Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: James Doyle| T: C Appleby| OR: 89

9/1

Opened account on second start at Goodwood and matched that form when placed next 2 starts, including in minor at Meydan on return. Next start in listed race there was too bad to be true so worth another chance back on turf. Off 117 days. Hood back on. Makes handicap debut.

Form: 312-30

Knight Of Honour²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 87| D

13/8

Progressive colt who got off the mark in 7-runner maiden at Goodwood (9.9f, good) 25 days ago by 2¼ lengths from Broadspear, soon clear. Makes handicap debut and open to further improvement.

Form: 3-221

Improved in handicaps this season and benefitted from an enterprising ride at Yarmouth 3 weeks ago. Respected.

Form: 243-2D1

Broadspear²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: David Egan| T: R Varian| OR: 82| BF

4/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 15/8, creditable 2¼ lengths second of 7 to Knight of Honour in maiden at Goodwood (9.9f, good) 25 days ago, no match for winner. 5 lb better off with the winner now ahead of handicap debut and remains with potential.

Form: 27-22

Hamaki^t¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 82

10/3

Back-to-back winner last summer, opening his account in a 6f Pontefract maiden before striking on nursery debut at Sandown (7f). Resumed progress when third in 9f handicap at Sandown on return, likely to have finished second with a clear run. This trip should suit and likely to go well again.

Form: 86117-3

Noonie³³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: P J McDonald| T: E Bethell| OR: 76| BF

14/1

Showed much improved form on first outing since leaving Mark Johnston when second at Beverley on handicap bow/return, just failing. Backed that up when runner-up upped in trip there last month but this tougher.

Form: 2235-22

Forecasts

Knight Of Honour (13/8), Hamaki (10/3), Broadspear (4/1), Paradias (15/2), Secret Image (9/1), Noonie (14/1)

HAMAKI ran well when placed in a Sandown handicap on his return last month and likely has more to offer stepping up in trip again. He shades the vote over Knight of Honour, who beat Broadspear in good style when winning his maiden at Goodwood.
