Tides Of War⁴⁹

7/1

Turned in his best effort for this yard in a first-time hood after 3 months off (also gelded) when third in 8-runner handicap at Goodwood (14f) on UK debut 49 days ago, travelling better than most. Smart at best when trained in France so on a good mark if building on that.

Form: 56-7003

Real Dream^t⁵⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: R Kingscote| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 91| BF

5/6

Won a Doncaster maiden and made light of an 11-month absence when following up in 1½m Kempton handicap. Decent third at York since and step up in trip will suit. Better to come.

Form: 451-13

Rhythmic Intent²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-12| J: James Doyle| T: S C Williams| OR: 91

10/1

Useful sort who bagged Mallard Handicap at Doncaster in September 2021. Lightly raced since and built on his reappearance run when fourth in handicap here (12f) last month. Flying too high next time and type to bounce back.

Form: 0/03-646

Crescent Lake²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: T P Queally| T: G & J Moore| OR: 84| D

11/2

Better than ever for current yard this year, winning 3 times, including over this trip at Goodwood last month. Remains of interest.

Form: 314141

Green Team¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: B A Curtis| T: Ian Williams| OR: 84

8/1

Useful performer at best but comfortably held all 4 starts in Meydan this year for present stable and no upturn for return to these shores last 3 starts.

Form: 040770

Star Caliber^h²²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Hayley Turner| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 77

10/1

On a losing run and yet to get seriously competitive this year, failing to beat a rival at Goodwood the last twice. Others make more appeal.

Forecasts

Real Dream (5/6), Apparate (7/2), Crescent Lake (11/2), Tides Of War (7/1), Green Team (8/1), Rhythmic Intent (10/1), Star Caliber (10/1), Red Flyer (16/1), Vaynor (16/1)

Low-mileage 4-y-o REAL DREAM has improved with each run and he surely has more to offer still over this longer trip. Apparate made an encouraging start for his new yard when just denied at Doncaster after a long absence and is entitled to come on for that, while the thriving Crescent Lake also needs considering.
