Legend^b¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: J P Spencer| T: H Palmer| OR: 91

11/1

Resumed winning ways at Newcastle in May before very good third in 1m2f handicap here five weeks ago. Held up in slowly-run race last time, but didn't look totally straightforward.

Form: 11-0137

(2)

Pied Piper^p¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: L Dettori| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 90

16/1

Useful sort who was second then third in 1¾m small-field handicaps on first 2 starts this term. Performed as well as could be expected in Queen's Vase and backed that up when third at Newmarket.

Form: 21-2303

(8)

Kolisi³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 87

7/1

Continued theme of race-by-race progress when a smooth winner of a Salisbury maiden in June. In top hands, is unexposed and seems sure to stay this far, so every chance there's more to come.

Form: 321

(9)

Glen Again¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: R L Moore| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 86

16/1

Gained second success of 2021 in 1m2f handicap at Nottingham. Solid efforts in defeat since at around this trip and he's likely to give it another good go.

Form: 141243

(4)

Annandale⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 82

6/1

Consistent rather than progressive, but he shaped better than the bare result when third over 1¾m at Chester on penultimate start. Did seem to throw away a winning opportunity at Sandown, though.

Form: 218332

(13)

Vina Bay⁷⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-3| J: K T O'Neill| T: S Kirk| OR: 80

80/1

Completed AW heat-trick on first 3 handicap starts at Lingfield in March. Tame effort on turf debut in May and off since, so has a few questions to answer.

Form: 5-51110

(6)

Chase The Dollar^p1¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 79| BF

33/1

Consistent rather than progressive this year, second of 5 at Ripon 11 days ago. Cheekpieces may help him knuckle down for pressure but this is a far deeper race.

Form: 12-5232

Forecasts

Siskany (10/3), Nagano (4/1), Annandale (6/1), Kolisi (7/1), Pleasant Man (8/1), Irish Legend (11/1), Recovery Run (12/1), Pied Piper (16/1), Glen Again (16/1), Kings Prince (22/1), General Lee (25/1), Fabilis (28/1), Chase The Dollar (33/1), Vina Bay (80/1)

The King George V Stakes Handicap at Ascot last month could be the key piece of form, with NAGANO and Siskany both shaping better than the bare result in that contest. The former was particularly unlucky given his troubled passage and needs treating as though still a handicapper firmly on the up. Of the rest, Kolisi is highly likely to leave the bare form he's achieved so far behind.
