7/2

4/1, shaped better than the result again when seventh of 11 in handicap at Wetherby (2m, good to firm) 27 days ago, still going well when shuffled back approaching final 1f. On a good mark.

Willolarupi¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Zak Wheatley⁽³⁾| T: D Carroll| OR: 71

12/1

Latest win at Redcar in May. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, firm, 6/1) 19 days ago, unable to sustain effort.

Form: 5-62126

(8)

Mister Invincible¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 73

33/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Good fifth of 10 on handicap debut at Doncaster (7f, good to firm, 25/1) 18 days ago. An unexposed profile provides the hope that he may build on that.

Form: 5355

Forecasts

Native Instinct (7/2), Reidh (7/2), Vince Le Prince (4/1), Benacre (6/1), Finbar's Lad (7/1), Willolarupi (12/1), Bellarchi (14/1), King Chaos (22/1), Intervention (28/1), Mister Invincible (33/1)

REIDH is almost certainly in much better form than his recent results suggest and is worth siding with having dipped to a good mark. Ed Bethell won this last year and unexposed 3-y-o Native Instinct may provide the main threat ahead of Vince Le Prince.
