Certain Lad¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: George Bass⁽³⁾| T: J Channon| OR: 105| D

10/3

Group 3 winner in 2020 and still capable of very useful form, underlined by his latest success in a 12-runner event at York last time. Should go well again.

Form: 006251

Euchen Glen²¹

Age: 10| Weight: 9-9| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 100| C| D

6/1

Useful handicapper and a credit to connections for all he's on a long losing run. Good fourth in Cumberland Lodge Stakes at Ascot last time and likely to give another good account.

Form: 834024

Bill Silvers³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: D Tudhope| T: Harry Eustace| OR: 96| C

5/1

Well bred and much improved from debut when landing 7f course maiden in the mud in April. Struggled up in grade at Goodwood a month ago on only subsequent start and mark demands more.

Form: 416

Mustazeed³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: Hayley Turner| T: Harry Eustace| OR: 88| BF| CD

5/2

C&D winner. Latest win at Newbury in May. 3/1, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Newbury (10f, heavy) 35 days ago, very slowly away. Should feature if the pace is sound.

Form: 92-1174

(5)

Faylaq²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 8-9| J: Alex Jary⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 86

6/1

Now 27 runs since his last win in 2019 but he has run with credit in the main since joining this yard, twelfth in the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket last time.

Form: 330330

Bucephalus¹⁷³

Age: 6| Weight: 8-9| J: Alec Voikhansky⁽⁵⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 82| BF| CD

6/1

Made a winning debut for this yard over C&D in the spring and back on track when second at Windsor. Not seen for 5 months, however, and he's out of the weights.

Form: 522/182

Forecasts

Mustazeed (5/2), Certain Lad (10/3), Bill Silvers (5/1), Maximilian Caesar (5/1), Euchen Glen (6/1), Bucephalus (6/1), Faylaq (6/1), Auld Toon Loon (12/1)

MUSTAZEED is still not fully exposed for his current stable and, if the pace is solid, he might be able to resume winning ways in a tightly-knit affair. Recent-winner Certain Lad is an obvious danger and Euchen Glen should give his running again.
