Man Of Vision^p1³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Toby Moore⁽⁷⁾| T: C Appleby| OR: 88

7/2

All-weather novice winner at 2. Improved again when just denied at Newmarket (Rowley Mile) on handicap bow/return. Not ideally placed at York next time but disappointed here since. Now tries a new trip with headgear applied.

Form: 251-290

Runswick⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Billy Loughnane| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 87| D

5/2

Still on the upgrade judged on his all-the-way win at Carlisle and wasn't seen to anything like best effect at Glorious Goodwood 9 days ago. Remains of interest.

Form: 10-3218

Vincenzo Peruggia⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: D Egan| T: C Johnston| OR: 87

9/1

Ready winner of Beverley novice last summer. Very good second at Musselburgh on reappearance/handicap debut but hasn't kicked on, albeit in very competitive events the last twice.

Form: 10-2700

Go Rimbaud^p⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 85| D

6/1

Improved to win maiden at Kempton on return and, after being gelded, overcame a pace bias at Wolverhampton on second handicap start last month. Seemed unsuited by a similar scenario fitted with this headgear on a bigger stage at Glorious Goodwood but this less competitive.

Form: 22-1510

Drymee³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Ashley Lewis⁽³⁾| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 77| D

10/3

Improving sort who has already proved himself to be effective on any ground, winning his maiden at Lingfield on heavy before following up on handicap bow at Newbury (firm). Had something in hand both times so hat-trick could well be on the cards.

Form: 4-711

Forecasts

Runswick (5/2), Drymee (10/3), Man Of Vision (7/2), Go Rimbaud (6/1), Looka (6/1), Luzon Heights (8/1), Vincenzo Peruggia (9/1)

DRYMEE is improving all the time and could still be ahead of the handicapper given the manner of his win at Newbury. Runswick and Go Rimbaud were not seen to best effect at Glorious Goodwood and are expected to fare much better here.
