Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: Ray Dawson| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 95| D

17/2

Ex-Irish 6f/7f scorer but yet to build upon his encouraging debut for this yard at Royal Ascot. Will at least find this less competitive and conditions not a problem.

Form: 050700

Wodao^t⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Saffie Osborne| T: J A Osborne| OR: 92

4/1

Listed winner in Ireland for Donnacha O'Brien but lost his way last season and just respectable efforts at best for this yard this term. However, was fourth in a better race than this at Ascot 9 days ago and is proven under testing conditions.

Form: 97-8304

Baldomero^b¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Jason Watson| T: M Appleby| OR: 91| CD

10/3

As good as ever when making all in 9-runner handicap at Doncaster (6.5f, good to soft, 10/1) last month and not disgraced off revised mark at Ripon since. Won over C&D (off 3 lb lower) under similar conditions in the spring so should go well again.

Spanish Star¹⁰²

Age: 9| Weight: 9-1| J: Hollie Doyle| T: P R Chamings| OR: 84| CD

5/1

Four-time C&D winner, including this race in 2021 and 2022, but only sixth in this last season and further signs of decline this term.

Form: 6-44600

Chairmanoftheboard^v¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-0| J: Edward Greatrex| T: J Channon| OR: 83| CD

5/1

Losing run is mounting up but went close off 3 lb higher at Newbury in the spring and probably needed the run at Haydock 2 weeks ago after 5 months off. Interesting.

Form: 9-82300

Alcazan⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: Hayley Turner| T: R A Teal| OR: 81| CD

3/1

Bagged handicaps at Ascot and Brighton during the summer and resumed winning ways with a career best at former course last week. Player if handling these conditions (unraced on going softer than good to soft).

Form: 116461

Forecasts

Alcazan (3/1), Baldomero (10/3), Wodao (4/1), Chairmanoftheboard (5/1), Spanish Star (5/1), Coachello (17/2)

Claims can be made for all 6 but it could be worth chancing CHAIRMANOFTHEBOARD off a tempting mark. Wodao and Coachello are feared most dropping in class.
