Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S De Sousa| T: R Varian| OR: 93| BF| D

5/1

Well-bred colt who confirmed the encouragement of previous efforts when scoring cosily at Nottingham (1m) in July. Not at best at Epsom latest but perhaps he just needed it after a break. Respected.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Jim Crowley| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 88

Form: 322316

(8)

Hundred Isles³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Tom Marquand| T: M R Channon| OR: 82| D

17/2

Pair of 1m wins in spring and largely remained in form since, finishing fifth of 14 in handicap at Goodwood (9f, good to firm) last time. Likely to be in the shake-up.

Forecasts

State Occasion (2/1), Noble Dynasty (10/3), Greatgadian (5/1), Rebel Territory (17/2), Hundred Isles (17/2), Scottish Summit (14/1), Ropey Guest (14/1), Redarna (14/1), Fairy Cakes (33/1)

NOBLE DYNASTY certainly wasn't disgraced in a very useful contest at Haydock last time and is taken to get back on the up in cheekpieces. The main threat may come from fellow 3-y-os State Occasion, who has run well to be placed on all 3 starts this term, and Greatgadian.
