4/1

Three wins from 10 runs this year, the latest when battling well to shade a close finish over C&D a month ago. Only nudged up 1 lb and should be in the thick of things again.

Awesome Spirit^t¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: L Morris| T: M Appleby| OR: 63

28/1

Fair form in a handful of starts in Ireland. May have needed first outing for 4 months when only seventh of 8 at Lingfield on yard debut 19 days ago. No surprise to see him fare a lot better this time.

Form: 74-0507

28/1

Latest win at Leicester in May. Tongue strap on first time, respectable third of 8 back at Leicester (6f, good) 51 days ago. One to consider, although Billy Loughnane seemingly prefers First Company.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Rob Hornby| T: W S Kittow| OR: 56

Forecasts

The Cola Kid (4/1), Annie Law (4/1), Amber Dew (4/1), Top Button (5/1), Confederation (13/2), Autumn Angel (8/1), First Company (16/1), Northcliff (16/1), King Of Speed (28/1), Awesome Spirit (28/1), Papabella (33/1), Marinakis (100/1)

THE COLA KID is on a roll and might be able to complete a quick hat-trick with Oisin Murphy doing the steering. Annie Law showed a good attitude to come out on top in a blanket finish over C&D last month and is second choice ahead of Mark Loughnane pair King of Speed and First Company.
