Smart gelding who got back on track with win in 3-runner conditions event at Haydock (7f) 15 days ago. Holds solid claims with his yard among the winners.
|
Scored at Meydan in winter and back on song after a break when second of 6 to Glorious Journey in Park Stakes at Doncaster (7f) 6 days ago, conceding first run. Must enter calculations.
|
Winless this term, and below-par seventh of 19 in handicap at Ascot (7f) 55 days ago. Not ruled out after a break, though, for his in-form yard.
|
Bagged Windsor listed event in the spring and largely in good form since, fourth of 9 to Summerghand in similar company at Newmarket (6f) 20 days ago. Can make his presence felt again.
|
Posted very useful effort to land Ascot;s Victoria Cup but off track since fair fourth of 9 in John of Gaunt Stakes at Haydock in May. C&D winner though so he's not taken lightly after his break.
|
Gained first win since his debut in 3-runner conditions event at Thirsk (7f) 42 days ago. This demands more, but he's a smart gelding who shouldn't be underestimated.
|
Yet to add to his three wins in 2020 this season but he posted respectable ninth of 28 in handicap at Royal Ascot (7f) in June. Goes well fresh, so he's no forlorn hope.
|
Useful colt but he turned in below-par fifth of 7 in Minstrel Stakes at the Curragh (7f) when last seen out in July. Tongue strap on now with something to find on form.
|
Debut 7f winner at Doncaster who shaped well after 11 months off when second of 3 in conditions event at Salisbury (6f) 24 days ago, collared only close home. Has more to offer, so needs considering.
|
Dual 7f winner, including over C&D, as a juvenile but he returned from 9 months off with modest last of 4 in Haydock conditions event (7f) in July. Needs to bounce back now.
|
Useful colt. Scored at Chelmsford City in April and largely in good form since, though stiff task in Lennox Stakes at Goodwood (7f) last time. Bit more needed in this company too.
|
Low-mileage 3-y-o who returned with win in 5-runner novice at Newcastle (6f) in February. Faces a tough ask here on his comeback run, however.
|
Built on his debut promise when second in 1m Chepstow novice 8 days ago. This represent a big step up in class, so it's easy to look elsewhere.
|
Fast improving daughter of New Approach who made it 3-4 in 7f Sandown handicap 27 days ago, well on top at the finish. Has more to offer, and rates a player here despite taking a step up in grade.
|
Dual 7f winner in 2020 when showing smart form but she's yet to fire in two runs this term, seventh of 8 in listed race at Chelmsford City (7f) 75 days ago. Has questions to answer now.

Forecasts
Silent Escape (16/5), Al Suhail (16/5), Albasheer (11/2), D'bai (8/1), Matthew Flinders (12/1), River Nymph (16/1), Symbolize (20/1), Fundamental (20/1), Ace Aussie (20/1), Tomfre (22/1), With Thanks (28/1), Mums Tipple (28/1), Baradar (28/1), Snash (66/1), Wonder Elmossman (200/1)
SILENT ESCAPE faces her toughest test yet but she arrives firmly on the up and with few miles on the clock too so is fancied to make it 4-5 on her first go in listed company. Al Suhail and D'bai both represent the in-form Charlie Appleby yard and already have smart form in the book so look the two to give her most to do in that order.
- SILENT ESCAPE (IRE)
- AL SUHAIL
- D'BAI (IRE)
