Ehraz^b²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: R L Moore| T: R Hannon| OR: 105| D

10/1

Smart sprinter who has ran close to his best with blinkers added when fifth in Group 3 Hackwood at Newbury and third in Listed event at Chester on his last two starts. Should be thereabouts back in handicap company.

Form: 691-353

Anthem National⁵⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: P Mulrennan| T: P A Kirby| OR: 105

66/1

Very good 1¼ lengths second of 10 to Commanche Falls in listed race at the Curragh (6f, good to firm) 55 days ago on his final run for Joseph O'Brien. Much respected for his new yard.

Form: 3-34552

Gale Force Maya^p⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 102| BF| CD

8/1

3-time C&D winner who posted another solid effort when ¼ lengths fourth of 11 to Believing in Listed race at Pontefract (6f, good) 6 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. In the mix.

Form: 04-0734

Summerghand^v⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 9-9| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 102| BF| CD

11/2

Grand servant to connections who won Ayr Gold Cup 12 months ago. Back in top form of late and failed by just a head in Great St Wilfrid at Ripon a week ago. Player with usual visor back on in his bid to repeat last year's win.

Form: 000642

Mums Tipple²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 101| CD

8/1

Largely consistent sort in 6f/7f handicaps and he posted a good fourth in Royal Ascot's Wokingham. Run best ignored (raced in unfavoured centre) in Stewards' Cup at Goodwood last time so needs considering.

Form: 614540

(17)

Fresh^t²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: O J Orr| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 101| D

14/1

Very useful winner who has got back to his best of late at Ascot, fifth in Wokingham at the Royal meeting before coming in 11th in the International when raced on unfavoured far side. Yet another who can't be discounted.

Form: 00-5050

(1)

Aberama Gold^v²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Mark Winn⁽³⁾| T: D O'Meara| OR: 100| CD

6/1

Dual winner for Keith Dalgleish in June and has taken his form to another level for his new yard with further 6f success at York and in Stewards' Cup at Goodwood. Up another 5 lb but he can't be taken lightly in his current mood.

Form: 118511

(5)

King Of Bavaria^t⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Frederick Larson⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 96| D

80/1

Scored at Windsor in May but below form since, beating only one in Great St Wilfrid at Ripon a week ago. Others appeal more.

Form: 271860

(9)

Lethal Levi^p¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 96| D

8/1

Yet to score this term but has posted some good efforts in defeat, fifth in 7f Newmarket handicap 14 days ago. Merits consideration with cheekpieces back on.

Form: 020355

(12)

Tactical^p²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Tom Marquand| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 96| D

25/1

Group-class in his pomp when in the care of Andrew Balding, but he has failed to make an impact on all three starts for new connections this season, having a wind op/cheekpieces on before coming in 21st in Goodwood's Stewards' Cup last time. Others are more persuasive.

Form: 406-560

(10)

Mr Wagyu^v²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 95| CD

9/1

Admirable sprinter who got back on track when fourth of 27 to Aberama Gold in Stewards' Cup at Goodwood 21 days ago. This C&D winner can go well again off the same mark.

Form: 739774

(13)

Albasheer^b²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 95

7/1

Useful winner at 2yrs for Owen Burrows. Lightly raced since but he has shaped better than the bare result in big handicaps on his last three runs, eighth in the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood last time. Very much one to consider off a 2 lb lower mark.

Form: 9/67078

(18)

The Green Man^p²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Kaiya Fraser⁽⁵⁾| T: J Parr| OR: 95| CD

8/1

Is enjoying an excellent season and scored over C&D in June. Posted another good effort here when third of 15 to Aberama Gold last month so must enter calculations.

Form: 931133

(2)

Mondammej³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 94| D

28/1

Useful gelding but he arrives on a lengthy losing run and has been below form on his last 4 outings. It's easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 825400

(8)

Bosh⁴¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R Hannon| OR: 94| CD

25/1

C&D juvenile winner who has shown some useful form in a light campaign since. Returns from 13 months off here so others appeal more on this occasion.

Form: 120/340-

(11)

The Big Board²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: R Hannon| OR: 96| D

25/1

Much improved in 2023 and bagged her third win at Ascot in July. Only thirteenth of 14 there last time but she can bounce back now. Lively outsider returned to 6f.

Form: 4-10110

(7)

Temple Bruer^b,t⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-7| J: A J Farragher⁽³⁾| T: M Murphy & M Keady| OR: 86| D

33/1

Successful at Doncaster and Newmarket in June and not disgraced when fourth of 18 in Great St Wilfrid at Ripon 7 days ago. One for the shortlist eased 1 lb.

SUMMERGHAND signalled he is ready to go in again when just failing to get up in the Great St Wilfrid a week ago and can follow up his success here 12 months ago with his usual visor now refitted having been left off at Ripon. Archie Watson's Albasheer hasn't enjoyed the rub of the green of late and could emerge as the chief threat to David O'Meara's grand veteran, although a good case can also be made for the handily-weighted Orazio, Stewards' Cup hero Aberama Gold and C&D scorer The Green Man.
