2/1
Smart horse. Two wins from 6 runs last year. 50/1, 10¾ lengths fifteenth of 16 to Cicero's Gift in Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot (8f, good to firm) 76 days ago. Merits consideration.

5/4
Smart gelding. 16/5, didn't need to improve to win 8-runner listed race at Kempton (8f) 32 days ago by neck from Chancellor. Should be spot on for that run and big chance of going one better than in this last year.

33/1
Smart gelding. Course winner. One win from 3 runs last year. 15/8, 12¼ lengths fifth of 6 to Dubai Future in Nad Al Sheba Trophy at this course (14f, good). Off 10 months. Takes a significant drop in trip but can usually be relied upon to give his running.

Unreliable sort. 7¾ lengths last of 5 to Beauvatier in Challenge Stakes at Newmarket (7f, good to firm, 4/1) 84 days ago, ridden too aggressively. First run for yard after leaving John & Thady Gosden. Not taken lightly on pick of form.

Useful gelding. 25/1, good 1½ lengths fourth of 14 to Mysterious Night in listed race at this course (7f, good to soft) 14 days ago, slowly away. Can give good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Forecasts

Holloway Boy (5/4), Quddwah (2/1), Audience (11/2), Aomori City (15/2), Chicago Critic (16/1), Keffaaf (33/1), Vafortino (40/1), Andreas Vesalius (50/1), Western Writer (100/1), Asad Zabeel (100/1)

Verdict

HOLLOWAY BOY can make amends for his narrow defeat in this last year. Quddwah seems best of the remainder, while Audience might well have a say too.
