Euchen Glen¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-8| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 115| C| D

22/1

Back to form from out of the blue when easily winning the Brigadier Gerard at Sandown (10f, soft) 3 weeks ago, making effort wide and keeping on well. Career best needed under penalty now.

Form: 110-871

Forest Of Dean⁷⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: L Dettori| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 107| D

10/1

Has taken his form up another notch on AW this year, winning the Lingfield Winter Derby. Looked a bit awkward there last time but back from a break now and is just as good on turf, so don't dismiss.

Form: 10/3313

Volcanic Sky^p1⁸⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: P Cosgrave| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 107

33/1

Group 3 winner over 14f in Dubai earlier in the year but tailed off as if amiss over 2m there when last seen in March and has plenty on his plate on these terms. Headgear refitted.

Form: 35-6210

(4)

Solid Stone³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: R L Moore| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 113| D

4/1

Much improved when impressively winning extended 1m listed event at Windsor last month from Stormy Antarctic, keeping on well after racing in isolation. Good form and has a big shout back up in trip.

Form: 3123-51

(2)

Blue Cup^h¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: W Buick| T: D Menuisier| OR: 103| D

17/2

Low-mileage 5-y-o who took apart a useful field in Epsom handicap over this trip in a first-time hood on Oaks Day, storming clear from Victory Chime. Should get a good pace here and can go well again.

Form: 515-571

(7)

Dawaam^p1⁴⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Jim Crowley| T: Owen Burrows| OR: 97| D

28/1

Enhanced his fine record on AW when making successful return from 8 months off/wind op in Chelmsford handicap over this trip 7 weeks ago. Twice held on turf previously and has cheekpieces on now.

Form: 1/9551-1

Father Of Jazz⁸⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Callum Shepherd| T: R Varian| OR: 104| D

18/1

Big improver on the AW this winter, completing a hat-trick at around this trip before having excuses behind Forest of Dean in the Winter Derby. Disappointing on turf latest and been gelded. Unexposed.

Form: 21-1139

(8)

Felix^t⁸⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Oisin Murphy| T: M Botti| OR: 110| D

13/2

Last 4 wins on AW (split Forest of Dean and Father of Jazz in Winter Derby) but just as good on turf, running a mighty race under this rider in the Dubai Turf when last seen. Well worth considering.

Form: 61-1223

(9)

Fox Tal^h¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: S De Sousa| T: A M Balding| OR: 107| D

8/1

Capable of smart form but temperament holding him back, caught close home in Chester handicap on return having been gelded but then turning in a dislikeable performance at Sandown behind Euchen Glen.

Form: 6856-23

(5)

Juan Elcano⁸⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: K A Ryan| OR: 107WS

14/1

Fifth in the 2000 Guineas on return in 2020 the highlight of his season, but he made a pleasing comeback again in Doncaster listed race in March having been gelded. Not sure this is his trip. Wind op.

Form: 3/5438-6

(11)

Palavecino^h³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: M Dwyer| T: B J Meehan| OR: 109| D

11/1

Progressed well in handicaps last season, winning 4 times at up to 12f. Good return in front of Forest of Dean at Lingfield but weakened at Chester 6 weeks ago and this looks too tough.

Form: 9234-23

(3)

Patrick Sarsfield^t¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Tom Marquand| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 113| D

4/1

Did well in 2020, winning 3 times at up to this trip and going close in the Prix Dollar. Excellent return at the Curragh when beaten just a head and that will have teed him up nicely for this.

Form: 11372-2

(13)

Victory Chime^v¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Rob Hornby| T: R M Beckett| OR: 102| D

25/1

Likeable type with a good record over this trip at Epsom, winning handicap in April before the impressive Blue Cap got his revenge earlier this month. This is much hotter in re-fitted visor.

Form: 412-312

Forecasts

Patrick Sarsfield (4/1), Solid Stone (4/1), Felix (13/2), Fox Tal (8/1), Blue Cup (17/2), Forest Of Dean (10/1), Palavecino (11/1), Stormy Antarctic (12/1), Juan Elcano (14/1), Father Of Jazz (18/1), Euchen Glen (22/1), Victory Chime (25/1), Dawaam (28/1), Volcanic Sky (33/1)

FELIX has gone from strength to strength for Marco Botti and ran a screamer under Oisin Murphy in the Dubai Turf when last seen. Proven fresh, he's given the vote in a wide-open Wolferton that again looks a very good race for a listed contest. Impressive Epsom winner Blue Cap is next on the shortlist, ahead of Patrick Sarsfield and Solid Stone.
