5/6
Highly-talented veteran who landed Group 3 at Goodwood and Geoffrey Freer over 13f here this summer. Posted another good effort when second to Al Qareem in Cumberland Lodge at Ascot 21 days ago. This course specialist holds excellent form claims.

Took this in 2022 but he's been off for 6 months since trailing in ninth of 10 to Hamish in John Porter Stakes here. Not ruled out though with his yard going very well.

11/1
Has just a debut win to his name but recorded good placed efforts in the John Porter over C&D and York listed summer. Not in same form in Group 3 events at York and Ascot since and needs to bounce back in first-time blinkers.

8/1
Looked a good prospect when scoring here and at Newmarket last autumn but he beat only one in listed race at Epsom (10.1f, good to firm) on his sole start of 2024 6 months ago. Remains with potential though with ground conditions to suit.

Smart colt who comes here on the back of a respectable fourth of 7 to Al Qareem in Cumberland Lodge Stakes at Ascot 21 days ago. One for the shortlist.

3/1
Useful 10f winner but she's been off since coming in only ninth of 13 in listed race at Newmarket (12f, good to firm) 98 days ago. No forlorn hope with ground conditions to suit.

Forecasts

Al Aasy (5/6), Danielle (3/1), Feigning Madness (8/1), Salt Bay (11/1), God's Window (12/1), Max Vega (22/1)

Verdict

Multiple course winner AL AASY is proven under these conditions and possesses the best form on offer so is fancied to add to his Geoffrey Freer success here in the summer and garner a third victory of 2024. Max Vega took this prize in 2022 and could emerge as the main danger with his stable among the winners. The Gosdens' pair God's Window and Danielle also need considering.
