Latest win at Musselburgh in April. 16/1, 7½ lengths ninth of 11 to Highfield Princess in King George Stakes at Goodwood (5f, soft) 27 days ago. Worthy of respect in more realistic scenario.
|
Course winner. 7½ lengths seventh of 10 to King Gold in Prix Maurice de Gheest (20/1) at Deauville (6.5f, soft) 25 days ago. Back down in trip. Every chance if back to best in this handicap.
|
Fifteen wins from 57 Flat runs. Respectable seventh of 21 in handicap (12/1) at York (6f, firm). Off 106 days. Dropped 2 lb since last run, so capable of featuring after a short break.
|
C&D winner. 12/1, creditable third of 14 in handicap at this C&D 62 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Likeable sort who can't be ruled out.
|
C&D winner. Eight wins from 31 Flat runs. 4 wins from 10 runs this year. Twenty third of 27 in handicap (28/1) at Goodwood (6f, heavy) 26 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Ruth Carr. Not completely dismissed.
|
C&D winner. 50/1, ninth of 14 in handicap at Sandown (5f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Still finding his feet for this stable, so others make more appeal.
|
Unreliable sort. Twenty one runs since last win in 2020. Below form seventh of 12 in handicap (22/1) at Goodwood (5f, good to soft) 30 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Others more persuasive.
|
Twenty three runs since last win in 2021. Creditable fifth of 14 in handicap at Sandown (5f, good to firm, 12/1) 11 days ago. Not discounted.
|
Good second of 20 in handicap (9/1) at York (5.4f, good to firm) 8 days ago. Expected to be bang there.
|
Last of 10 in handicap (7/1) at Ascot (6f, good) 19 days ago. Unbeaten in 2 visits here, so can't be written off.
|
Course winner. Latest win at Haydock in May. Eleventh of 14 in handicap at Sandown (5f, good to firm, 8/1) 11 days ago. Has work to do.
|
5-time C&D winner. Latest win at Doncaster in July. 7/1, creditable sixth of 14 in handicap at Sandown (5f, good to firm) 11 days ago, finishing with running left. Can get involved if the race is run to suit.
|
10/1, good second of 13 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Solid claims.

Forecasts
Rohaan (10/3), Alligator Alley (9/2), Batal Dubai (11/2), Badri (13/2), Silky Wilkie (8/1), Fine Wine (11/1), Arecibo (12/1), Swayze (14/1), Acklam Express (18/1), Dakota Gold (25/1), Dusky Lord (25/1), Antiphon (28/1), Be Proud (33/1)
ROHAAN is the class act in this field and, while his win at this track came from a much lower mark earlier in his career, it was a quite remarkable performance, so he's worth chancing. Alligator Alley arrives on the back of an excellent effort in a hot race at York and he's of obvious interest along with Batal Dubai, who defends an unbeaten course record.
