10/1

€34,000 Study of Man gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to 11.6f winner Dragon Dancer and temperamental winner up to 2¼m (stayed 21.5f) Ajaan (both smart). The betting should guide to expectations on debut.

1/7

Pretty useful form when runner-up in maidens at Doncaster (7f) and Chelmsford (1m) in May. Unable to make an impact in the Britannia at Royal Ascot since but still very much the one to beat here.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Harry Davies| T: S & E Crisford

17/2

14/1, eighth of 10 in novice at Wolverhampton (8.6f) on debut in December. That was quite a good race for the time of year and he's a potential improver back from 6 months off.

Forecasts

Competizione (1/7), Hachiman (17/2), Alther Walden (10/1), Star Chasing (14/1), Strobelight (22/1), Dust Cover (25/1), Typeface (66/1), Questa Notte (80/1), Chalta (100/1)

This looks a very good opportunity for COMPETIZIONE to get off the mark. Hachiman has the potential to step up on December's AW debut and might be the one to chase home the selection unless the betting vibes are strong surrounding George Scott newcomer Alther Walden.
