10/3

Latest win at Nottingham in April. 10/1, respectable third of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 12 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Ought to give another good account.

Lightly-raced winner. Last of 6 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 14/1) 15 days ago. No surprise were he to bounce back with a bold show returned to turf off a 3 lb lower mark.

3/1

Latest win at Beverley in May. 11/2, fourth of 7 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 4 days ago, hampered. Others make more appeal for win purposes. Yard saddles three.

5/1

Creditable third of 13 in handicap at Redcar (6f, good to firm, 7/2) 17 days ago, running on. Won't be far away if able to build on that effort here.

Forecasts

Vaunted (3/1), Iur Cinn Tra (10/3), Trust Bertie (5/1), Eruption (5/1), King Of Speed (11/2), Tilly The Filly (6/1), Tiberio Smile (6/1), Slate Cracker (25/1)

KING OF SPEED is interesting back on turf having bagged a Redcar maiden at 2 yrs (well beaten sole subsequent run on grass, but that was in the Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot) and given that he should be sharper following his recent reappearance spin on the all-weather. Tiberio Smile has been given a chance by the handicapper and is feared most ahead of stablemate Trust Bertie and Eruption.
