Takeko²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Rose Dawes⁽⁵⁾| T: A Hansen| OR: 91| D

33/1

Fairly useful operator in Norway but something of an unknown quantity on British/handicap debut. Probably best watched.

Form: 323-144

(13)

Greatgadian²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Aidan Keeley⁽³⁾| T: R Varian| OR: 90| D

16/1

Useful handicapper who finished good sixth in the Lincoln back in April. Mostly respectable efforts since but he rates a more interesting proposition on AW than turf. Others preferred.

Form: 367307

(15)

Liberty Lane¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: P Mulrennan| T: K R Burke| OR: 97

8/1

Impressive winner of sole start at 2. Useful efforts in defeat this year, proving suited by the drop back to 1m when fourth of 12 in Newmarket handicap 14 days ago. Tends to race freely but there could still be a bigger performance in him.

Form: 1-2704

(9)

Fantastic Fox^p³²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: David Egan| T: R Varian| OR: 89

10/1

Dual winner in small-field contests in 2021 but proved rather expensive to follow since, disappointing in first-time cheekpieces at Hamilton (8.3f) 18 days ago. Mark is easing all the time at least.

Form: 20-4555

(6)

Wisper³²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: D C Costello| T: M P Tregoning| OR: 87

25/1

Won on Brighton reappearance in May. Only one creditable effort in three subsequent outings however, so looks up against it in this competitive event.

Form: 12-1635

(8)

Benacre⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Jason Hart| T: C Johnston| OR: 95| C

16/1

Successful 3 times from 5 starts during 2-y-o campaign and positive start to this season when fourth of 11 in a Newcastle listed race (1m). Bit disappointing in German 2000 Guineas and also turned in a laboured effort at Royal Ascot.

Form: 11-4240

(2)

Arthur's Realm^p²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 86

12/1

Hasn't won for over a year but mark has become lenient and he arrives on the back of a couple of solid placed efforts, third at Hamilton 3 weeks ago. Not discounted.

Form: 676423

(7)

Dashing Roger²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Connor Planas⁽⁵⁾| T: W Stone| OR: 85

25/1

Very useful handicapper at his peak but below that level lately and likely to find this too competitive in his current form.

Form: 700-537

(1)

Mostawaa³⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Jason Watson| T: H Main| OR: 85| D

7/1

Prominent racer who has thrived lately and arrives on a four-timer having completed the hat-trick in typically tenacious fashion at Carlisle in July. Another bold showing seems likely.

Form: 7-63111

(18)

Sceptic²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Callum Hutchinson⁽³⁾| T: A M Balding| OR: 92| BF| C

8/1

Improved to double his tally in 1m contest here in June, doing well to come from a long way back. Not in the same form at Sandown subsequently but every chance he'll get back on the up returned to this track.

Form: 4-16410

(3)

Graignes^t³⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: N Callan| T: George Baker| OR: 83

10/1

Lightly raced for this stable and capitalised on a reduced mark in emphatic style at Kempton last time, forging clear after tanking round. He's as effective on turf, so he's a definite player despite an 8-lb rise.

Form: 0/055-41

(12)

Sweet Reward⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: J G Portman| OR: 83| CD

16/1

C&D winner who returned to form when taking 7-runner handicap at Epsom last month. Only seventh at Sandown 9 days ago and needs a career-best.

Form: 852517

(10)

Whitefeathersfall³⁵⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: J Fanning| T: C Johnston| OR: 82| D

16/1

Capitalised on a slipping mark when successful on return at Carlisle (9f) last summer. Disappointed up in grade next 2 starts but did end the campaign with a respectable fourth over 1m at Ripon. Not a forlorn hope given he's gone well fresh before.

Form: 04/1944-

(5)

Imperial Ace²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Tom Marquand| T: H Palmer| OR: 88

10/1

Looked on the up when bagging 1m novices at Newcastle and Southwell in January and was back on track when fifth at Ascot last time, finishing well. Return to this distance should suit, so he's not one to rule out.

Form: 3-11955

(11)

Lose Your Wad²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: R Kingscote| T: C Hills| OR: 87

16/1

Muhaarar colt who made it second time lucky in 1m Kempton maiden on reappearance in April. Better form since but looked a rather tricky ride at Newmarket last time and improvement is required from his current mark,

Form: 4-14066

(14)

One Step Beyond²²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: R L Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 79| D

6/1

Has been in excellent form this season and put up another improved effort to make it 3 wins from his last 4 at Ascot last time. Had something up his sleeve there and looks sure to go well again.

Form: 221131

Forecasts

One Step Beyond (6/1), Mostawaa (7/1), Sceptic (8/1), Liberty Lane (8/1), Imperial Ace (10/1), Graignes (10/1), Fantastic Fox (10/1), Dual Identity (12/1), Arthur's Realm (12/1), Chasing Aphrodite (16/1), Lose Your Wad (16/1), Benacre (16/1), Greatgadian (16/1), Whitefeathersfall (16/1), Sweet Reward (16/1), Dashing Roger (25/1), Wisper (25/1), Takeko (33/1)

ONE STEP BEYOND is firmly on the up and had something to spare at Ascot last time, so he's worth a chance to follow up for all that this is a more competitive environment. Mostawaa arrives on a four-timer and is likely to give another good account, while Dual Identity would be worthy of consideration if taking his chance (engaged here on Friday).
