Off time: 19:41 | Winning time: 2m 12.05s

(8)

The Red Cleric³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: J F Egan| T: K Jewell

200/1

66/1, first run since leaving Linda Jewell when last of 5 in bumper at Plumpton (17.8f, good) 36 days ago. Hard to warm to on this Flat debut. Yard also saddles Divination.

Form:

(5)

Commander Hector³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: P Cosgrave| T: C F Wall

50/1

Twice-raced maiden. Eighth of 14 in maiden (22/1) at Newcastle (10.2f) 34 days ago. Probably more one for handicaps later on.

Form: 6-8

(1)

Cyrus Kingofpersia²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Dane O'Neill| T: H Candy

125/1

Once-raced maiden. Last of 9 in maiden (50/1) at Leicester (8.2f, good to firm) on debut 21 days ago. Up in trip. He's another who will probably be seen in a better light in handicaps further down the line.

Form: 9

(10)

Divination

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Rhys Clutterbuck⁽³⁾| T: K Jewell

150/1

Alhebayeb gelding. Dam ran twice, out of 2-y-o 7f winner Aswhatilldois. Limited appeal on paper.

Form:

(2)

Hammerhead

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: George Wood| T: Mrs I G-Leveque

80/1

Aclaim gelding. Dam, Australian 6f/7f winner, half-sister to Australian 6f-7.5f winner Maternal out of very smart 1m winner Divine Madonna. Probably best watched on debut.

Form:

(9)

Noble Run

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding

16/1

$20,000 foal, £38,000 yearling, Noble Mission colt. Half-brother to 3 winners in US, including winner up to 7.5f Madison's Quarters. Dam winner in US around 1m. Yard can ready a newcomer and he's one to note in the betting.

Form:

(7)

Smart Contender³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: S De Sousa| T: S & E Crisford

6/1

Twice-raced maiden. Fourth of 7 in minor event at Newmarket (8f, good, 17/2) 31 days ago. Up in trip. Likely to pick up a race at some point, but others are preferred on this occasion.

Form: 04

(3)

Storm Castle²²³

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

10/3

Twice-raced maiden. Fifth of 13 in minor event at Redcar (7f, soft, 10/3) on final 2-y-o start. Pedigree suggests that this stiffer test will be welcomed and improvement should be forthcoming.

Form: 65-

(13)

Tathbeet^t²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas

10/11

Promising individual. Tongue strap on, fourth of 9 in maiden (5/2) at Leicester (8.2f, good to firm) on debut 21 days ago, not ideally placed. This step up in trip should help unlock improvement and he's the one to beat.

Form: 4

(12)

Hexameter²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: David Egan| T: R Varian

6/1

Promising type. 12/1, third of 13 in minor event at Goodwood (9.9f, good to soft) 24 days ago. Open to progress for top connections and she should be on the premises.

Form: 43

(6)

Livalot

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: K Shoemark| T: W Jarvis

33/1

€72,000 foal, 60,000 gns yearling, Camelot filly. Half-sister to Italian 5f winner Claptrap. Dam unraced half-sister to useful 5f winner (stayed 1m) Whip Rule. Market should point the way.

Form:

(11)

Oriole

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: H Crouch| T: R M Beckett

18/1

Nathaniel filly. Half-sister to useful winner up to 1m Bullace. Dam, 7f winner (including at 2 yrs), half-sister to 1½m winners Oneiric and Abounding (stayed 2m). Likely type on paper and one to monitor closely in the betting.

Form:

(4)

Qeyaam¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Christian Howarth⁽⁵⁾| T: D M Loughnane

150/1

Twice-raced maiden. 150/1, fifth of 7 in minor event at Ripon (8f, good) 18 days ago. Up in trip.

Form: 05

Forecasts

Tathbeet (10/11), Storm Castle (10/3), Hexameter (6/1), Smart Contender (6/1), Noble Run (16/1), Oriole (18/1), Livalot (33/1), Commander Hector (50/1), Hammerhead (80/1), Cyrus Kingofpersia (125/1), Qeyaam (150/1), Divination (150/1), The Red Cleric (200/1)

This looks ripe for TATHBEET, who is bred to be useful and shaped with plenty of encouragement when fourth on his introduction at Leicester three weeks ago. He'll be sharper now and promises to be suited by this stiffer test. Hexameter and Storm Castle are both open to improvement too, and feared most in that order of preference. Newcomers Noble Run and Oriole need close attention in the betting.
