Stunning Beauty^p¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: D Tudhope| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 95

17/2

Bounced back to her best on penultimate start when runner-up at Newmarket on penultimate start last month but probably had her work cut out and was below form in any case taking on the 3-y-os when down the field at Newbury 11 days ago. Needs more.

Form: 709324

Dance Fever¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox| OR: 94| D

14/1

Unable to make any sort of impact at Royal Ascot (left poorly placed from his draw) but back in much calmer waters, ran well to comfortably see off the remainder when runner-up at Doncaster 11 days ago. Could well have a say in proceedings.

Form: 703002

The Attorney¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: W Buick| T: C Hills| OR: 94| D

9/2

Dual 7f winner in 2021 and even better form when runner-up over 7f at Newcastle (AW) and over C&D on both starts in June. Continued in good heart when a close fifth in Bunbury Cup at Newmarket earlier this month and he's a must for the shortlist in his current mood.

Form: 22-7225

Mums Tipple¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 92| BF| D

9/2

It's now twelve runs since his last win in 2021 but he fared better than of late down significantly in grade when third at Newmarket earlier this month. Yard has a fine record in this contest (won 3 of last 4 editions) so he merits serious consideration from this mark.

Form: 005-003

(20)

Farasi Lane^t,v³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Tom Marquand| T: T Ward| OR: 91| D

25/1

Back to his best with a tongue strap back on when runner-up at Windsor last month, just failing to get up having looked a more straightforward ride that he had done at Sandown a month previously. This much more competitive but he did win a similar event under this rider last year.

Form: 70-4282

(19)

Titan Rock¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 91| CD

16/1

Looked better than ever when signing off last season on a winning note at Ayr (7f, good) and made a solid return to action when 2 lengths fourth of 9 at York. However he's failed to build on that on both subsequent starts so percentage call is to look elsewhere.

Form: 261-409

(5)

Bowman^p²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: William Carson| T: Mrs L J Mongan| OR: 89| D

28/1

Fairly useful last year for Mark Johnston and has returned to similar form for this yard lately, causing a shock in a 15-runner event at the Derby meeting at Epsom last month. Took his form up another notch when runner-up there 4 weeks ago and he should go well once again.

Form: 758212

(9)

Asad^p¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Hollie Doyle| T: M Appleby| OR: 87| D

18/1

Lightly raced for his age and returned better than ever to score at Chelmsford in April. Ran at least as well in defeat at Haydock and Windsor since but having produced a rare below-par effort at Ascot earlier this month, he needs to bounce back quickly.

Form: 70-1225

(18)

Dig Two^b1³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Harry Davies⁽⁵⁾| T: H Palmer| OR: 93| D

50/1

Opened his account for the season sporting first-time cheekpieces in a weak race at Musselburgh early last month and not disgraced from a 4 lb higher mark when fifth at Chester 3 weeks later. Blinkers tried today and a step forward is required.

Form: 02-7015

Wild Lion²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: L Dettori| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 85| BF| D

11/1

Unbeaten on the all-weather last year, scoring twice at Newcastle. Ran a cracker on return after 9 months off when a close third at Leicester earlier this month and every chance he will come on from that effort. One to consider.

Form: 24/11-3

(8)

Princess Olly^h1⁷³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Rossa Ryan| T: D Loughnane| OR: 92| D

40/1

Made a winning debut at Cork in April and highly tried on both subsequent starts, latest when last of 6 in a listed event at Naas in May. Has since left Adrian Murray and this a tough start to life in handicaps. Hood applied.

Form: 176

Toussarok⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 84| C| D

20/1

Proved at least as good as ever to record a second win of the season at Epsom earlier this month and creditable seventh on the back of a 2 lb rise at Ayr since. A place is probably the best he can hope for.

Form: 102417

(12)

Amor Vincit Omnia²⁸⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: R L Moore| T: H Palmer| OR: 90| D

8/1

Showed improved form to get off the mark on nursery debut at Haydock (7.2f, good to soft) when last seen back in October. This is his first start for Hugo Palmer and from a 6 lb higher mark, he could well have a say provided he's ready to roll.

Form: 9541-

Milltown Star³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Saffie Osborne⁽³⁾| T: J A Osborne| OR: 82| D

80/1

Won 3 times as a juvenile for Mick Channon but not scored since and was below form on first outing for his new yard on reappearance at Newmarket last month. Easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 07690-7

(14)

Lyndon B^p²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J L Flint| OR: 82

18/1

Won from this mark at Sandown around this time last year and went close to doubling his tally for his trainer when runner-up at Bath 4 weeks ago. This much more competitive, though.

Form: 42-9362

(13)

Windseeker³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: David Egan| T: R Hannon| OR: 89| D

20/1

Back-to-back novice winner 7 months apart and followed a good run with a below-par one when down the field at Salisbury (1m, good to firm) 5 weeks ago. Needs to leave that effort well behind to feature but it remains early days and yard has a fine recent record in this contest.

Form: 21-1327

(1)

Animal Instinct^p⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: R Kingscote| T: Ian Williams| OR: 77| D

25/1

All three wins gained on the AW and he hasn't made much of an impact in five starts switched to turf this year, latest after another breathing operation when fourth at Ascot 5 days ago. Cheekpieces back on today but he looks an easy swerve.

Form: 700584

(7)

Stockpyle¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: S De Sousa| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 83| D

6/1

Got off the mark at the seventh attempt after a couple of near misses at Chepstow earlier this month and easily coped with the quick turnaround when bolting up at Wolverhampton 3 days later. Thriving at present and fancied to be competitive despite an 8 lb rise.

Forecasts

The Attorney (9/2), Mums Tipple (9/2), Stockpyle (6/1), Amor Vincit Omnia (8/1), Stunning Beauty (17/2), Wild Lion (11/1), Dance Fever (14/1), Titan Rock (16/1), Lyndon B (18/1), Asad (18/1), Toussarok (20/1), Windseeker (20/1), Prince Of Bel Lir (20/1), Lord Rapscallion (20/1), Farasi Lane (25/1), Animal Instinct (25/1), Bowman (28/1), Princess Olly (40/1), Dig Two (50/1), Milltown Star (80/1)

An ultra-competitive finale in which MUMS TIPPLE gets the nod. Although still a bit below his best form of last year, he showed more encouraging signs at Newmarket earlier this month, and with Richard Hannon having enjoyed plenty of success in this contest (won 3 of last 4), he's fancied to register a first victory in handicap company. Stockpyle is a colt firmly on the up so he's put forward as the main danger, with The Attorney and Wild Lion also expected to be involved.
