Aeolus⁴⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: G Lee| T: E Walker| OR: 103| D

12/1

Took this in 2015 when run on turf and came via the same Haydock sprint he contested last time. Appeared below his best on sole AW start and current BHA ratings give him plenty to find.

Form: 4926-62

Don't Touch^v¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey| OR: 113| D

5/2

Top-class sprinter who is 7-12 for his career and won his sole race on a Tapeta surface. Clear pick on official ratings and will be all the better for his run over 7f at Leopardstown. Stable have won this twice in the last ten years.

Form: 51045-2

Final Venture^h¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: L Morris| T: P T Midgley| OR: 109| D

15/2

As good as ever this year with victories in Meydan and a Listed race at Haydock. Ran as well as could be expected in the King's Stand last week and will ensure a strong pace. Stable are just 1-44 here.

Form: 158419

Intisaab^p⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 107| D

10/1

A stiff handicap mark leaves connections casting their sights on conditions events for this seven-time winner. Looks to be aiming too high here on his AW debut.

Form: 41-1550

Kimberella¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 109| D

7/2

Has found a few pounds of improvement this year for joining new yard and landed the AW Sprint Championship at Lingfield in April. Not disgraced since and trainer has a good record in this event.

Form: 6-11703

Nameitwhatyoulike⁴⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: Connor Beasley| T: B Smart| OR: 103| D

33/1

Winner of the Great St Wilfrid (holds Intisaab who was second) and a Listed event last season. Has struggled in better races since and this looks another tough assignment.

Form: 1176-50

(9)

Ornate²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: J Fanning| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 109

14/1

Just one win in 15 starts and he is looking an unreliable sort. Runner-up behind Brando at Newmarket this season possibly a career best and closer to last than first at Haydock last time. Set to struggle once again.

Form: 222-266

(4)

Perfect Pasture^v⁴⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: P Mulrennan| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 110| D

15/2

Expertly-placed to win 10 sprints from just 36 starts including three on AW surfaces. Looked as good as ever when winning at Windsor recently but this looks a much better race.

Form: 10029-1

(5)

Solar Flair⁶⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: T P Queally| T: W J Knight| OR: 104| D

22/1

Useful handicapper particularly on AW surfaces. Taking a big step up in class and yard have been finding winners harder to come by (2-38 over past 56 days).

Form: 3-00215

(8)

Koropick¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Josephine Gordon| T: H Palmer| OR: 104| D

8/1

Impressed on Thirsk debut and not disgraced in the Middle Park. Latest form leaves him below the level required to win this but stable are an impressive 5-6 with runners here during June/July (two more declared here on Friday evening).

Form: 257-752

Forecasts

Don't Touch (5/2), Kimberella (7/2), Final Venture (15/2), Perfect Pasture (15/2), Koropick (8/1), Mattmu (8/1), Intisaab (10/1), Aeolus (12/1), Ornate (14/1), Solar Flair (22/1), Nameitwhatyoulike (33/1)

Richard Fahey holds a strong hand here with DON'T TOUCH and Kimberella the outstanding pair on the past efforts. Kimberella has the stronger AW form and will give his usual honest account but DON'T TOUCH has proven himself at a higher level than these and looks a genuine Pattern class horse. Koropick is interesting given his trainer's record here but he has a bit to find on form as does Perfect Pasture. Aeolus represents another trainer with a good track record at this time of year but his latest performances leave him with something to find.
