Loft⁷¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: B A Curtis| T: Marcel Weiss| D

5/6

Smart performer who landed Group 2 in native Germany back in May and took another step forward when comfortably taking Grade 2 Belmont Gold Cup (2m) in June. Most intriguing contender lining up here with Ben Curtis in the plate.

Form: 3122-11

Vindolanda²²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: G Lee| T: C Hills| OR: 84| D

14/1

Regained winning thread at Ascot (14f) 13 months ago and placed on 2 of last 3 starts to end the campaign. Ran best race of present campaign when second at Wolverhampton (14f) 3 weeks ago but again has no easy task on here.

Form: 236-402

River Of Stars³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: J F Egan| T: R M Beckett| OR: 92

3/1

Promising filly who stepped up markedly on her exploits as a 2-y-o when runner-up on return in a Newbury maiden (12f) in May. Readily justified cramped odds to get off the mark at Lingfield (12f) since and interesting that good yard pitch her in here.

Form: 32-21

Typewriter⁶⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: Harry Davies| T: A M Balding| OR: 95

7/2

Twice a winner at Nottingham at 2 yrs and came on plenty for reappearance when third in Cheshire Oaks here in May. Found things too tough in Group 2 company at the Royal Meeting since but this rates more suitable.

Form: 411-438

Forecasts

Loft (5/6), River Of Stars (3/1), Typewriter (7/2), Rajinsky (7/2), Reshoun (7/2), Vindolanda (14/1)

German raider LOFT concedes weight all round but he's an improved model this year, arriving on the back of a Grade 2 success in the Belmont Gold Cup and he could well be the way to go under Ben Curtis. The admirable Rajinsky can also feature, along with improving 3-y-o filly River of Stars.
