Restitution¹⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Cieren Fallon| T: A King

6/1

Frankel gelding who confirmed AW debut promise last winter when landing 4-runner Yarmouth maiden (11.5f) in April for John and Thady Gosden. Sold for 150,000 gns thereafter and he may do better again.

Form: 3-1

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: Callum Shepherd| T: Jamie Snowden

50/1

Established as a useful handicap hurdler and better than form figures would imply in handful of starts this summer. However, this looks a tough enough Flat introduction.

Beholding¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| D

8/11

Promising sort who only needed to match debut form when landing 9-runner minor event at Lingfield (12f, AW) 16 days ago, well on top finish. In excellent hands and likely more to come.

Form: 31

Joy Coast^t⁵⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Louis Steward| T: I Mohammed & J Santos

125/1

Twice-raced maiden. Sixth of 7 in minor event (200/1) at Chelmsford City (8f) 59 days ago. Significantly up in trip now but low-grade handicaps likely more his bag in due course.

Form: 96

(4)

King Capella¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: R Kingscote| T: Sir Michael Stoute

5/4

Kingman colt who shaped promisingly whilst possibly undone by lack of experience when edged out late on in a Haydock maiden (11.6f) 2 weeks ago. Looks sure to progress and one to take seriously.

Form: 2

(6)

Scherbobalob³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A W Carroll

50/1

Twice-raced maiden who stepped up on debut effort when second of 4 in minor event at Ffos Las (12f) 36 days ago (modest form). Longer trips/handicaps entitled to be more his bag, however.

Form: 62

(7)

Lassie^h⁶²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Jane Elliott| T: Jean-Rene Auvray

300/1

Once-raced maiden. Hooded, last of 8 in minor event at Newbury (10f, good to firm, 250/1) on debut 62 days ago. Readily passed over here.

Form: 8

Salonniere²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Rhys Clutterbuck⁽⁵⁾| T: M Crawley

300/1

Little to shout about in 2 starts to date, latterly a Chelmsford maiden (1m) on yard debut 22 days ago. Another who is hard to fancy here.

Form: 67

Undomiel²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: William Carver⁽³⁾| T: P R Webber

300/1

Hooded, last of 9 in maiden at Goodwood (9.9f, good to firm, 200/1) on debut 21 days ago, struggling long way out.

Forecasts

Beholding (8/11), King Capella (5/4), Restitution (6/1), Cu Chulainn (10/1), Scherbobalob (50/1), Thebannerkingrebel (50/1), Joy Coast (125/1), Lassie (300/1), Undomiel (300/1), Salonniere (300/1)

KING CAPELLA makes plenty of appeal on paper and duly shaped with lots of promise when second in a Haydock maiden (11.6f) 2 weeks ago, possibly undone by his inexperience in just being edged out late on. He rates a sure-fire improver and earns the vote to come out on top. Lingfield scorer Beholding rates the chief threat, ahead of Restitution.
