Finished last of 12 in handicap at Kempton (14/1) 40 days ago. Down in class and can bounce back. Dangerous if getting a lead.

80/1

Successful 3 times for Karl Burke at 2, including in a 6f listed event at York. Finished 11th of 19 in handicap at Ascot (66/1) 40 days ago, continuing out of sorts and making little impression.

Form: 1-96800

Alaskan Gold^v⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Hollie Doyle| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 85| D

33/1

On a good mark judged on peak form when in the care of Karl Burke and he was a close third in a 4-runner Hamilton handicap on second start for new yard in August. Excuses at Leicester (14/1) 9 days ago, well away from the main action.

Form: 0-03477

13/8

Opened his account at Southwell in December and mostly good efforts this season, although just eighth of 13 in 6f handicap at Ascot (7/1) 97 days ago when not doing anything quickly enough. Gelded since.

Artagnan^t1²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: James Doyle| T: H Al Jehani| OR: 84| D

18/5

Won at Goodwood and placed second twice for Karl Burke in 2024. Sixth of 10 in a handicap at Newmarket (8/1) 26 days ago. First-time tongue strap today.

Form: 5122-66

Hello Zaman⁵⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Rossa Ryan| T: J Tate| OR: 83| D

11/4

Disappointed when ninth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (7/2) 50 days ago, weakening in the final furlong. Needs to recapture earlier form.

Form: 120259

Dream Composer^p¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Shay Farmer⁽⁷⁾| T: H J Evans| OR: 81| D

33/1

Seventh of 11 in 5f handicap at Ascot (18/1) 12 days ago, running better without reaching top form. Rare go at 6f and bare 5f has always seemed his best trip.

Form: 206707

Cherry Cobbler²⁵⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Ray Dawson| T: S C Williams| OR: 76

12/1

Won 5f maiden at Southwell (7/4) 259 days ago when positive tactics paid off. First start since now handicapping and retains potential if all is well. Interesting.

Form: 3-41

Fantasy Master^p¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 8-12| J: D Egan| T: Darryll Holland| OR: 71| CD

9/1

Experienced handicapper and a C&D winner. Sixth of 11 in a better race at Ascot (11/1) 12 days ago, racing off the pace before making headway 2f out with no extra final furlong. This is easier back over 6f and one to consider.

Forecasts

Don Pacifico (13/8), Hello Zaman (11/4), Artagnan (18/5), Fantasy Master (9/1), Cherry Cobbler (12/1), Abbey Heights (16/1), Alaskan Gold (33/1), Dream Composer (33/1), Mcmanaman (33/1), Jungle Drums (80/1)

FANTASY MASTER ran creditably in a stronger Ascot race 12 days ago and could be worth chancing from a tempting mark having won on his last go over C&D. The unexposed Cherry Cobbler is interesting, while Abbey Heights has good all-weather form and might figure if getting an early lead.
