17/2
C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Ran well when second of 8 in handicap at Kempton (12f, 18/1) 35 days ago, despite having been left poorly placed. Capable of getting involved.

9/2
Confirmed reappearance promise when winning at Windsor in May and improved further when third of 18 in handicap (12/1) at York (11.8f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Can score again with cheekpieces on 1st time.

After 9 months off, looked rusty on first outing since leaving Joseph Patrick O'Brien when fifth of 9 in handicap at Kempton (12f, 66/1) 14 days ago. This run should reveal more.

3/1
Better than ever returned to the Flat when winning 9-runner handicap at Salisbury (14.2f, good to firm, 13/2) 11 days ago. Could still have more to offer on the level, so he's not taken lightly.

10/1
Failed to come on for recent run when eighth of 10 in handicap at Chester (12.3f, good, 25/1) 11 days ago. Won twice at this C&D last season, though, so could fare better back at this venue.

5/1
Again ran well when fifth of 9 in handicap at Goodwood (12f, good to firm, 16/1) 11 days ago, despite being unsuited by way race developed. Can give her running as she goes back up in trip.

20/1
C&D winner. Operating below best at present, fourth of 5 in handicap at Southwell (16.5f, 13/2) 30 days ago. Has dropped to 3 lb below his success at Lingfield in January, though, as he returns to turf.

3/1
Shaped better than distance beaten suggests when eighth of 11 in handicap (22/1) at Goodwood (2m, good to firm) 12 days ago. Successful twice here last season and he's now 1 lb below his last winning mark.

Forecasts

Bashful Boy (3/1), Alpine Stroll (3/1), Splendent (9/2), Single (5/1), Protected Guest (17/2), Blistering Barney (10/1), Mukha Magic (20/1), Isle Of Sark (28/1)

Verdict

SPLENDENT has been going the right way this season, successful at Windsor in May before improving again when third at York 9 days later, so he can resume winning ways with cheekpieces now on. Heading the list of dangers is Bashful Boy, who looked better than ever back on the Flat on his latest outing, ahead of Protected Guest.

  1. Splendent9/2
  2. Bashful Boy3/1
  3. Protected Guest17/2
