Arrives on the up and bagged his second win of 2023 in 7-runner handicap at Newmarket (5f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Well on top at the finish there so not taken lightly despite a 5 lb rise.

Resumed winning ways in 8-runner handicap at Ayr (5f, firm) 33 days ago, always holding on. Up 3 lb but that form has been franked so needs considering.

Fairly useful 5f juvenile winner for Kevin Ryan. Gelded/off 9 months before fading fourteenth of 26 in handicap at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) 34 days ago. Can build on it now.

Is proving inconsistent this year, only fifth of 8 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good to soft) 5 days ago. Visor back on with more required.

Right back on song of late and bids for a hat-trick after successes at Hamitlon and Chester (5.5f, soft) 13 days ago. Expected to be bang there despite a 4 lb rise.

Resumed winning ways at Windsor in June and has backed it up with solid fourth placings at Goodwood and Haydock since. One for the shortlist.

Successful at Yarmouth in April and comes here in good order, third of 8 in handicap at Haydock (5f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Can make his presence felt again.

Best effort of the season when fifth of 9 in handicap at Haydock (5f, firm) 19 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up off an easing mark.

Forecasts

Sir Titus (7/2), Count D'Orsay (5/1), Good Earth (15/2), Desperate Hero (8/1), Stone Circle (17/2), Nomadic Empire (17/2), Mokaatil (10/1), Thunder Moor (12/1), Minnesota Lad (12/1), Faustus (18/1), Angle Land (18/1)

Verdict

COUNT D'ORSAY comes here on a roll so is fancied to defy a 4 lb rise and complete a quick hat-trick at the chief expense of recent Newmarket scorer Good Earth who rates a big danger. In-form pair Sir Titus and Stone Circle are both weighted to have a say too in a competitive sprint.
