40/1

Smart horse. 18/1, narrow winner of Diomed Stakes at Epsom (8.5f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Has form to reach the frame but takes a big step down in trip.

Form: 929141

Ventura Rebel^p⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 108| D

Ainsdale^p³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 105| D

(5)

Brando⁴⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 9-3| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 114| D

20/1

Smart gelding. Fifteen runs since last win in 2019, and reportedly bled when only eighth of 12 to Starman in Duke of York Stakes (22/1) at York (6f, good) 45 days ago. Has fair bit to find on form.

Form: 327-328

(12)

Good Effort^p⁹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Ray Dawson| T: I Mohammed| OR: 109| C| D

8/1

Course winner but he came in a well-beaten last of 13 to Zenden in Dubai Golden Shaheen at Meydan (6f) in March. Enters calculations if back on song after his lay-off.

Form: 111-420

(6)

Highland Dress^p⁴⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: P Mulrennan| T: A Watson| OR: 103| D

80/1

Smart gelding who kickstarted 2021 with win at Lingfield but last of 5 to Qaysar in listed race (18/1) at Haydock (7.2f, heavy) 49 days ago. Has plenty to prove at the moment.

Form: 123835

(8)

Khaadem¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: David Egan| T: C Hills| OR: 109| BF| D

7/1

Smart horse. Best run this term, though still below his best when second of 6 to Line of Departure in listed race (11/8) at Salisbury (6f) 13 days ago. Makes tapeta debut and needs to bounce back.

Form: 0/44-032

(11)

Khuzaam⁶⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Jim Crowley| T: R Varian| OR: 116

5/2

Very smart gelding who scored at Chelmsford City and Lingfield before last of 4 to Palace Pier at Sandown (8f, good) 64 days ago. Makes tapeta debut but sets a high standard on form.

Form: 2/22-114

(3)

Repartee^p⁷⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: K A Ryan| OR: 98| DWS

50/1

Useful gelding. Below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 74 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and fair bit more required after a wind op here.

Form: 2/105-57

(9)

Tabdeed²⁹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: David Probert| T: Owen Burrows| OR: 112| D

13/2

Smart gelding but he came in last of 13 to Dream of Dreams in Sprint Cup at Haydock (6f, soft) when last seen on track 9 months ago. Not taken lightly if resuming fully tuned up.

Form: 116/210-

(10)

Chil Chil⁵⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: S De Sousa| T: A M Balding| OR: 106| D

15/2

Smart mare who recorded a career best when winning 7-runner handicap (11/4) at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) 56 days ago. Has more to offer, and firmly in the picture.

Form: 1534-21

(13)

Pholas^p,t¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: J P Spencer| T: G Boughey| OR: 92| C

50/1

Useful filly who has already scored 4 times this year. 50/1 and cheekpieces on, excellent fifth of 18 in handicap at Royal Ascot (8f, firm) 10 days ago. This is no easy ask, though.

Form: 116775

Diligent Harry⁸⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Hector Crouch| T: C G Cox| OR: 105| D

9/2

Made it 3-4 with impressive success in 6f minor event at Lingfield (AW) 85 days ago, forging clear last 1f. Open to further improvement, and he shouldn't be underestimated.

Form: 1121

Forecasts

Khuzaam (5/2), Diligent Harry (9/2), Tabdeed (13/2), Khaadem (7/1), Chil Chil (15/2), Good Effort (8/1), Ventura Rebel (14/1), Brando (20/1), Ainsdale (33/1), Oh This Is Us (40/1), Pholas (50/1), Repartee (50/1), Highland Dress (80/1)

KHUZAAM failed to perform to his best behind Palace Pier at Sandown but is a different proposition on synthetic surfaces and can make it 3-3 this term now back on his favoured AW. Chil Chil is another low-mileage 5-y-o with better days still ahead of her and she rates the chief threat to Roger Varian's smart gelding. Sole 3-y-o Diligent Harry has more to offer and looks the pick of the rest.
