18/1

Below form ninth of 19 in handicap (18/1) at Ascot (6f, good to firm) 87 days ago. Draw could make life awkward. Others more persuasive.

Sharib^h1,t³²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: K T O'Neill| T: I Furtado| OR: 63

16/1

Fairly useful in France. Yet to make a significant impact in 4 starts for this yard but his mark is coming down. Hooded first time. Makes polytrack debut. Worth a betting check.

Form: 20-9907

3/1

C&D winner. Eighth of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford (6f, 12/1) 21 days ago. Visor on first time. One of 2 runners from the stable. Betting should provide more clues.

Beauen Arrows³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Jason Watson| T: M J Attwater| OR: 65

9/1

Fair maiden. 5/1, good fourth of 12 in C&D handicap 34 days ago. Less exposed than a lot of these.

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Rhys Clutterbuck⁽³⁾| T: D C Griffiths| OR: 57| CD

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: S C Williams| OR: 60

8/1

7/1, fourth of 6 in handicap at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. First-time cheekpieces replace visor. Has edged down to a workable mark. One of the more likely types.

Form: 8-57384

Forecasts

Sir Gregory (15/8), Starter For Ten (3/1), Silver Dollar (9/2), Manettino (8/1), Beauen Arrows (9/1), Sir Rodneyredblood (16/1), Sharib (16/1), Nubough (18/1), Cool Spirit (33/1), Jazzy Princess (50/1), Hundon (66/1), Fittleton Ferry (125/1)

SILVER DOLLAR hasn't got seriously competitive in 3 runs on turf since the spring but he was progressive on AW at the start of the year and looks worth siding with back on an artificial surface as he's dipped to a mark 1 lb lower than when successful over C&D at the start of April. Sir Gregory arrives in good nick and should play a prominent role from a handy draw. Manettino also makes the shortlist.
