Aggagio²³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: Ashley Lewis⁽⁷⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 83| BF| CD

13/2

3-time C&D winner. Latest win here in June. 10/3, fifth of 12 in handicap at this course (20.4f, good) 23 days ago, finding test too much. Very much one to consider back in trip.

Form: 3/8-4315

33/1

In good form until only fifth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Stratford (22f, soft) 35 days ago. Fairly useful on the Flat and the sort to bounce back.

Form: 2614/38-

Belgravian^p¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Jason Watson| T: A M Balding| OR: 86| D

6/4

Progressive type who bagged a third win in 5-runner handicap at Haydock (16.2f, good to firm) 14 days ago, forging clear late on. Up 7 lb but has more to offer. Player.

Form: 241211

Deep Water Bay^p¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 85| D

7/4

Improving stayer who gained a fourth victory of the summer when accounting for 6 rivals in 2m handicap at Newbury 19 days ago. A 5 lb rise may not stop him in his hat-trick bid with further progress on the cards.

Forecasts

Belgravian (6/4), Deep Water Bay (7/4), Kitty Foyle (5/1), Aggagio (13/2), Youthful King (12/1), Teorie (33/1)

An intriguing finale in which Sir Mark Prescott's upwardly-mobile stayer DEEP WATER BAY is taken to complete a hat-trick and thwart fellow 3-y-o Belgravian who also looks to have better days ahead of him and rates a big danger. Aggagio goes very well round here and can also have a say now he drops back to 2m.
