C&D winner in May. Respectable second of 7 in handicap (9/2) at Goodwood (8f, good) 19 days ago. Place possibilities.

Form: 144-712

(9)

Crystal Casque¹⁰²

(11)

Mr Mistoffelees^v1³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Rob Hornby| T: H Morrison| OR: 80| CD

15/2

C&D winner. Respectable 1½ lengths fourth of 12 to Botas in handicap (11/2) at this C&D 35 days ago. Visor on 1st time and will be danger to all if the headgear has the desired effect.

Form: 709-034

200/1

125/1, first run since leaving Edward Bethell when last of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW). Off 128 days and it's easy enough to look elsewhere.

Desfondado²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Hollie Doyle| T: S Dow| OR: 73| D

16/1

Latest win at Lingfield in April. 15/2, ninth of 13 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) 23 days ago, not knocked about. One to consider back on the AW.

Form: 0-26149

(10)

Hakuna Babe³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Saffie Osborne| T: E Walker| OR: 72

20/1

6/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at Leicester (8.2f, good to soft) 30 days ago. Shaped well over 7f here on sole previous AW start on debut in October 2022. One for the shortlist.

Form: 231-928

(1)

Swift Victory¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: N Callan| T: J Tate| OR: 80| CD

10/3

C&D winner. Seventh of 9 in handicap (10/1) at Haydock (8.2f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Down 2 lb and he has to enter calculations.

Form: 3821-47

(12)

Highland Spring²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: W J Haggas| OR: 79

14/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 8 in handicap (7/2) at Musselburgh (9f, good) 25 days ago (subsequently found to be lame). Makes polytrack debut and, with improvement likely, he's one to consider.

2/1

10/3, good third of 10 in handicap at this course (7f) 21 days ago. Likely to be on the premises off the same mark.

Form: 371-443

(7)

Dream Pirate^b¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Ray Dawson| T: T Kent| OR: 67| D

28/1

17/2, good sixth of 11 in handicap at Goodwood (9f, good) 19 days ago. Likely to find one or two too good once again.

Form: 9-72646

(6)

Galloping On^b²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: R Kingscote| T: C G Cox| OR: 77

18/1

Blinkered for 1st time, creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at this course (7f, 20/1) 21 days ago. Not without each-way hope.

10/1

Form: 764

Forecasts

Spun To Gold (2/1), Swift Victory (10/3), Botas (6/1), Mr Mistoffelees (15/2), Sheila's Paradise (10/1), Highland Spring (14/1), Desfondado (16/1), Galloping On (18/1), Hakuna Babe (20/1), Dream Pirate (28/1), Troon (50/1), Crystal Casque (100/1), Mint Edition (200/1)

SWIFT VICTORY didn't show much on turf recently but he's better judged on his encouraging C&D reappearance last month and the James Tate-trained colt could be the answer to this competitive handicap. Next on the list is Hakuna Babe, while Highland Spring remains capable of better and is also shortlisted, along with Mr Mistoffelees and Spun To Gold.
