Artistic Star^b1²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett| OR: 96

4/1

Successful first 2 starts but without a win since. However, largely acquitted himself well in staying handicaps this term and can make presence felt here.

Palladium⁶⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Billy Loughnane| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 113| BF

1/2

Last year's German Derby winner who ran well on yard debut at Goodwood in June before solid fourth in Hardwicke Stakes at Royal Ascot. Disappointed at Newmarket since but looks the one to beat here nonetheless.

Form: 416-344

Fairy Glen³³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Harry Davies| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 100| BF

11/2

Useful filly who scored twice last year before acquitting herself well in listed company. Not seen since respectable fourth of 9 at Bath (14f, heavy) 11 months ago but has won after a break before and is not taken lightly.

Form: 8/11324-

Our 'Enery^p¹²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Rob Hornby| T: A M Balding| OR: 91

16/1

Fairly useful gelding. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Worst of draw when tailed-off last of 18 in Derby Italiano at Rome (10.9f, good) in June. Upped in trip here and has something to find on form. Gelded since last seen.

Form: 5-144

Forecasts

Palladium (1/2), Artistic Star (4/1), Fairy Glen (11/2), Our 'Enery (16/1), Danseuse Du Sud (20/1)

Forecast slower ground looks a major plus for PALLADIUM and he can get back on track here. The returning Fairy Glen may provide the chief threat.
