15/2

Deservedly got his head back in front in 13-runner Yarmouth handicap (1¼m, good to soft) last month, 7 days before finishing a close fourth to the re-opposing Silent Age at Wolverhampton with Londoner, who also renews rivalry, a whisker ahead in third. Multiple winner here and holds solid claims.

7/2

Snapped a losing run stretching back over 3 years when taking a 1½m Newmarket handicap last month. However, he is rather in-and-out nowadays and has unsurprisingly failed to replicate that success in 2 subsequent starts.

16/1

Stint over hurdles last year was both uneventful and short-lived, but looked better than ever with clear-cut Bath (1¼m, heavy) yard debut success in October. Solid efforts next 3 starts (including a near-miss at Chester in May), but shaped as though amiss last time and is probably worth taking on.

Mr Swivell¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: K P De Foy| OR: 93

4/1

Newmarket winner for James Ferguson in 2024 and has improved for new yard this year, winning 3 times and runner-up twice from 5 starts. Pretty impressive from the front at Wolverhampton (8.6f) and 6 lb rise may not be enough to stop him, provided he gets home now moving back up in trip.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: T E Whelan| T: Ian Williams| OR: 89| D

7/1

Benefited from enterprising ride when proving 1¾ lengths too strong for Andaleep at Sandown in June and again seen to good effect from the front when adding to his tally at Wolverhampton (9.5f) a fortnight ago, with Londoner (third) and Andaleep (fourth) close up. Will face competition for the lead.

10/1

Finally added to 2-y-o maiden success when narrowly prevailing back at this trip in a Newcastle handicap on second start for new connections in May. Hasn't done much wrong in 3 subsequent appearances and another bold show could be on the way.

16/5

Shaped a lot better than result in Britannia at Royal Ascot and followed that with a near-miss at Newmarket (1m, good to firm). Didn't get the chance to show what he can do upped to this trip at Goodwood and, with just a half-a-dozen runs under his belt, this colt remains open to improvement.

9/1

Successful 3 times at around this trip last season and placed for the third time this year when second in a big-field York handicap (10.2f, good) in June. However, he hung fire at Thirsk recently and is opposable off the same mark here.

Placed on a couple of occasions in June, but form has taken a turn for the worse the last twice and remains 2 lb above the mark off which he gained his latest success at Epsom 11 months ago.

Parole D'oro (16/5), Claymore (7/2), Mr Swivell (4/1), Silent Age (7/1), Andaleep (15/2), Financer (9/1), Londoner (10/1), Auld Toon Loon (16/1), Mirabeau (16/1), Mostawaa (50/1)

The vote goes to progressive 4-y-o MR SWIVELL, who was strong at the finish when making it 3-5 for this yard at Wolverhampton, leaving the impression that he is worth another crack at this trip. He appears to be pretty versatile tactics-wise and a 6 lb rise for that recent success looks manageable. Parole d'Oro is of strong interest on his second attempt at 1¼m and he is feared most ahead of Londoner and Andaleep, both of whom are taken to reverse recent Wolverhampton placings with Silent Age.
