Get It⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: P Cosgrave| T: George Baker| OR: 101| CD

6/1

Successful in handicaps over C&D/Epsom and dispelled a lesser effort when landing 25-runner Stewards' Cup at Goodwood (6f) 9 days ago, seen to good effect from his draw/track position. Nudged up only 3 lb but he may find things tougher from this draw.

Thunder Moor^b,t¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Fred Daly⁽⁷⁾| T: G Boughey| OR: 96

40/1

Won twice over 5f at Bahrain in February and posted a career best when winning 11-runner handicap (11/1) at Yarmouth (5.2f, good) 18 days ago, rallying to lead again late on. Worth another crack at this longer trip and rider takes off handy 7 lb.

Aramis Grey¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Callum Shepherd| T: Rae Guest| OR: 94| CD

10/1

Losing run is mounting up but she arrives here in good form, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Goodwood (6f, good to firm) 13 days ago, challenging final 1f and no extra only late on. Likely to give another good account.

Form: 2-28254

Haymaker³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Rob Hornby| T: H Morrison| OR: 89| CD

13/2

2 wins from 5 runs this year. 12/1, creditable third of 17 in handicap at Ascot (5f, good) 30 days ago. Back up in trip. Consistency impossible to knock this season and he's in the mix once more.

Form: 5-21123

Amazonian Dream¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: B R Millman| OR: 88| CD

16/1

3-time C&D winner. 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Creditable ¾-length second of 8 to Palmar Bay in handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 9/2) 14 days ago.

Under The Twilight⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: David Probert| T: M Blake| OR: 88| CD

18/1

Ended last term with success at Salisbury and picked up where she left off when bagging 12-runner C&D handicap in April. Best not judged too harshly on 2 of her 3 subsequent outings and she lines up here just 2 lb above last winning mark.

Form: 51-1576

Navello^t¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: N Callan| T: G Boughey| OR: 88| C| D

33/1

Course winner. Latest win here (5.1f) in June. 16/1, below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Goodwood (5f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Back up in trip. Booking of Callan a plus and he's just 1 lb above his last winning mark.

20/1

Dual winner on all weather during the spring. Largely consistent in defeat since, not seen to best effect when ninth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 11 days ago. Each-way claims returned to turf.

Rhythm N Hooves^b⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: L Morris| T: A Watson| OR: 87| D

28/1

Latest win at Doncaster (6f) in May. 80/1, bit below form 5½ lengths sixteenth of 25 to Get It in Stewards' Cup at Goodwood (6f, good to firm) 9 days ago, not well placed given how the race unfolded. Better showing not ruled out from a handy draw.

Baldomero^v¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: Jason Watson| T: M Appleby| OR: 87| D

40/1

Likeable sort who deservedly opened his account on turf at Goodwood (6f, heavy) in May. Exploits mixed since but far from disgraced after 6 weeks off when 3 lengths fifth of 8 to Palmar Bay in a C&D handicap 2 weeks ago. Each-way claims in a refitted visor.

Form: 214005

Trefor¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: R Havlin| T: C Hills| OR: 90| BF| CD

17/2

C&D winner. 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Latest win at Newmarket in June. Thirteenth of 14 in handicap at York (6f, good to firm, 10/3) 16 days ago, seemingly not 100% on the day. Had looked most progressive prior to that and no surprise to see him get back on the up.

Form: 6-24110

(6)

Elmonjed^b1¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Jim Crowley| T: W J Haggas| OR: 89| BF| D

11/4

Won both starts at 2 yrs and not for the first time this term shaped better than bare result when 1½ lengths third of 8 to Palmar Bay in handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 11/10) 14 days ago, not ideally placed. Blinkers on 1st time and he has a bigger effort in his locker.

Form: 11-633

(5)

Palmar Bay¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Edward Greatrex| T: R M Beckett| OR: 87| CD

6/1

1 win from 3 runs this year. Career best when winning 8-runner handicap (11/2) at this C&D (good to firm) 14 days ago by ¾ length from Amazonian Dream. Remains lightly raced and highly unlikely he's reached his limit yet for leading stable.

Form: 113-961

Equity Law^v1¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: Hayley Turner| T: A M Balding| OR: 85| D

40/1

Latest win at Sandown in April. 7 lengths ninth of 11 to Thunder Moor in handicap at Yarmouth (5.2f, good, 12/1) 18 days ago. First-time visor needs to have a positive effect now.

Form: 43-5159

Indian Creak⁴⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 8-4| J: Rose Dawes⁽⁵⁾| T: J Channon| OR: 79| CD

28/1

5-time C&D winner who landed this race from an 8 lb higher mark 12 months ago. Form has been rather up and down so far this season but a return to this venue in his favour.

Form: 0-07044

Expert Agent²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-4| J: Jack Doughty⁽⁵⁾| T: S C Williams| OR: 79| CD

28/1

3-time winner on all-weather early last year who caused a surprise from sliding mark when winning 11-runner handicap (40/1) at this C&D (good) 28 days ago, suited by way race developed. Remains with handicapping scope on last season's form but this understandably tougher.

Form: 580501

Forecasts

Elmonjed (11/4), Get It (6/1), Palmar Bay (6/1), Haymaker (13/2), Trefor (17/2), Aramis Grey (10/1), Amazonian Dream (16/1), Under The Twilight (18/1), Many A Star (20/1), Indian Creak (28/1), Rhythm N Hooves (28/1), Expert Agent (28/1), Navello (33/1), Baldomero (40/1), Equity Law (40/1), Thunder Moor (40/1)

Not for the first time this season, ELMONJED shaped better than the bare result when third behind re-opposing Palmar Bay over C&D 2 weeks ago. He leaves the distinct impression he has a bigger effort in his locker and first-time blinkers could well put an extra edge on William Haggass' charge. Trefor clearly wasn't himself at York but is a definite threat on his previous exploits. Aforementioned Palmar Bay and Haymaker are others to consider in an ultra-competitive final.
