Desert Cop¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 100| CD

11/1

Useful gelding. C&D winner. Twenty-second of 24 in handicap (40/1) at Ayr (6f, good) 11 days ago. No easy task on these terms on the balance of his form but his AW record is a positive one.

Form: 726070

28/1

Useful mare. C&D winner. Creditable third of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 9/1) 27 days ago, running on. Likely to give it a good go but wouldn't want to it to become tactical.

Form: 123703

Mischief Magic¹⁰³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby| OR: 111| CD

4/5

Smart performer. Tongue strap on for first time, below form 7¼ lengths eighth of 13 to Shaquille in Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm, 33/1). Off 103 days (gelded) but in top hands and he's fancied to bounce back eased markedly in class.

Form: 1141-88

Forecasts

Mischief Magic (4/5), Never Just A Dream (4/1), Misty Grey (5/1), Desert Cop (11/1), Brad The Brief (14/1), Aramis Grey (28/1), Baldomero (33/1)

A very useful conditions event with MISCHIEF MAGIC and Brad The Brief expected to fight it out given they drop down from Group 1 company. Marginal preference is for the Godolphin 3-y-o back from a break/gelding operation.
