10/1, last of 14 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 67 days ago, not ideally placed. No forlorn hope.

King David¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Hollie Doyle| T: M Botti| OR: 68

7/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 7 in handicap at Epsom (7f, good to firm, 14/1) 19 days ago so needs to get back on track.

(7)

Havana Touch²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Darragh Keenan| T: J Butler| OR: 66| D

3/1

Excellent second of 8 in handicap at this C&D (5/1) 28 days ago, travelling fluently and pulling clear of rest. Has to be taken seriously despite a 4 lb rise.

Form: 8731-52

(5)

Hurricane Power^p¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Tom Marquand| T: P & O Cole| OR: 63

20/1

5/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 13 days ago. Can give a good account if shrugging off latest effort.

Form: 8-37857

Forecasts

Havana Touch (3/1), Sustained (5/1), Star Mind (5/1), Flag Carrier (5/1), Fihrayn (13/2), King David (7/1), Aljezur (12/1), Hurricane Power (20/1)

None of these can be dismissed but HAVANA TOUCH signalled he's ready to go in again when an excellent second over C&D last time out so gets the vote. Star Mind is feared most on the back of her good Newmarket second, with Flag Carrier, Aljezur and Sustained also in the picture.
