Cracking Gold⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Billy Loughnane| T: C G Cox| OR: 90| D

10/3

Won 7f novices at Kempton and Lingfield before acquitting himself well in small-field handicaps in the spring. No show in Brittania latest but in calmer waters now and can make presence felt.

Form: 11240

Monkey Island¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Harry Davies| T: B J Meehan| OR: 87| D

7/2

Off the mark at Newbury (7f) in May and back to that sort of form when creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Big player.

Form: 70-105

Usuario Amigo⁶³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S De Sousa| T: James Owen| OR: 86| BF

10/3

Proved disappointing on handicap debut at Lingfield last time but had found improvement when second here (8f) previously and remains with potential (gelded since last start).

Form: 3425

Quatre Bras^p1¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: N Callan| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 85| D

6/1

Found improvement (had been gelded) when runner-up at Sandown in June and backed that up with good third of 5 in handicap at Haydock (7f, soft) 14 days ago. Cheekpieces now applied and warrants respect.

Form: 15-9023

Eminny¹⁶⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 83| D

14/1

Fairly-useful dual 7f winner at 2. Returned with good second at Kempton (7f) in February but not in same form at same course next time and has something to prove back from 6 months off here.

Form: 4320-27

Run Boy Run^p²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Saffie Osborne| T: R Spencer| OR: 80

4/1

Proved largely consistent since scoring at Newcastle (6f) in March, latest when creditable second of 13 in handicap over C&D (good, 14/1) 22 days ago, first home in group. Likely to give another good account but others look better treated.

Forecasts

Usuario Amigo (10/3), Cracking Gold (10/3), Monkey Island (7/2), Run Boy Run (4/1), Jungle Mac (5/1), Quatre Bras (6/1), Eminny (14/1)

This can go to MONKEY ISLAND, who finished with running left when fifth at Doncaster last time and remains low mileage. Usuario Amigo and Cracking Gold are feared most.
