Prontissimo^t,v²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen| T: P Owens| OR: 87| D

5/1

Won a couple of times last season. Yet to hit the same heights this year but he was better than the result over 7f at Sandown and he'd be very capable off this mark if back near his best. Return to 6f also in his favour.

Form: 19-6424

Celsius⁵³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: R Havlin| T: Tom Clover| OR: 87| BF

18/1

Became increasingly untrustworthy last year, but back on track this season with victories in 5f handicaps at Ascot and here (July course). Well held when bidding for the hat-trick at Goodwood but was subsequently found to have an irregular heartbeat.

Form: 946-110

Mellys Flyer^h¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: George Scott| OR: 82| D

11/1

Won over 6f on the July course here this summer and just as good when second at Epsom since. Likely to go well again.

Form: 166712

Equiano Springs²²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-8| J: T P Queally| T: T P Tate| OR: 81| CD

10/3

Won this race last year and added to his tally on the July course here last month. A 5 lb rise for that was enough to find him out over 7f at Thirsk since but this more his trip.

Form: 3-45416

Wonderful World⁷⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Dane O'Neill| T: M R Channon| OR: 83| BF| D

18/1

Ended last year with success in a soft-ground Doncaster nursery (6f) in November. Started this season off reasonably well but he does need to bounce back from a below-par run at Chester last time.

Form: 21-6426

(8)

Twelfth Knight^p¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Mr Taylor Fisher⁽⁷⁾| T: A Watson| OR: 82| D

8/1

Dual 6f winner who probably wasn't suited by the step up to 7f when below par at Ascot last time. Has dropped to only 1 lb above the mark he was successful from at Yarmouth at the start of the summer.

Form: 210346

Akkeringa^t⁴⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Ray Dawson| T: S C Williams| OR: 78| D

5/1

Back to form with a 6f July course success on penultimate start. Much better than the bare result (badly hampered) at Doncaster last time. Worth another chance to show he's still on a good mark.

Form: 36-6910

Shark Two One⁷⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Hayley Turner| T: Jessica Macey| OR: 75| D

16/1

Drawn a blank since his 2-y-o days, leaving Richard Fahey after finishing a below-form fifth at Haydock last time. Probably best watched on this first outing for a new stable.

Form: 9-02675

Got No Dollars^t¹²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Luke Catton⁽⁵⁾| T: S C Williams| OR: 73| D

28/1

Has notched 4 AW wins since joining this yard. Creditable third over 7f at Kempton last time. Below form both turf starts but it's too soon to suggest he won't prove effective on the grass.

Form: 112253

(7)

Hello Zabeel³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: J P Spencer| T: C Fellowes| OR: 73

8/1

Things went against him over 6f at Pontefract last time (final start for Kevin Ryan) and prior to that he'd been shaping as if a return to sprinting would suit him. One to keep at eye on in the betting now setting out for a new stable.

Form: 1-63338

(4)

Alcazan¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: Cieren Fallon| T: R A Teal| OR: 67| D

15/2

All 5 wins on AW but showed she's effective on turf when third of 11 at Ascot last time. Remains 1 lb above her highest successful mark, though.

Form: 613583

Forecasts

Equiano Springs (10/3), Prontissimo (5/1), Akkeringa (5/1), Alcazan (15/2), Hello Zabeel (8/1), Twelfth Knight (8/1), Mellys Flyer (11/1), Abate (14/1), Shark Two One (16/1), Celsius (18/1), Wonderful World (18/1), Got No Dollars (28/1)

AKKERINGA just didn't get the chance to show what he could do at Doncaster last time and remains nicely treated on the form he showed when successful on the July course prior to that so he gets the nod. Mellys Flyer, Celsius and the selection's stablemate Got No Dollars head the dangers.
