Dual winner at Newmarket last year and a few good runs in handicaps this term, including behind Adjourn at Doncaster 3 weeks ago when very slowly away.

Off the mark for the season in 5-runner 12f Goodwood handicap in June but not so good back in hotter races the last twice (excuses first occasion). Takes a marked drop back in trip having gone close in the 12f handicap at this meeting last year.

Smart on his day for John Gosden but little impact for this yard this year, looking very hard work at Newmarket last time. Back up in trip.

Has had a busy year, winning again on polytrack in April. Poor run at Windsor last time and this looks tough.

Off the mark in 10.2f Doncaster handicap 3 weeks ago with a bit in hand. Good chance he has more to offer after just 5 starts.

Much improved in handicaps this summer, relishing the step up to this trip as she landed the odds again in fillies' event at Sandown a fortnight ago. More to come.

Off the mark at Nottingham in May and back on track in 1m Newmarket handicap a fortnight ago fitted with a tongue tie. Has plenty on against some improving 3-y-os on these terms for all his rider has a tremendous record at this fixture.

Successful return in 1m Ripon handicap in the mud and has held his own in some warm events subsequently, running well against his elders at York 4 weeks ago. Keen goer but plenty of stamina on dam's side of his pedigree to suggest he should stay this longer trip. One to consider.

Newmarket winner at 2 yrs and good efforts in handicaps the last twice, conceding first run in fillies' contest at Goodwood (10f) 10 days ago. Wouldn't dismiss.

Forecasts

Amanzoe (5/2), Adjourn (5/2), Value Theory (13/2), Blenheim Boy (13/2), Carolus Magnus (7/1), HMS President (12/1), Civil Law (25/1), Pistoletto (40/1), Humanitarian (50/1), Atheby (50/1)

Verdict

The 3-y-os should dominate this new opening race, with the upwardly-mobile AMANZOE taken to make it 4 wins from her last 5 starts. She looks destined for listed/pattern company after her smooth Sandown success and could be far too good for these. Doncaster-winner Adjourn is feared most ahead of Blenheim Boy.
