Lampang^t⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: C P Lemaire| T: T D Easterby| OR: 104

6/1

Gelded and in fine form this term, bagging 6f handicaps at Ayr and Pontefract. Had excuses in Stewards' Cup at Goodwood last weekend and treated as if still in good form. Likely to go well under Christophe Lemaire.

Form: 00-1010

Hurricane Ivor^b1¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Rene Piechulek| T: W J Haggas| OR: 104| D

16/1

:Real improver for current yard in 2021, landing the Portland at Doncaster before following up in Group 3 company at Newbury. However, he's beaten only one home in his 3 outings this year so first-time blinkers need to give him a lift.

Form: 118-099

Arecibo^p³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-1| J: D Tudhope| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 103| D

9/2

Smart gelding who got back on track when third in Temple Stakes (28/1) at Haydock (5f) in May. Respectable 2 lengths second in Sandown listed latest and ought to be competitive back in a handicap. Yard is no stranger to success in this race.

Form: 43-7307

Judicial⁴²

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: L Dettori| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 102| D

7/1

Multiple listed/Group 3 winner. Didn't fire in the Chipchase at Newcastle in June but he looked to retain a good portion of ability on AW in the spring and he's one to consider back in a handicap under Frankie Dettori.

Form: 325-289

King Of Stars^p¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Takeshi Yokoyama| T: M Appleby| OR: 99| D

4/1

Yet to add to his four 2021 wins this term, but he ran right up to his best when second of 10 over C&D a fortnight ago. Unlikely to be too far away if turning up in a similar mood.

Form: 640202

Manaccan^t²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Hayley Turner| T: J Ryan| OR: 101

7/2

Useful colt who was ran well in a big-field handicap at the Royal meeting here and backed that up when second over 5f at Chester in a first-time tongue tie (retained) 21 days ago. Fine at 6f. Should be in the mix under Hayley Turner.

Form: 164-752

Blue De Vega^t³⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 9-9| J: Joanna Mason| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 97| CD

40/1

C&D winner. Made a successful reappearance at Newbury in April but has been down the field on all 3 outings since. Others more obvious.

Form: 47-1500

Dubai Station^p¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: K Shoemark| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 97| D

14/1

Scored at Chelmsford in May but down the field in the Wokingham here next time and only a respectable fifth of 11 back at Chelmsford since. One of 3 runners from his stable.

Form: 22-6105

Count D'Orsay²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Jose-Luis Martinez| T: T D Easterby| OR: 94| D

11/1

Winless since 2020 but plenty of creditable efforts this term, including fifth of 20 over C&D on penultimate start. Each-weay shout for Team Europe and Jose-Luis Martinez.

Form: 203654

Ready Freddie Go^p⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: N Callan| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 94| D

18/1

Useful sprinter who has landed 5f handicaps at Thirsk and Hamilton this year. Capable of bouncing back from a below-par run at Musselburgh last time.

Forecasts

Manaccan (7/2), King Of Stars (4/1), Arecibo (9/2), Lampang (6/1), Judicial (7/1), Count D'Orsay (11/1), Dusky Lord (12/1), Dubai Station (14/1), Hurricane Ivor (16/1), Ready Freddie Go (18/1), Mokaatil (33/1), Blue De Vega (40/1)

LAMPANG didn't enjoy the rub of the green in the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood last weekend and is taken to bounce straight back and strike a blow for the Rest of The World team under Christophe Lemaire. Frankie Dettori gets the leg up on Judicial and he's feared most for in-form Julie Camacho. King of Stars and sole 3-y-o Manaccan are otrhers to consider.
