9/1

Iffraaj gelding who landed a Doncaster maiden (7f) in April and built on that when third in listed Surrey Stakes (7f) at Epsom in June. Similar form when fifth in Group 3 here 3 weeks ago and this more suitable. Up in trip.

Form: 135

Pistoletto^p⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Darragh Keenan| T: J Ryan| OR: 91| D

9/1

Resumed winning ways at Lingfield (12f) in April and has shaped as if still in good form of late, sixth in 12-runner C&D handicap 9 days ago. Should give another good account for all he's a while without a win on turf.

Form: 105406

Austrian Theory¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Cieren Fallon| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 99| D

10/3

Finished last of 6 in a race that has worked out well at Nottingham (8.3f) in May and back to very best when coming out on top at Hamilton (8.3f) 18 days ago, rallying to lead again final 100 yds. 5 lb higher now but possibilities with a repeat.

Form: 2-34661

Fast Medicine^h⁷⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: R Havlin| T: P W Chapple-Hyam| OR: 88| D

5/1

Gelded, showed improved form in a first-time hood to make a winning return at Nottingham (8.3f) in April. Not in anything like the same form on the Rowley Mile course later that month but interesting connections have given him a break since. Engaged 4.20 Nottingham Friday.

Form: 1237-19

Koy Koy³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: W Buick| T: G Boughey| OR: 93

11/10

Impressive when landing third start in novice company as a 2-y-o and ran well when second behind another improver in the shape of Outgate at Chester in May. Creditable tenth in Britannia handicap (1m) in June (travelled well for long way) and considered on yard debut.

Form: 521-20

Forecasts

Koy Koy (11/10), Austrian Theory (10/3), Fast Medicine (5/1), Bass Player (9/1), Pistoletto (9/1)

A winner of his third start as a juvenile, KOY KOY ran well when runner-up to another improver in the shape of Outgate on his return at Chester in May. Far from disgraced when tenth in the Britannia at the Royal Meeting since, he's fancied to capitalise on the return to calmer waters now starting out for George Boughey. Austrian Theory, with a repeat of his latest Hamilton display, and Fast Medicine (if taking up this engagement) head the dangers.
