8/11

Struck at the second time of asking in handicaps when seeing off 7 rivals at Chepstow (1¼m, good to firm) in May. No extra late on when third over 11f at Hamilton since and this return to slightly shorter looks ideal. Leading claims.

Form: 455313

Palace Artois^p¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: P Mulrennan| T: W J Haggas| OR: 55

7/1

Palace Pier filly who hasn't looked one of her leading yard's many progressive sorts so far, including hinting at temperament. Tries a longer trip now.

Form: 7-5776

Sound Gloria²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Harry Vigors⁽⁵⁾| T: R Varian| OR: 52

4/1

Down the field in 3 qualifying runs around 1m but could prove a different proposition in a low-grade handicap, with this slightly longer trip expected to suit on pedigree.

Form: 0-77

Baldosa¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Rowan Scott| T: N Tinkler| OR: 49

5/1

Maiden but was a creditable second of 13 in classified event at Newcastle (1¼m) last month and backed that up when fourth of 14 in handicap company at Wetherby (1¼m, good to firm) 19 days ago.

Form: 308524

Alcanzor⁵⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Rhys Elliott⁽⁵⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 46

25/1

Well held in maiden/novice events but handicaps provide him with a more realistic chance.

Form: 87-0

Enduring Story¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: William Pyle| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 45

80/1

Has shown more temperament than ability so far.

Forecasts

Regulus Black (8/11), Sound Gloria (4/1), Baldosa (5/1), Palace Artois (7/1), Alcanzor (25/1), Balmoral Boy (25/1), Enduring Story (80/1)

REGULUS BLACK is by far the most solid option in a race where few arrive with compelling form claims, although it wouldn't be a surprise were Roger Varian's Sound Gloria to improve now handicapping. Baldosa looks best of the rest.
