Streets Of Gold⁵⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 102| C| D

7/1

Unbeaten in 5 starts as a 2-y-o. Winless subsequently but produced an effort akin to his best when sixth of 21 in Victoria Cup at Ascot (7f) in May. Seemed stretched by longer trip in Royal Hunt Cup latest and return to 7f in his favour here.

Form: 305-960

Carrytheone^h,t¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: Saffie Osborne| T: M L W Bell| OR: 101| D

2/1

Back to form with a bang for new yard when winning big-field handicap at Newmarket in May and better than result in valuable contests since, latest when fifth of 18 at Ascot (7f, good) 12 days ago. Merits consideration.

Form: 901345

Rahmi^b,t¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: D E Sheehy| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 95| D

11/2

Perked up by first-time blinkers when good third of 15 in handicap at the Curragh (6.3f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Remains feasibly treated and is one for shortlist.

Form: 6-02073

Aalto¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: T E Whelan| T: Ian Williams| OR: 94| D

11/4

Useful sort who posted a career best when running out a 2-length winner of the Bunbury Cup at Newmarket (7f) last month. Far from disgraced at Ascot since and is likely to go well again.

Form: 245219

Greatgadian^t1⁴⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: R Varian| OR: 90

20/1

Come close on a couple of occasions at Newcastle earlier this year but rather gone backwards since, well down the field at Royal Ascot latest. Tongue strap on first time.

Form: 362200

Maywake²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 90| D

7/1

Successful at Thirsk and Sandown last season, and ended 2023 with a solid effort in defeat at Doncaster. Turned in best effort of the season when sixth in York handicap (7f, good to soft) latest and claims if building on that.

Form: 103-006

(4)

Tanmawwy^h¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 8-2| J: Amie Waugh⁽⁵⁾| T: H Main| OR: 78

14/1

Offered more than previously this term when fifth at Haydock (7f) last month but failed to build on that at York latest and makes limited appeal. Hood back on.

Forecasts

Carrytheone (2/1), Aalto (11/4), Akkadian Thunder (3/1), Rahmi (11/2), Streets Of Gold (7/1), Maywake (7/1), Jumby (10/1), Gorak (12/1), Tanmawwy (14/1), Greatgadian (20/1)

AKKADIAN THUNDER was value for more than the winning margin at Doncaster last month and remains with potential. He is fancied to follow up in the finale. Carrytheone and Rahmi are feared most.
