Fantasy Believer²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Billy Loughnane⁽³⁾| T: E Walker| OR: 84| D

5/2

Dual 1m winner in 2022 who got right back on track when second of 9 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good, 12/1) 26 days ago. Has to be taken seriously despite a 3 lb rise in the weights.

Form: 59-9882

(4)

Cry Havoc²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Ray Dawson| T: Rae Guest| OR: 84

25/1

125/1, failed to come on for recent run when ninth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 21 days ago. Others appeal more.

Form: 0116-69

Diamondonthehill¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Oisin Murphy| T: M Dods| OR: 83| D

9/4

5/1, solid third of 11 in handicap at Doncaster (8f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Booking of Murphy a plus. Can give a good account.

Form: 219-863

(7)

Lion's Dream^p1⁹⁸

16/5

Lightly-raced winner. Went the wrong way from promising stable debut when sixth of 9 in handicap (9/4) at Kempton (8f). Off 98 days. Had a wind op and cheekpieces on ahead of his turf debut.

Form: 142-26

(2)

Antiphon²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: David Egan| T: M Murphy & M Keady| OR: 78

9/2

Latest win at Windsor in May. 7/2, not disgraced when fourth of 7 in handicap at Windsor (5.1f, good to firm) 23 days ago. Significantly up in trip and in the mix if his stamina holds out.

Form: 8-04124

(3)

One For The Frog^t¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Harry Davies⁽³⁾| T: S Woods| OR: 74

12/1

Got off the mark (dead heated) in 6-runner minor event at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in April. Not discredited given he went keenly when seventh of 11 in handicap at Pontefract (8f, good) 19 days ago. One for the shortlist.

Form: 232-417

Forecasts

Diamondonthehill (9/4), Fantasy Believer (5/2), Lion's Dream (16/5), Antiphon (9/2), One For The Frog (12/1), Goddess Of Fire (12/1), Cry Havoc (25/1)

FANTASY BELIEVER was a two-time scorer in 2022 and signalled he is ready to go in again when an excellent second at Newmarket last time out so gets the vote. Goddess of Fire didn't enjoy the rub of the green when only seventh over C&D and this three-time C&D scorer can bounce back. In-form pair One For The Frog and Diamondonthehill both need factoring in too.
