Soldier's Minute^h⁸⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 96

12/1

Smart gelding who added to his tally at Kempton (6f) in November. Not in quite the same form either start thereafter and he ran poorly on return at York (6f) in May. Others make greater appeal.

Form: 40194-0

Dubai Station⁶³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: B A Curtis| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 100| D

28/1

Very useful 6f winner for Karl Burke last term but yet to hit form in 3 runs for his current yard, last of 11 in Haydock listed event (5f) in May. Break needs to have positive effect now.

Form: 035-930

(4)

El Astronaute⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-1| J: Ben Robinson| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 103| D

3/1

Smart when on-song and made all in a minor event on return at Chester (5f) in May. Back to form when second at Goodwood (5f) on Tuesday and live player here (runner-up in this race 12 months ago).

Form: 24-1982

Emaraaty Ana²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 107| D

4/5

Won Gimcrack Stakes back in 2018 and plenty of smart efforts to his name this term, third in Group 3 Palace House Stakes in May. Not disgraced in July Cup latest and this much more suitable.

Form: 8-23370

(1)

Que Amoro^p²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: P Mulrennan| T: M Dods| OR: 108| D

5/1

Took form to new level in 2020 (second to Battaash in Nunthorpe) but yet to hit top form this term, well beaten at York earlier this month. Usual headgear back on but tough to weigh up at present.

Form: 1320-09

Forecasts

Emaraaty Ana (4/5), El Astronaute (3/1), Que Amoro (5/1), Soldier's Minute (12/1), Dubai Station (28/1)

Runner-up in this race 12 months ago, EL ASTRONAUTE returned to form when finding only his stablemate Lord Riddiford too strong at Goodwood on Tuesday and a repeat should see John Quinn's speedster firmly in the mix once more. Emaraaty Ana, back in calmer waters, may emerge as the forecast play ahead of Que Amoro.
