Harrovian^p,t¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: L Dettori| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 109| D

13/2

Smart gelding who has proved as good as ever this term, battling well to land a small-field minor event at Doncaster 13 days ago. Likely to be thereabouts.

Form: 02-7231

(4)

Migration³²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: W Buick| T: D Menuisier| OR: 106| CD

9/4

Still progressive at the age of 5, landing a C&D handicap before another career best to land a similarly competitive event at York a month ago. Well worth a crack at this level, and he's one to note.

Form: 125/411

(5)

Tyson Fury¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: R Spencer| OR: 97

33/1

Useful colt who has performed creditably in handicap company the last twice but will need a career-best effort if he's to feature in this.

Form: 91-4933

(8)

Victory Chime^v¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: H Crouch| T: R M Beckett| OR: 106| CD

12/1

Smart sort who has been in top form lately and benefited from a good tactical ride when scoring at Chester 11 days ago. Well worth another try in this grade, but likely to face pressure for the lead.

Form: 200021

(2)

West End Charmer⁴⁶⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 109| BF| D

10/1

Smart sort who defied a 12-month absence in good style at Newmarket in June last year and backed it up with a solid third in a big handicap at Royal Ascot. Off since, but can clearly go well fresh.

Form: 1481/13-

King Vega¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 107| CD

11/4

Still unexposed and, having improved to finish fifth in the Sovereign Stakes on his penultimate start, completed a simple task in a C&D novice without coming off the bridle 15 days ago. Respected.

Form: 228-251

(7)

Perotto²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Jason Watson| T: M P Tregoning| OR: 110| C

7/2

Landed the Britannia at Royal Ascot and has generally remained in good form. This represents a drop in grade and this track suits him well, so could be worth chancing in an open race.

Forecasts

Migration (9/4), King Vega (11/4), Perotto (7/2), Fox Tal (6/1), Harrovian (13/2), West End Charmer (10/1), Victory Chime (12/1), Tyson Fury (33/1)

PEROTTO has been holding his form nicely in a higher grade and tends to go well at this course, so he gets the marginal vote in a race that could be run to suit his patient style. The improving Migration is a danger having his first go in listed company, while King Vega is another one who probably hasn't hit his limit yet.
