Charging Thunder^p¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-4| J: W Buick| T: D O'Meara| OR: 92| C| D

3/1

Boasts a good strike rate and has returned to form lately, so this course winner can't be ruled out provided he gets his own way in front.

Form: 559034

Capital Theory⁹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: F Norton| T: C Johnston| OR: 88

9/2

On the up with 3 AW wins in December and gained further success at Chelmsford in March. Sub-par effort on the Rowley Course 3 months ago and hasn't been seen since.

Hasty Sailor^t⁶⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: David Probert| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 86| D

17/2

Was a neck second on the Rowley Course in May, form which has been boosted by the winner since. Underlined inconsistency at Doncaster next time but could get back on track after a 2-month break, so merits consideration.

Form: 870-725

Tashi¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: T Ward| OR: 82| D

20/1

Just the 1 win from 21 starts for Sheila Lavery in Ireland and went the wrong way from an encouraging start for this yard when failing to beat a rival at Newbury last time. Others preferred.

Form: 090-307

Reina Del Mar²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Saffie Osborne| T: E Walker| OR: 78| CD

10/11

Won readily over C&D in June and backed it up with a good third here 3 weeks ago. Remains on a fair mark and should take the beating in quite a weak race for the grade.

Forecasts

Reina Del Mar (10/11), Charging Thunder (3/1), Capital Theory (9/2), Toshizou (11/2), Intinso (7/1), Howth (8/1), Hasty Sailor (17/2), Tashi (20/1)

REINA DEL MAR arrives in top form and is proven at the track, so she's preferred to Hasty Sailor, who could get back on track after a couple of months off. Charging Thunder is in good order and could prove hard to peg back if allowed an easy lead.
