My Oberon^b1¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 114| D

4/1

Smart colt who bagged Group 3 at Newmarket in April. Largely in good form since, though only fifth of 7 to Real World in Strensall Stakes at York 14 days ago and blinkers are reached for now.

Form: 5-17345

(2)

Artistic Rifles^t³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: E Bethell| OR: 102| D

15/2

Enjoying a fine season for his current yard, and readily garnered his third 1m handicap at Hamilton in July. This requires a sizeable step forward, however, so others appeal more.

Form: 1-31101

(3)

Bell Rock¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding| OR: 108| D

6/1

Very useful handicapper who scored at Newmarket (9f) in May and not disgraced up in grade when fourth of 7 in Strensall Stakes at York 14 days ago. Respected.

Form: 30-1304

(5)

Lord Glitters¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 115| D

7/5

Admirable gelding who landed Group 1 and 2 in Dubai early this year and has continued in excellent form, runner-up in Strensall Stakes at York last time. Has good turn of foot, and the one to beat.

Form: 316442

(4)

Maydanny¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 106| D

4/1

Bagged second successive Glorious Goodwood win in Golden Mile before good seventh off 8 lb higher in 1m York handicap 16 days ago. This demands more but he holds place prospects.

Form: 6-20217

Forecasts

Lord Glitters (7/5), My Oberon (4/1), Maydanny (4/1), Bell Rock (6/1), Artistic Rifles (15/2)

LORD GLITTERS has proved a cracking servant to connections and holds a clear edge on form here so is fancied to add to his two Group victories at Meydan earlier in the year. Maydanny arrives in top form in handicap company and appeals as the one to chase home David O'Meara's admirable gelding.
