11/4
Twice a winner last season and has run well in some good handicaps since, including last time out when a 4L sixth of 29 in the Royal Hunt Cup at Ascot (1m, good to firm). Clear possibilities in this company, having handled an easy surface previously.

13/2
Won three times in his first seven starts, including a Group 3 over 1m on soft ground, but failed to find the mark last year. Possibly too aggressively-ridden in a Deauville Group 3 on soft ground last time and couldn't be ruled out if putting his best foot forward.

Rattled off a hat-trick in France over the winter at around 1m but was done for speed in the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup over 6f at Royal Ascot (good to firm). Still early days and worth a look on his first run for this yard over a more suitable trip.

6/1
Typically tough consistent sort for this yard but an 8lb rise for his most recent 1m success looked harsh and he has duly been found wanting at Ascot and Sandown since. Drop to 7f no big deal, considering he has scored twice over 6f and has won on good to soft.

7/1
Expertly-placed to win 13 times from 45 starts in his career, including seven times over 1m. Unbeaten in two runs since joining this yard in the spring and a 7lb rise for his latest win over 1m at Bath (firm) looks fair. Respected under Moore but largely unproven on easy ground.

7/1
Won two of his first four starts on the AW over 7f but yet to prove quite as effective on turf, finishing well down the field in a big handicap at Royal Ascot on first attempt at 1m. Others more persuasive as a tongue-tie is now reached for.

25/1
Won his maiden here in impressive style over 6f (good to firm) but hasn't kicked on as hoped, finishing down the field in subsequent pattern races. Ran particularly poorly at Chester last time out in May and has been gelded since. First run in a handicap.

8/1
Made a winning debut over 6f here (soft) last autumn but hasn't progressed as expected. Was gelded in the spring but two mediocre efforts over at Ascot and Newmarket have followed, so hard to get too excited about right now.

Forecasts

Remarkable (11/4), Straight Right (11/2), Rusumaat (6/1), Johnny Barnes (13/2), Realize (7/1), Omran (7/1), Early Morning (7/1), Executive Force (8/1), Majeste (25/1)

Verdict

Realize is unbeaten in two runs for his current yard and, even allowing for a rising turf mark, he's still well-treated compared to his AW form. If he handles the forecast easy ground, he could prove hard to beat under Ryan Moore but it is an 'if', so REMARKABLE may be a safer option. John Gosden's gelding lost nothing with his sixth-place effort in last month's Royal Hunt Cup and is a previous winner on ground with cut. Rusumaat and Johnny Barnes also enter calculations.
