Isabella Castile²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: George Bass| T: J Channon| OR: 80

18/1

Posted career best, back from 12 weeks off, when close second of 8 in handicap (11/1) over C&D (good to firm) 23 days ago. 2 lb higher now but another bold bid looks assured.

Form: 10-4252

Mythical Composer¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Rossa Ryan| T: C G Cox| OR: 80| BF

3/1

Back on track when good second of 9 in handicap (10/3) over C&D (good to firm) 13 days ago. Can race off same mark here and merits consideration.

Form: 524732

(9)

Morte Point¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 77

14/1

Built on promise of previous run when close second of 9 in handicap at Leicester (6f, firm) 18 days ago. Raised 2 lb since but warrants respect.

Form: 138-042

(7)

Slipper Time¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: T E Whelan| T: H Candy| OR: 76| D

9/1

Off the mark at third time of asking in 9-runner novice at Salisbury (7f, good) 14 days ago. May do better now sent handicapping, although opening mark could have been kinder.

Form: 341

The Hare Rail²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Jim Crowley| T: R A Teal| OR: 75

7/1

Still looking for first success but arrives on back of good second of 7 in handicap (13/2) at Sandown (7f, good) 21 days ago. Others appeal more for win purposes, however.

Form: 32-3622

33/1

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: K Shoemark| T: Harry Eustace| OR: 73| CD

28/1

C&D winner. 4 wins from 8 runs this year. Latest win here in June. Below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Ascot (7f, good, 11/2) 34 days ago. Others more persuasive,

Form: 121157

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Tom Marquand| T: E Walker| OR: 72| BF

11/2

Only narrowly failed to open account in 5-runner handicap at Salisbury (8f, good) 36 days ago. Races off same mark here and must enter calculation.

Forecasts

Golden Redemption (2/1), Mythical Composer (3/1), Moutai (11/2), The Hare Rail (7/1), Slipper Time (9/1), Jr Climbs (10/1), Excellent Echo (10/1), Morte Point (14/1), I Maximus (14/1), Forever My Prince (16/1), Isabella Castile (18/1), Law Of Design (20/1), Mr Ubiquitous (28/1), Queue Dos (33/1)

Preference is for GOLDEN REDEMPTION, who took a step forward when taking a maiden here earlier this month and looks feasibly treated back handicapping. Isabella Castile and Moutai head the list of dangers.
