20/1

Ulysses gelding. Dam, 1¼m winner, half-sister to useful winner up to 1½m Queen of Ice. 14/1, fifth of 7 in minor event at Leicester (8.2f, heavy) on debut back in October. In good hands but handicaps likely to be more his bag moving forward.

9/4

Lightly-raced colt. Good second of 9 in minor event at Epsom (8.5f, good, 7/4) 31 days ago, no extra final 100 yds. Entitled to be sharper for the run and fancied to figure upped to 1¼m.

Form: 442-2

Trojan Truth²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: P Cosgrave| T: E De Giles

50/1

Once-raced gelding. Seventh of 8 in minor event at Chepstow (10f, good, 40/1) on debut 22 days ago, very slowly away and never a threat. This should reveal more.

Form: 7

Echo Chamber²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Rob Hornby| T: R M Beckett

18/1

Twice-raced filly. 4/1, fourth of 8 in minor event on return at Chepstow (10f, good) 22 days ago, best work finish. Remains capable of better moving forward.

Mashaaer¹⁹

4/9

Muhaarar filly who has filled the runners-up spot all 3 starts to date, latterly in listed Pretty Polly Stakes (10f) 3 weeks ago, staying on without threatening the winner. Very much the one to beat returned to calmer waters.

Form: 2-22

Forecasts

Mashaaer (4/9), Schmilsson (9/4), Tahasun (9/2), Echo Chamber (18/1), Argonault (20/1), Imperative (33/1), Trojan Truth (50/1)

MASHAAER has found only one too good all 3 starts to date, showing much-improved form when runner-up in the listed Pretty Polly at Newmarket 3 weeks ago, and she should prove tough to beat returned to calmer waters. Schmilsson and Tahasun can take minor honours.
