Desert Cop²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Harry Davies⁽³⁾| T: A M Balding| OR: 105| D

12/1

Has come a long way in a short time, posting a smart effort to win conditions race at Newcastle (6f, AW) on Good Friday. Good sixth of 17 to Bradsell in King's Stand at Royal Ascot last time so needs considering now going handicapping for yard (1 of 2 runners) with good record in this.

Alpha Capture¹³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 100| D

28/1

Useful gelding. Tongue strap on when good second in conditions event at Southwell but he came in last when blinkered in Lingfield listed event in March. Needs to bounce back on his handicap debut.

Form: 1213-27

Mill Stream²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Marco Ghiani| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 99| D

7/1

Useful winning juvenile who comes here on the back of a good 1¼ lengths third of 21 to Quinault in valuable handicap at York (6f, good to firm) 26 days ago. May do better still so he's well in the mix.

Form: 124-63

(16)

Tajalla²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: David Egan| T: R Varian| OR: 97

16/1

Improving colt who landed 5f novices on Rowley course here and at Hamitlon before posting an excellent 1¼ lengths second of 7 to Lady Hamana in listed race at Sandown (5f, good to firm) 26 days ago. Can do better still now handicapping up in trip.

Form: 1-12

(12)

Washington Heights²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: R L Moore| T: K A Ryan| OR: 94| BF

9/2

Strong-travelling sort who arrives on the up, runner-up in 6f handicaps on his last 3 starts, chasing home Shaquille (now rated 123) here on the first occasion then Quinault twice. Headed only late on at York and seems sure to go well again.

Form: 23-9222

(15)

Rousing Encore²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 94| D

40/1

Useful colt who was second in Group 2 Mill Reef at Newbury last season. Has found life tough this term, well held on handicap debut behind Quinault and co at York last time.

Form: 24-0570

Dark Thirty²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 91| D

22/1

Back to winning ways at York (7f) in May and good effort at Goodwood next time. Poorly placed and excuses in the Britannia 3 weeks ago but not sure this return to sprinting will be in his favour.

Form: 742140

(11)

Quinault^h,t²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Connor Planas⁽⁵⁾| T: S C Williams| OR: 90| D

4/1

Sprinter on a roll, making it 5-5 in handicaps when landing valuable 3-y-o contest at York under this apprentice last month, edging out Washington Heights with a couple of today's rivals also in the frame. Suspect he'll have even more to offer and could defy 5 lb rise.

Form: 611111

Frankness²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Callum Hutchinson⁽³⁾| T: A M Balding| OR: 90| D

11/1

Scored twice as a 2-y-o and resumed winning ways with something to spare in 6-runner handicap at Goodwood (6f, good to firm) last month. Shaped well in the 3-y-o 5f handicap at Royal Ascot (met trouble, finished strongly) subsequently. Return to 6f will suit and yard have a good record in this.

Form: 8-97516

(5)

Eminency^p1²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: J P Fahy| T: C G Cox| OR: 88| D

9/1

Sprinter going the right way, again chasing home Quinault and Washington Heights at York last time, settling better. Application of cheekpieces looks a good move.

Form: 53-4334

(6)

Animate^p¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 87

20/1

Dual AW winner over 7f and went close behind smart prospect at Newcastle 12 days ago, improving and looking the likely winner for much of the final furlong. Same mark and not dismissed.

Form: 14-6132

(8)

Redemption Time^t²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: Ray Dawson| T: C G Cox| OR: 87

20/1

Juvenile winner who has run well in competitive 3-y-o York handicaps the last twice, staying on in sixth behind Quinault and co last time. Clearly needs a bit more to come out on top.

Form: 190-036

(10)

Tough Enough^h³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: Hayley Turner| T: J Tate| OR: 87| D

11/1

Went the right way as a 2-y-o and struck on handicap debut back on turf after 7 months at Windsor 5 weeks ago (Eminency third, good form). Up 4 lb and could have even more to offer.

Form: 231-1

(7)

Ferrous¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: Aidan Keeley⁽³⁾| T: J Channon| OR: 86| BF| D

28/1

Struck at Goodwood (5f) in May and shaped as if still in form at Windsor next time, forced to try and make up his ground on the outer flank. Back up in trip with in-form apprentice booked.

Form: 1-26315

(14)

Executive Decision^h²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-3| J: Saffie Osborne| T: J A Osborne| OR: 85| D

40/1

Juvenile winner for Jessica Harrington (sold 82,000 gns) and made a promising start for new yard in the Palace of Holyroodhouse Handicap at Royal Ascot, taking strong hold and nearest finish. Interesting back up in trip on the back of that.

Form: 7152-5

Be Frank²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: George Rooke| T: H Candy| OR: 84| D

8/1

Successful return in 6f Salisbury maiden (good form) and improved again when landing Windsor handicap impressively 24 days ago, staying on strongly. There is more to come from him.

Form: 65-11

Forecasts

Quinault (4/1), Washington Heights (9/2), Mill Stream (7/1), Be Frank (8/1), Eminency (9/1), Tough Enough (11/1), Frankness (11/1), Desert Cop (12/1), Tajalla (16/1), Redemption Time (20/1), Animate (20/1), Dark Thirty (22/1), Ferrous (28/1), Alpha Capture (28/1), Executive Decision (40/1), Rousing Encore (40/1), Brave Nation (66/1)

BE FRANK was strong at the finish when making a winning handicap debut at Windsor and there is more to come from him. He gets the vote in a red-hot contest. The form of last month's valuable 3-y-o York 6f handicap is well represented with the first 4 home, led by the thriving Quinault, who seems sure to go close again with old rival Washington Heights. Frankness is also considered.
