7/1

C&D winner. Latest win here in July. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Goodwood (9f, good to firm, 5/1) 8 days ago. Yard saddles a more appealing candidate in He's Our Star.

Harlequin Rose^v¹³

17/2

C&D winner. Bit below form third of 13 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, good to firm, 20/1) 13 days ago. Minor place money is probably the best she can hope for.

Forecasts

He's Our Star (5/4), Dawn View (4/1), Beau Geste (7/1), Thomas Lanfiere (8/1), Harlequin Rose (17/2), In The Cove (10/1), Grandstand (16/1)

Ready preference is for HE'S OUR STAR, who did the job well over C&D last month and was arguably unlucky not to follow up with Mollie Phillips again in the hot-seat back here 15 days ago. He remains on a workable mark and will take plenty of stopping. Dawn View is next on the list back down in class, while In The Cove and Thomas Lanfiere should both be in there pitching for minor honours.
