Regal Reality⁴²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: R L Moore| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 109

9/1

Hasn't enjoyed as much success as one with his talents perhaps should have done, but he was as good as ever when landing the Winter Hill Stakes ast Windsor last time. Solid claims.

Form: 42-4281

Cadillac¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: J Mitchell| T: G Boughey| OR: 109| D

12/1

Won listed race at Leopardstown for Jessica Harrington in June and good second in Wolferton Stakes at Royal Ascot next time. Not at best last two starts (sole outing for Kevin Philippart De Foy penultimate one) but shouldn't be discounted.

Dubai Mirage^p³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 107

10/1

Carries his head awkwardly but has looked better than ever lately, completing a double off a mark of 102 at Ascot last time. That form doesn't look solid, though, and he's likely to prove vulnerable.

Finest Sound^p,t²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: David Egan| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 112

14/1

Likeable sort who typically gave his running when third in the Woodbine Mile last time. Third in this last year and should give another good account.

Form: 6D1223

Intellogent³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: A Kirby| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 108| D

22/1

Group 1 winner in France as a 3-y-o and new stable coaxed him back to his best, running crackers under big weights in the Royal Hunt Cup and John Smith's Cup in the Summer. Last 2 outings have been disappointing, though.

Marie's Diamond²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Connor Beasley| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 102

25/1

Smart sort who ran with credit when fourth in a listed event at Ayr 3 weeks ago. Has won here but will need a career-best effort if he's to compete.

Form: 028334

(9)

Royal Fleet^h¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby| OR: 110

3/1

Smart gelding. Didn't need to be at best when winning 4-runner listed race at Goodwood recently. Might well have further improvement in him and looks the stable's first string on jockey bookings.

Form: 51-2211

Alflaila⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Jim Crowley| T: Owen Burrows| OR: 109| D

5/2

Progressive 3yo who added to a productive season when landing the Strensall Stakes impressively at York last time. Open to further improvement but could do with breaking on terms.

Form: 6-10211

(5)

Ottoman Fleet²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: James Doyle| T: C Appleby| OR: 105| C

9/2

Just failed to reel in a stablemate at Newbury on debut but confirmed that promise when winning listed event here Newmarket next time. Has progressed again since, and shaped well when smooth-travelling second in handicap at Newbury last time. Makes plenty of appeal.

Forecasts

Alflaila (5/2), Royal Fleet (3/1), Ottoman Fleet (9/2), Regal Reality (9/1), Dubai Mirage (10/1), Cadillac (12/1), Passion And Glory (12/1), Finest Sound (14/1), Intellogent (22/1), Marie's Diamond (25/1)

ROYAL FLEET has an excellent strike rate and is probably still on the up, so he gets the marginal vote ahead of Regal Reality, who showed he's every bit as good as he once was when scoring at Windsor last time. Alflaila should come into it if the race is run to suit and Ottoman Fleet, a stablemate of the selection, is another to consider having just his fourth career outing.
