G'daay^b,h¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: J Mitchell| T: J Parr| OR: 75| BF| D

7/2

Winner on AW at Lingfield in June and went close at Chelmsford the following month. Not at best back at Lingfield last time but that was a rare blemish in recent times and he's much respected back on turf (placed over C&D last year).

Al Ameen^p,t1³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: W Buick| T: G Boughey| OR: 77

9/4

Left poorly positioned when fifth of 10 in 7f Ascot handicap last time (likely still in form) and has recorded good placed efforts on the 2 previous occasions he's been partnered by William Buick. Has first-time tongue tie added to usual headgear. Big player.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Marco Ghiani| T: George Scott| OR: 76| D

5/2

Has largely run with credit in handicaps this term, including length third over 7f at Leicester 3 weeks ago. Every she'll give her running again.

Form: 10-4253

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: R L Moore| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 67| BF| D

4/1

Winner at Carlisle in July and creditable runner-up efforts on both outings since. Ought to be thereabouts again with Ryan Moore doing the steering.

Forecasts

Al Ameen (9/4), Mistrix (5/2), G'daay (7/2), Baileys Liberty (4/1), Fangorn (14/1)

If AL AMEEN pulls out only a little more for a first-time tongue tie then he could be the answer here under William Buick. G'Daay's overall record suggests there's every chance he'll bounce straight back from a lesser run last time and he's feared most ahead of Baliey's Liberty.
