Stone Of Destiny³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: S De Sousa| T: A M Balding| OR: 102| D

5/1

Won the Portland at Doncaster last season and proved at least as good as ever when second at Goodwood last time. Remains well treated despite a 3 lb rise and can go one better now.

Form: 0210-92

(15)

Exalted Angel²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 102| D

20/1

Won listed race at Lingfield and progressed further when second in the All-Weather Sprint Championships over the same C&D in April. Well below that form on his last two starts on turf, though.

Form: 3-41254

(6)

Ornate^p⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: Phil Dennis| T: D C Griffiths| OR: 98| CD

16/1

Scored at Southwell before shaping as if needing the run after 10 weeks off when down the field in listed race at Haydock last time. Lines up from the same mark as when winning this race in 2019.

Form: 144148

(3)

Blue De Vega^t¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: B A Curtis| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 95| D

18/1

Below form at Newmarket last time but he figures on a good mark and will command plenty of respect given his record in this race (fourth in 2018 and third in 2019).

Form: 624834

(5)

Lord Riddiford⁶⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 90| D

12/1

Below-par effort over 6f back at Lingfield last time. Potentially well treated judged on the pick of his all-weather efforts but he has yet to match that form on turf.

Form: 32-U110

(16)

Copper Knight^t¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 8-12| J: J P Sullivan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 90| D

9/2

Won at York in May and ran creditably when fifth over the same C&D last time. Running style should be suited to this test and still potentially well treated judged on the balance of his form.

Form: 89-7315

(20)

Only Spoofing²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 8-11| J: Tom Marquand| T: Kevin Coleman| OR: 89| D

13/2

Won at Navan on just his fourth start for this yard since leaving Jedd O’Keeffe and he has been placed from similar marks in the past. Respected in his follow-up bid.

Form: 10-0601

(18)

Mondammej^h¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 87| D

6/1

Won at Pontefract in April and ran at least as well in defeat when third at York in May. Well below form last time and has shown signs of temperament. Others make more appeal.

Form: 821630

(2)

Recon Mission⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Ray Dawson⁽³⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 87| CD

9/1

Resumed winning ways over C&D last time, making just about all to win by half a length from Dark Shot. A 3 lb higher mark here is not insurmountable judged on the pick of his old form.

Form: 1-43751

(11)

Han Solo Berger^p³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 8-7| J: George Wood| T: C F Wall| OR: 85| D

14/1

Won three times last season and returned to form when third at Ascot last time. Has edged below his last winning mark, so looks to have claims of building on his latest effort. Interesting.

Form: 15-5363

(1)

Pettochside⁵

Age: 12| Weight: 8-6| J: George Rooke⁽³⁾| T: J J Bridger| OR: 84| C| D

28/1

Won at Ascot in April and Bath in May. Struggled from a much higher mark at Windsor last time, though, and looks up against it in this more competitive environment.

Form: 71-1017

(14)

Get Boosting^t²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-5| J: Jamie Gormley| T: I Jardine| OR: 83| D

33/1

Won at Ripon in May and was possibly unsuited by the heavy going when only fifth at Thirsk last time. Steps up markedly in grade here but certainly not handicapped out of things.

Form: 577-515

(13)

Mokaatil^b,t³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 8-4| J: David Egan| T: Ian Williams| OR: 82| C| D

25/1

Won at Chelmsford in March but has been below form of late. Back down to his last winning mark but tough to recommend with any confidence with a test which is possibly on the sharp side.

Form: 149348

(9)

Saaheq^b²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 8-4| J: Hayley Turner| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 82| BF| D

33/1

Won at Lingfield in February and April. Possibly unsuited by the track when fifth at Newmarket and had been running consistently prior to that. This represents a significant step up in grade, though.

Form: 123125

(7)

Son And Sannie⁴³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-2| J: K T O'Neill| T: P T Midgley| OR: 80| D

20/1

Won at Naas and Wolverhampton last season. Stepped up on his reappearance when fourth at Doncaster last time, but that form is still a bit below his best and he didn’t impress with his application.

Form: 4713-04

(12)

Duke Of Firenze¹⁵

Age: 12| Weight: 8-0| J: J F Egan| T: D C Griffiths| OR: 77| CD

25/1

Veteran won this in 2013 and also scored at Lingfield in April. Below form last two starts but he's no forlorn hope back here, despite being 1 lb out of the handicap.

Form: 501365

Copper Knight (9/2), Stone Of Destiny (5/1), Mondammej (6/1), Only Spoofing (13/2), Recon Mission (9/1), Sunday Sovereign (10/1), Lord Riddiford (12/1), Caspian Prince (12/1), Yimou (12/1), Han Solo Berger (14/1), Ornate (16/1), Rose Hip (16/1), Blue De Vega (18/1), Son And Sannie (20/1), Exalted Angel (20/1), Mokaatil (25/1), Duke Of Firenze (25/1), Pettochside (28/1), Saaheq (33/1), Get Boosting (33/1)

A typically competitive renewal of this valuable sprint handicap. STONE OF DESTINY looked right back to his best at Goodwood and last year's Portland hero can capitalise on a good mark. Han Solo Berger has also dropped to a handy weight and is feared most, with Sunday Sovereign not taken lightly either and a solid place prospect along with recent Windsor scorer Rose Hip.
