Mr Wagyu^v⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-10| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 96| CD

9/4

Admirable sprinter who enjoyed another fine campaign last season, landing a big pot at the Curragh. Right back on track when third of 14 in the Dash at Epsom 7 days ago. This C&D winner looks sure to make a bold bid off an unchanged mark.

Form: 05-0873

Silver Samurai^p1²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: B A Curtis| T: M Botti| OR: 95| CD

7/1

Yet to hit top form in three runs this term but he took this event 12 months ago and it would come as no surprise if he got back on track in first-time cheekpieces off an easing mark.

Form: 363-490

Volatile Analyst^h²¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Billy Garritty| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 93| D

50/1

Landed 6f Doncaster listed event last March but his form nosedived after, only eighth of 10 in similar company there on his final start. Off 7 months with something to prove.

Fools Rush In¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 92| C| D

18/1

Course winner but he's yet to fire this season, only seventh of 10 in handicap at York (7f) 14 days ago. Needs to take a big step forward.

Form: 554-707

Raatea^p1,h³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: James Doyle| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 90| D

13/2

Useful handicapper who scored at Newcastle (6f) last June. Resumed with a solid fifth of 21 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, soft) 35 days ago. Cheekpieces on for the first time and in the mix.

Form: 10464-5

Nomadic Empire^p²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: N Callan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 89| D

20/1

Useful at his best and scored at Sakhir in December. Yet to hit top form in 2023 though, tenth of 13 in handicap at York (5f, firm) 23 days ago. Cheekpieces go back on with more required.

Form: 13-4070

(9)

All The King's Men^b,t⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: R L Moore| T: G Boughey| OR: 89

10/3

Has taken his form up a level for his present yard, successful at Lingfield (7f) in January and eye-catching third of 12 in 8.5f Epsom handicap 8 days ago when not enjoying a clear run. Has form over this trip in France and interesting off an unchanged mark.

Form: 7-13233

Illusionist²³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: S H James| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 88| D

40/1

Bagged 5f York handicap last May but lightly raced since and he went backwards from his return when twelfth of 13 in handicap at York (5f, firm) 23 days ago. Something to prove.

Form: 06/14-30

Emperor Spirit^p,t²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: L Dettori| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 87| D

10/1

Just second outing for his current yard when winning at Lingfield (6f, AW) in April. Failed to back it up though when sixth at Thirsk (6f) 21 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 6-43716

(7)

Music Society¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 8-12| J: Cam Hardie| T: T D Easterby| OR: 84| D

20/1

Fairly useful 6f winner but his run of good form came to an end when twelfth of 14 in handicap at York (5f) 14 days ago. Sort to bounce back.

Form: 31-0220

(13)

Devil's Angel⁸⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 8-12| J: P J McDonald| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 84| CD

40/1

C&D winner who wasn't disgraced after 5 months off when tenth of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 88 days ago. Needs considering eased 1 lb.

Form: 51507-0

Cooperation^h²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: Marco Ghiani| T: M Murphy & M Keady| OR: 80| D

6/1

Resumed winning ways in 6f handicap at Thirsk in May and posted a solid fourth off 4 lb higher mark at Asscot (6f) four weeks ago. Should go well again off the same mark.

Form: 234-714

Forecasts

Mr Wagyu (9/4), All The King's Men (10/3), Cooperation (6/1), Raatea (13/2), Silver Samurai (7/1), Lethal Nymph (8/1), Emperor Spirit (10/1), Lucky Man (12/1), Fools Rush In (18/1), Nomadic Empire (20/1), Music Society (20/1), Illusionist (40/1), Devil's Angel (40/1), Volatile Analyst (50/1)

ALL THE KING'S MEN is thriving under the expert tuteleage of George Boughey and can build on his eye-catching Epsom third to gain a second success for the yard. C&D winner Mr Wagyu looked back to his best when third in the Dash at Epsom and rates a big threat though, while last year's victor Silver Samurai is also weighted to have a say. Lucky Man and Lethal Nymph complete the shortlist.
