Royal Air Force¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 90

16/1

Impressive winner of Yarmouth novice on sole 2-y-o start, but he hasn't cut much ice in a handful of appearances over a mile this season and doesn't appear to be crying out for this step up in trip.

Form: 1-744

Without Revenge²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Thomas Greatrex⁽³⁾| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 89| BF| D

9/2

Stylish Newmarket winner upped to this trip in May and acquitted himself well at Royal Ascot the following month. Rather disappointing back at Ascot last time, though, and needs to get back on track.

Form: 51-3154

(7)

Mashhoor⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Jim Crowley| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 87| BF

2/1

Shaped well sole 2-y-o start and landed a minor event on return at Nottingham. Has failed to land the odds in a couple of handicaps since, but this well-bred colt remains capable of better.

Form: 4-123

(5)

Lexington Knight¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen⁽³⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 82

9/1

Fairly-useful performer who got off the mark at sixth attempt in 1m Windsor maiden in June. However, has struggled switched to handicaps the last twice and remains on a stiff-looking mark.

Form: 322105

Farhan⁸³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: R Kingscote| T: J Butler| OR: 80| D

15/2

Pontefract novice winner on final 2-y-o start and went close on return in a Salisbury handicap in May. Not disgraced when tried over 1½m at York next time, but improvement needed here.

Form: 5331-24

(1)

Rewired³³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-3| J: J F Egan| T: D Menuisier| OR: 72

3/1

Bounced back following an inauspicious display at Salisbury when fifth in a 12-runner C&D handicap won by the progressive Wink of An Eye (winner again since) last month. Big player off the same mark.

Form: 512-375

(2)

Arenas Del Tiempo¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: L Morris| T: S Dow| OR: 71| CD

10/1

Has improved switched to front-running tactics the last twice, latterly scoring over this C&D in decisive fashion. However, another personal best is needed up 6 lb in this stronger race.

Form: 602011

Forecasts

Mashhoor (2/1), Rewired (3/1), Without Revenge (9/2), Farhan (15/2), Lexington Knight (9/1), Arenas Del Tiempo (10/1), Royal Air Force (16/1)

REWIRED did very well under the circumstances when fifth in a competitive C&D handicap last time and, granted better luck now, he could be the answer. Despite back-to-back odds-on failures, Mashhoor still possesses potential and he is the clear main danger ahead of the hat-trick seeking Arenas Del Tiempo.
