16/1

Latest win at Ascot in May. 22/1, last of 30 in handicap at Royal Ascot (8f, good to firm) 67 days ago. No surprise if he gets back on track and longer trip promises to suit.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: N Callan| T: M Botti| OR: 92| BF

3/1

Winner at Chelmsford City in May. 9/4, third of 9 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good to soft) 43 days ago, slowly away. Should be suited by longer trip, so makes appeal.

Form: 1-8123

Flying Frontier²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Billy Loughnane⁽³⁾| T: J Tate| OR: 89| BF| D

8/1

Lightly-raced winner. Fifth of 7 in handicap (6/4) at Newcastle (12.4f) 29 days ago, not ideally placed. Had looked promising prior to latest effort and things didn't go right, so he's one to be interested in.

Form: 2115

Jeff Koons²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 87| BF

3/1

11/8, fourth of 9 in minor event at Doncaster (10.2f, heavy) 22 days ago, folding. Makes handicap debut. Liable to get back on the up faced with a sounder surface.

Forecasts

Jeff Koons (3/1), Royal Dubai (3/1), Royal Symbol (7/2), Bleak (7/1), Flying Frontier (8/1), Arqoob (12/1), Chasing Aphrodite (16/1), Crystal Delight (18/1), Kitsune Power (20/1), Royal Scandal (28/1), Big Team (40/1)

BLEAK is on the up and posted an excellent effort from the front when runner-up at York last time. That form has been boosted since and he's capable of going one better at the possible expense of Royal Dubai, who should be suited by the longer trip. Jeff Koons is another one to consider in what looks a hot race on paper.
