Haziym^t¹⁶⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: C Lee| T: A W Carroll| OR: 92

66/1

Capable of useful form on turf in France last year. Down the field in 3 AW handicaps for current yard over the winter. Could only consider if backed on this first outing for 168 days.

Form: 4047-88

Isla Kai¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Rowan Scott| T: N Tinkler| OR: 90| D

5/1

Capitalised on drop in weights/class to end losing run at Ripon (1m, heavy) in April. Has found life tougher since but the fact he's dropped back to that last successful mark makes him a dangerous one to discount.

Rhoscolyn^t⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Oisin Murphy| T: D O'Meara| OR: 87| CD

2/1

C&D winner. Has had 25 runs since his last win but there have been plenty of good efforts in defeat since then and he shaped as if he might be ready to take advantage of his falling mark when second at Beverley 9 days ago. Has run well at this meeting before. Player under Oisin Murphy.

Larado^b¹⁴⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Theodore Ladd| T: M Appleby| OR: 85| D

40/1

Farasi Lane^v¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Hector Crouch| T: T Ward| OR: 83| D

17/2

Second success of the year when edging ahead close home at Ascot (7f, soft) 18 days ago. The second and third boosted than form when winning last week. Wide draw has the potential to make like tricky but he could still be well treated.

Form: 664531

Love De Vega¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: L Dettori| T: C Johnston| OR: 79| D

8/1

Lost his way in the second half of last year but has dropped to a favourable mark and shaped as if retaining plenty of ability when sixth of 12 on his 7f Newmarket reappearance 19 days ago. Frankie Dettori has won on him before. Interesting contender.

Form: 53770-6

Secret Strength^p¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: David Egan| T: J R Boyle| OR: 75| D

40/1

Back to winning ways at Newbury (7f, good to firm) in June but slow starts are an issue for him and he completely blew his chance with a very slow one at Epsom since.

RHOSCOLYN's runner-up effort in the 2021 Golden Mile shows he can cope with the demands of big-field handicaps here and he's worth siding with after showing signs that he may be ready to capitalise on his reduced mark at Beverley last week. Charlie Johnston's Love de Vega should be spot on for this after his recent comeback outing and is of interest with Frankie Dettori getting the call-up. Richard Hannon has won this 3 times since 2018 so his pair Classic and Dark Thirty also merit respect.
