13/2

Back on the up in no uncertain terms when landing 9.9f handicap at Glorious Goodwood in July. Line can be drawn though subsequent York effort and he retains scope from this mark.

Form: 2-17510

Royal Marine^t²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: P Cosgrave| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 100

12/1

Has yet to have a clear shot at racing and he offered plenty when fourth on 8 back from 6 months off at Newmarket in August. Didn't really build on that when fifth at Chelmsford.

Form: 90-8745

Ouzo³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon| OR: 94

14/1

Three-time winner in 2019 but failed to build on excellent reappearance second when well backed for Silver Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot. Good fifth in a very deep handicap at York and now up in trip.

Form: 145-285

Age: 9| Weight: 8-13| J: David Egan| T: A King| OR: 90| C

40/1

Won Spring Cup here in early 2019 but yet to hit form in 4 runs since resumption. Mark is tumbling but he needs to show a lot more.

Form: 15-7880

Good Birthday^p¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: S De Sousa| T: A M Balding| OR: 90| C| D

9/1

Progressive as a 3-y-o, winning twice around this trip. Looked to be going through the motions this summer but perked up by cheekpieces of late, confirming return to form when third at Kempton.

Form: 300453

Starcat^t¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: P J McDonald| T: H Morrison| OR: 93

7/1

AW novice winner on debut. Contested 2000 Guineas on reappearance and then well held in the Britannia, but back on track in another pair of good-quality handicaps since.

Form: 1-7054

Mandarin¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 8-11| J: James Doyle| T: D Loughnane| OR: 88| D

28/1

Back-to-back winner of handicaps at up to 12f for Ian Williams last year. Has shaped quite well in 2 of 3 starts for this yard in 2020 but now needs to put it altogether.

Form: 130-879

Ilaraab²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: M Dwyer| T: W J Haggas| OR: 90| D

15/2

Didn't race until June but quickly making up for lost time, improving again when completing hat-trick on handicap debut at Beverley 3 weeks ago. Up 6 lb in a better race but limit unlikely reached.

Form: 7111

Tenbury Wells²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: W Buick| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 90| D

3/1

Progressed with each start to date, landing an AW minor event prior to following up on handicap debut at Ascot (10f). Excellent effort when a short-head second at Sandown a month ago.

Form: 7-4112

(8)

Kingbrook²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: David Probert| T: Ian Williams| OR: 88

8/1

Lengthy colt who landed a 7f Ascot novice last summer and ended the campaign with a good third in a Doncaster nursery (1m). Promising reappearance in 3-y-o contest at Sandown and he's interesting.

Form: 3183-3

(4)

The City's Phantom⁶⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-0| J: Hollie Doyle| T: R Spencer| OR: 82| D

6/1

Gelded after a brace of 2-y-o runs and much improved when making a successful reappearance/handicap debut at Yarmouth in July. Up 9 lb and this a far better race, but he can progress again.

Form: 53-1

Forecasts

Tenbury Wells (3/1), The City's Phantom (6/1), Maydanny (13/2), Starcat (7/1), Ilaraab (15/2), Kingbrook (8/1), Good Birthday (9/1), Royal Marine (12/1), Ouzo (14/1), Getchagetchagetcha (20/1), Mandarin (28/1), Breden (33/1), Chatez (40/1)

KINGBROOK exceeded market expectations by some way when third on reappearance at Sandown, and given that was just his fifth start, there must be a chance he will build on that. He's therefore taken to reverse the form with Tenbury Wells, though there's clearly plenty of depth to this handicap, with Ilaraab and Maydanny also of serious interest.
