Regal Reality²³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-8| J: P Mulrennan| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 110| D

15/2

Has won a Group 3 every year since 2018, including 6-runner Diomed Stakes at Epsom in June. Not disgraced in Sovereign Stakes at Salisbury last time and he should make his presence felt again.

Form: 815-413

Chichester¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: J Fanning| T: C Johnston| OR: 107| D

22/1

Better than ever on AW last winter and took form to another level when winning listed event at York in June. Shaped as if back in form in Strensall Stakes there last time but has a bit to find with several of these rivals.

Form: 225154

Chindit²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: James Doyle| T: R Hannon| OR: 113| BF| D

5/2

Added a listed race to his tally on his reappearance in May and excelled himself when runner-up in the Lockinge here later that month. Not in quite the same form since but return to this trip will suit.

Form: 68-1263

Light Infantry²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: J P Spencer| T: D M Simcock| OR: 116

11/8

Runner-up twice at Group 1 level in France last summer and consistent in good company this time around, again placed in Prix Jacques le Marois at Deauville last time. Should take all the beating.

Form: 2-37233

(6)

Misty Grey²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 105

28/1

Creditable efforts both starts prior to latest (when race probably came too soon) in Hungerford Stakes at Newbury. Has a bit to find, though, particularly given he's more effective on AW.

Form: 43-0485

(8)

Point Lynas^h¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: E Bethell| OR: 99| D

11/1

Scored at Newcastle in March and has continued in good nick, finding only one too good in a competitive handicap at York last time. Needs to up his game if he's to compete in this higher grade, though.

Form: 162202

Zoology⁷⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Cieren Fallon| T: Harry Eustace| OR: 110

6/1

Zoustar colt who landed 2 of his first 4 starts and has held his own in better company since, staying on well when second in the Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot. Dangerous to rule out for new yard.

Form: 17-142

Forecasts

Light Infantry (11/8), Chindit (5/2), Zoology (6/1), Regal Reality (15/2), Sir Busker (10/1), Point Lynas (11/1), Chichester (22/1), Misty Grey (28/1)

LIGHT INFANTRY is highly likeable and ran up to his best when third in a French Group 1 last time so, down in grade, he's very much the one to beat. Chindit could pose a threat and there's scope for further improvement from Zoology.
