Dual 6f winner last summer and in good form this term until modest efforts last two starts, tried in cheekpieces when only eighth at Haydock latest. Bit to prove now.

6/1

Progressive sprinter who showed good turn of foot when ready winner of 6f Goodwood handicap 20 days ago. Has more to offer so rates a big player under a 5 lb penalty.

40/1

Most progressive 6f handicapper last winter, scoring at Newcastle (3) then at Southwell when last seen on track 6 months ago. Has more to offer so interesting back on turf and worth a market check.

33/1

Latest win at York in July and not disgraced when seventh of 11 in handicap at Chester (6.1f) 7 days ago, not enjoying best of runs. C&D winner so worth considering.

14/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2019 but had wind op before very good second of 11 in handicap at Ascot (6f) 14 days ago, caught only final strides. Not taken lightly off unchanged mark.

80/1

Gelded and off 9 months before below-par fourteenth of 21 in handicap (80/1) at Royal Ascot (5f) on only start this term. Fairly useful winning juvenile though so not written off yet.

20/1

Seventeen runs since his last win in 2018, but largely in good form this season and raced too freely at Doncaster (6.5f) 8 days ago. Another for the shortlist.

Only one win from 11 starts but (14/1) posted respectable eighth of 16 in handicap at York (6f) 13 days ago. Bit more needed here though.

Forecasts

King's Lynn (4/1), Atalanta's Boy (6/1), Admirality (17/2), Golden Apollo (10/1), Bernardo O'Reilly (14/1), Rathbone (14/1), Byline (14/1), Arbalet (16/1), Lord Oberon (16/1), Magical Spirit (18/1), Aplomb (18/1), Get Knotted (18/1), Aberama Gold (20/1), Danzan (20/1), Brian The Snail (22/1), I Am A Dreamer (25/1), Hyperfocus (28/1), Northernpowerhouse (33/1), Louie de Palma (33/1), Muscika (33/1), Show Me Show Me (40/1), Illusionist (40/1), Wasntexpectingthat (40/1), Citron Major (66/1), Dylan De Vega (80/1)

KING'S LYNN is very short on experience for a race of this nature but there's no doubting he has been underestimated for his handicap bow so Andrew Balding's improving 3-y-o is impossible to side against after chasing home the smart Starman at Doncaster on his return. Atalanta's Boy is feared most on the back of his taking Goodwood win, while Wasntexpectingthat and Admirality are much respected.
