(4)

Cosmic View¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: F Norton| T: S & E Crisford

80/1

Stepped forward from debut when fifth in a novice at Lingfield recently but will need more marked improvement if he's to open his account at the first attempt.

Form: 05

(8)

Davideo¹⁸⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: B A Curtis| T: R M Beckett

5/1

Bred to be useful and improved markedly from his debut when runner-up at Kempton 6 months ago. Type to better still, particularly with the extra distance to suit, so looks a player.

Form: 02-

(2)

Dubawi Warrior

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: A J Farragher⁽³⁾| T: W J Haggas

14/1

Dubawi colt. Half-brother to useful winner up to 1m Al Mubhir. Dam smart winner up to 9f (2-y-o 7f winner). Makes appeal on pedigree.

Hidden Story²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: James Doyle| T: C Appleby

9/4

Expensive son of Dubawi who just failed to make a winning start at Nottingham and looks capable of going one better with progress on the cards.

Form: 2

(6)

Manxman¹⁸⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Harry Burns⁽³⁾| T: S & E Crisford

66/1

200,000 gns yearling, Cracksman colt. Half-brother to high-class winner up to 1¼m Dubai Honour. Low-key debut at Kempton 6 months ago and might be brought along gradually.

Form: 0-

(3)

Mythical Guest²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: J F Egan| T: G G Margarson

100/1

Half-brother to several winners and showed some ability at Yarmouth first time out. Might be more of a handicap type, however.

Form: 6

(5)

New York Bay

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Sorin Moldoveanu⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss Gay Kelleway

150/1

€12,000 foal, £15,000 2-y-o, New Bay gelding. Half-brother to 2-y-o 6f winner Klosters. Dam, ran once, out of French/US 9f-11f winner Snow Polina, including Grade 1 9.5f event.

Form:

(9)

Savanna King²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Cieren Fallon| T: J & T Gosden

18/1

Well related and shaped with some encouragement when fifth at Yarmouth on debut. Longer trip will suit and he's open to improvement, so not a forlorn hope.

Form: 5

(13)

Sniper's Eye¹³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: J P Spencer| T: D M Simcock| BF

14/1

Quite an expensive purchase from the Breeze-Ups and started nicely under a considerate ride when fourth in a Wolverhampton maiden 4 months ago. One to consider.

Form: 4

(10)

Syllabus²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Hollie Doyle| T: W J Haggas

5/2

Sea The Stars who shaped well amidst inexperience when fourth here a month ago. Should build on that but has a bit to find with a couple of these rivals.

Form: 4

(12)

Vaguely Royal²⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: K Shoemark| T: J & T Gosden

18/5

Bred in the purple and offered plenty to work on when third of 7 in maiden at Yarmouth (8f, good to firm) on debut in September. In good hands and looks a likely improver this season.

Form: 3-

(11)

Plus Point¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: George Wood| T: Harry Eustace

150/1

Hasn't shown enough in two starts to date to think she can feature in this.

Form: 8-9

(1)

Portraitist

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Laura Pearson⁽³⁾| T: D Loughnane

80/1

£20,000 yearling, Awtaad filly. Closely related to 1m-1½m winner Cape Freedom and half-sister to 1¼m-1½m winner Lyrical Attraction and 1¼m winner Classical Memories.

Forecasts

Hidden Story (9/4), Syllabus (5/2), Vaguely Royal (18/5), Davideo (5/1), Sniper's Eye (14/1), Dubawi Warrior (14/1), Savanna King (18/1), Manxman (66/1), Portraitist (80/1), Cosmic View (80/1), Mythical Guest (100/1), Plus Point (150/1), New York Bay (150/1)

HIDDEN STORY ran a big race when narrowly denied at Nottingham first time out and, at a track where his stable boasts an excellent record, he takes preference over Davideo, who improved markedly when second at Kempton.
