4/1

Dual 6f winner this year. 13th of 16 in a handicap at Doncaster (12/1) 28 days ago, shaping like a non-stayer over 7f when racing too keenly. Should appreciate the return to 6f.

Righthere Rightnow^h²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: George Wood| T: R Spencer| OR: 85

15/2

Still lightly-raced as a sprinter and gave his all on softer ground than previously faced when fifth in a well-contested renewal of the Ayr Silver Cup (28/1) 22 days ago, finishing second home in his group (only beaten by his winning stablemate). Should go well.

Wheels Of Fire¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Alec Voikhansky⁽³⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 82| D

4/1

Won at Windsor over 6f (7/1) 34 days ago and has been unlucky in two subsequent runs. Seventh of 12 in handicap at Salisbury (11/2) 10 days ago, travelled well but short of room 1f out and finished with running left. There are races to be won from his current mark.

Forecasts

Aberama Gold (3/1), Showering (4/1), Wheels Of Fire (4/1), Far Above Dream (11/2), Righthere Rightnow (15/2), First Folio (17/2), Thunder Blue (12/1), Toyotomi (14/1)

The 3-y-os WHEELS OF FIRE and Righthere Rightnow are interesting. Richard Hannon's charge has caught the eye twice since his Windsor success and could be the way to go over Righthere Rightnow, who ran a blinder in the Ayr Silver Cup off 1 lb higher. Aberama Gold is another to consider under Oisin Murphy.
