Atalanta's Boy^h¹⁰⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: H Crouch| T: Martin Smith| OR: 93| CD

14/1

Untrustworthy individual in general but has won 5 times over C&D (including last 2 editions of this race). Below best both starts this, term looking a tricky ride last time. Probably best watched on first run for yard after leaving David Menuisier.

Form: P010-87

Fivethousandtoone^p¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: W Buick| T: A M Balding| OR: 91| D

5/2

Long time without a win but went close at Salisbury on his penultimate outing and ran respectably enough at Newbury (7f) last time. Drop back in trip looks a positive move and he should go well.

Form: 3-50824

Dusky Lord¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian| OR: 90| D

11/4

Latest win at Newmarket in May and showed even better form when second at Goodwood on penultimate outing. Had hopeles task from position at York 11 days ago and has to be taken seriously.

Form: 7-10420

Indian Creak¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: David Probert| T: M R Channon| OR: 87| C| D

11/2

Course winner. Latest win at Windsor in June. Hasn't been seen to best effect on any of his last 3 outings, so could well remain in form and no surprise if he's able to go closer here.

Many A Star²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Tom Marquand| T: P & O Cole| OR: 87| CD

9/4

Made a bright start for this yard, showing improved form to run out a decisive winner at Ascot in May. Back on track winning winning 12-runner handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 29 days ago. Leading player again only 3 lb higher.

Forecasts

Many A Star (9/4), Fivethousandtoone (5/2), Dusky Lord (11/4), Indian Creak (11/2), Punchbowl Flyer (10/1), Atalanta's Boy (14/1), Typhoon Ten (14/1)

DUSKY LORD was never able to get involved at York last time but was in encouraging form prior to that start and isn't yet fully exposed over 6f, so a chance is taken that he'll be able to get the better of recent C&D winner Many A Star in a decent heat. Fivethousandtoone is the pick for third.
