Smat colt who arrives on a hat-trick after bagging Prix Robert Papin at Chantilly and Prix Morny at Deauville (by ½ length from Persian Force). Firmly in the picture.

Improving colt who landed Ayr maiden and Thirsk novice in great style before posting an excellent second of 12 to Noble Style in Gimcrack Stakes at York. That form sets the standard. Big player.

Exceed And Excel colt who arrives firmly on the up, emphatically scompleting his hat-trick in Sirenia Stakes at Kempton (6f) 21 days ago. He's very much one to consider.

80/1
Readily made it 2-4 in 6f Newcastle nursery nine days ago but he came in last of 12 to Noble Style in Gimcrack Stakes at York so plenty more is needed in this grade.

125/1-maiden winner at Ffos Las (6f) in July and good efforts since until only 12th in Doncaster conditions event 16 days ago. Faces a very stiff task here.

Gained a third win in July Stakes at Newmarket in July and equalled that form when ½-length second of 5 to Blackbeard in Prix Morny at Deauville last time. Well in the mix again.

Consistent sort who landed Group 3 at Deauville in August before solid third of 5 to stable companion Blackbeard in Prix Morny there since. Much respected.

Zoustar colt who made a striking debut when landing 6f Yarmouth novice 11 days ago, showing a good turn of foot. This is a big step up but he shouldn't be underestimated.

Forecasts

Marshman (15/8), Blackbeard (10/3), Mischief Magic (10/3), Persian Force (6/1), Zoology (11/1), The Antarctic (16/1), Never Just A Dream (80/1), Once More For Luck (250/1)

Verdict

MARSHMAN lost his unbeaten record in the Gimcrack but enhanced his form and reputation when a fine runner-up to Noble Style in that race at York and can quickly resume winning ways in a cracking Middle Park. Charlie Appleby relies on Mischief Magic this time and his fast improving Exceed And Excel colt could prove the biggest threat ahead of Aidan O'Brien's multiple scorer Blackbeard and the unexposed Zoology.
