9/2
Lightly raced and useful 4-y-o who proved no match for his illustrious stablemate Adayar at Doncaster last time but more chance back in a handicap. The fact he's a half-brother to Golden Horn suggests 1½m could suit him.

No win since January 2021. Plenty of creditable efforts this year, including when narrowly denied at Ripon last time but he once again showed his quirky side with a high head carriage. Blinkered first time.

Winner of the Copper Horse at Royal Ascot (1¾m) last year. Below par on both comeback starts this year but he came in for an overly-aggressive ride last time and is probably in better form than that bare result suggests. Given a chance by the handicapper.

Dual winner on July Course here last summer but shaped as if amiss when last seen in a listed race at Lingfield 10 months ago. Best watched on return from absence.

Returned from a gelding op to win a Salisbury maiden and Chester handicap in midsummer. Does need to shrug off a poor run in Melrose at York last time, though.

Won novice at Wolverhampton in December and improved to add to his tally in 1¼m Newbury handicap in July. Runner-up next 2 starts but his run of good form came to a halt when only fourth of 5 at Goodwood last time. First attempt at 1½m.

13/8
Progressive, following 1½m Lingfield AW maiden win with a 2½ lengths sixth of 12 in competitive 3-y-o handicap at Haydock last time. Lightly-raced profile gives him the potential for better again for in-form yard.

Forecasts

Open Champion (13/8), Dhahabi (9/2), Soul Stopper (11/2), Global Heat (13/2), Maytree Respite (8/1), Amtiyaz (17/2), Brunnera (12/1)

Verdict

OPEN CHAMPION is a 3-y-o who likely has more to offer, particularly with his stable in such good form, so he gets the nod. Amtiyaz was better than he was able to show at Haydock last time and could provide the chief threat having been cut some slack by the handicapper.
