Just about better than ever when landing 7-runner handicap in the mud at Goodwood 3 weeks ago, keeping on well. Hit with a 7 lb rise so needs to crank it up another notch.

Landed hat-trick in 2021 and got over whatever ailed him at Hamilton when cashing in on a drop in class at Newcastle in September. Off the track since and has left Archie Watson, so well-being is an unknown for all he's joined another successful yard.

Landed a third Chester success of his career in June. Found just one too strong on next 2 starts (including to the smart Spirit Dancer) but must bounce back from a tame effort at York.

Won on Brighton reappearance (9.9f) in May and placed twice from 4 starts since, latterly when runner-up at Sandown held up in a steadily-run race. That performance confirms she's in top form.

Bumped into a subsequent winner on reappearance in May and went one better having been well backed over C&D last month. Up 5 lb in a deeper race but he's clearly in good nick.

Not scored since spring of last year (over C&D) and doesn't help himself with habitual slow start. That said, he's been given every chance by the assessor.

Won 3 times in 2022 and left her reappearance effort well behind to go in again at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) in May. However, not troubled the judge more recently and is still 7 lb above her last winning mark.

Winless since 2021 but went close over C&D in May. Rather in-and-out since, though Windsor race last time isn't a run to judge him harshly on. Eased further 2 lb.

Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Respectable efforts since fitted with cheekpieces this summer, keeping on for fifth at Newcastle 16 days ago. Back up in trip.

Made it 5 wins from 29 career starts when accounting for 6 rivals at Ayr (1¼m) last month. That was just about a career best but he was found out in a much deeper race at York 3 weeks ago, albeit denied a clear run.

Forecasts

First Impression (4/1), Baryshnikov (5/1), Arthur's Realm (6/1), Box To Box (13/2), Wisper (7/1), Innse Gall (8/1), Sweet Reward (8/1), Dark Pine (12/1), Southern Voyage (12/1), Belhaven (18/1)

Verdict

WISPER is reliant on luck in running given how she's ridden but she's a mare at the very top of her game and she's just about the most persuasive option. First Impression and Sweet Reward both posted career-best efforts last time and demand respect, while Dark Pine and Baryshnikov lurk on a dangerous mark.
