7/1
Thirteen wins from 46 Flat runs, including the Thirsk Hunt Cup on his reappearance in April. Good third of 9 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Will need a career best to overcome top weight here, though.

C&D winner. Latest win at Ripon in April. Eighth of 9 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, good to firm, 9/1) 17 days ago. Cheekpieces on first time. Player if reacting positively to the headgear.

C&D winner. Eleventh of 13 in handicap (16/1) at York (9f, good to firm) 34 days ago but well capable from this sort of mark if bouncing back to form.

10/1
Promise when placed on all 3 AW starts, particularly when third on handicap debut in May, but hasn't been at the same level in 2 attempts on turf. Much too soon to suggest he won't prove as effective on turf but there's clearly a slight doubt.

Improved on recent efforts to win 8-runner handicap (8/1) at Carlisle (1m, soft) 13 days ago, suited by way race developed. Likely to give another good account.

C&D winner. Creditable second of 8 in over C&D (good, 10/3) 10 days ago, no match for winner. Another who can't be discounted.

Forecasts

Enigmatic (11/4), Eligible (9/2), Hortzadar (6/1), Redarna (7/1), Trais Fluors (17/2), Ventura Rascal (9/1), Bearaway (10/1), Strongbowe (11/1), Perfect Swiss (18/1)

Verdict

HORTZADOR races off the same mark as when successful at Ripon in the spring and it might be worth taking a chance that first-time cheekpieces help him to bounce back to form. Strongbowe and Eligible are a couple of obvious threats, while Bearaway would also be a big player if translating his AW form over to turf.

  1. Hortzadar6/1
  2. Strongbowe11/1
  3. Eligible9/2
