I Can't Believe¹⁰¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Ray Dawson| T: P D Evans

22/1

Magna Grecia colt. Half-brother to smart winner up to 9f Royal Patronage. Something to work on when eighth (not knocked about) at Windsor 101 days ago and worth monitoring in the betting on first start since leaving John & Thady Gosden.

Form: 8

(5)

Treasure Bay

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: J F Egan| T: Mark Gillard

80/1

Cable Bay gelding. Dam unraced. Doesn't make much appeal on paper.

Ultimate Sapphire

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Taylor Fisher⁽³⁾| T: J Tickle

100/1

Ultra gelding. Closely related to German 9f winner Saphirrouge and half-brother to French 1½m/12.5f winner Shatterhand. Dam unraced. Not an obvious sort on paper.

Desert Footsteps⁶⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Charlie Bennett| T: M P Tregoning

125/1

Bred to need further and hasn't made an impact in two starts to date. Looks more of a handicap type.

Form: 69

(8)

Rising From Embers

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Rob Hornby| T: J Tickle

125/1

Recorder filly. Half-sister to winner up to 1½m Dr Rio. Dam, 7f-1m winner, half-sister to useful 11f winner Carnival Run. Others make more appeal.

(4)

Triumph Of Peace²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Jim Crowley| T: W J Haggas| BF

2/1

Built on debut promise when third in a novice at Lingfield and promises to be suited by the return to this distance, so looks a definite player.

Form: 73

(3)

Upscale^h⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding| OR: 82

2/1

Runner-up in a hood at Haydock on penultimate outing and then seemed unsuited by the track at Chester last time. Headgear goes back on and she sets the standard, so obvious claims.

Form: 2-023

(9)

Zambezi Diamond³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: T E Whelan| T: H Candy

50/1

Related to a couple of winners but didn't show enough at Windsor on debut to make her of serious interest in this.

Form: 8

Forecasts

Triumph Of Peace (2/1), Upscale (2/1), Twisting Physics (9/4), Bamburgh (10/1), I Can't Believe (22/1), Zambezi Diamond (50/1), Treasure Bay (80/1), Ultimate Sapphire (100/1), Desert Footsteps (125/1), Rising From Embers (125/1)

UPSCALE ran well at Haydock on her penultimate outing and her subsequent effort is easy to excuse, so she's fancied to take advantage of what could be a good opportunity. Triumph of Peace should improve again back to 7f, so she's considered a danger and Twisting Physics is a notable newcomer for all that it's taken a while for him to reach the track.
