Low-mileage filly who as resumed progress this term, winning at Windsor (11.5f) on return and matching that level when second to Untold Story at Newmarket (12f) since. Interesting.

Hooded for first time, good 1½ lengths fourth of 8 in handicap at York (16.2f, good, 14/1) in July and shaped similarly when filling that same position at Ripon 12 days ago. Mark continues to fall.

Knuckled down well to make third start a winning one in 8-runner novice at Redcar (good) in June and took form up a level on handicap debut when scoring at Ascot 6 weeks ago. One to be interested in.

Still a maiden and he was well held after 3 months off at Sandown 13 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere.

Forecasts

Strawberry Rock (6/5), Southern Voyage (3/1), Celtic Art (5/1), Liverpool Knight (15/2), Eagle Court (10/1), Harmonious (66/1)

Verdict

Cases can be made for most in here but the most compelling is for SOUTHERN VOYAGE, who took his form up a notch to make a winning handicap debut at Ascot 6 weeks ago, and nudged up just 3 lb, is taken to complete the hat-trick. Strawberry Rock has returned an improved model this year, so Hugo Palmer's charge is feared most, ahead of Liverpool Knight.

  1. SOUTHERN VOYAGE (FR)
  2. STRAWBERRY ROCK (IRE)
  3. LIVERPOOL KNIGHT
