10/3
Progressive son of Crystal Ocean who comes here on a hat-trick after recent handicap wins at Kempton (12f) and Doncaster (14.5f). Can do better still so must enter calculations despite a 7 lb rise.

Too Darn Holt colt who completed his hat-trick at Chester (10.3f) in May. Ran a cracker when fourth of 19 in handicap at Royal Ascot (12f, firm) 16 days ago. Should have more to offer. Player.

Got off the mark at Wolverhampton (12.2f) in April but has struggled to make an impact in better company since, eighth of 11 in Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot (14.2f) 17 days ago. Still not ruled out now making his handicap debut.

Sea The Stars colt who has improved a chunk with each of his three starts, emphatically landing 8-runner maiden at Hamilton (11.1f, good to firm) 24 days ago. Interesting contender now his stamina is drawn out more on his handicap debut.

Improving son of Golden Horn who bagged 10f handicap at Ascot in May. Very good third of 11 to Align The Stars at Thirsk (12f, good) 20 days ago. Open to more progress on his first go at 14f.

50/1
A fairly useful 7.5f juvenile winner but she beat only one after 8 months off in listed race at Goodwood (9.9f, good to firm) 42 days ago. Needs this switch to handicaps to spark major improvement.

Scored at Salisbury (12f) in May and on the up until coming in only sixteenth of 19 in handicap at Royal Ascot (12f, firm) 16 days ago. Worth another chance with cheekpieces now added.

Yet to score but this Night Of Thunder gelding arrives in good nick, second of 11 to Align The Stars in handicap (9/1) at Thirsk (12f, good) 20 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up.

Fair maiden but she failed to build on previous efforts on her handicap bow when only sixth of 9 at Sandown (10f, good) 22 days ago. She shouldn't be written off though now stepped up markedly in trip with cheekpieces added.

Son of Nathaniel who opened his account in 5-runner handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) 9 days ago. This longer trip promises to suit so possibilities despite a 5 lb rise.

Got off the mark at Beverley in May but below form in handicaps at York (10.2f) and Thirsk (12f) since. Goes up in trip but others are more persuasive.

Forecasts

Dramatic Star (3/1), Wild Waves (10/3), Align The Stars (7/1), Fouroneohfever (8/1), Too Bossy For Us (17/2), My Noble Lord (10/1), Games People Play (11/1), East India Dock (16/1), Tryfan (20/1), Filibustering (20/1), Hampden (22/1), Pappano (25/1), Local Arms (50/1), Flickering Halo (125/1)

Verdict

William Haggas has a fine record in this and his upwardly-mobile Sea The Stars colt DRAMATIC STAR is fancied to make a winning start to life in handicaps. George Boughey's Fouroneohfever also looks to have better days ahead of him and heads the list of dangers, although a solid case can be made for Wild Waves, Too Bossy For Us and Games People Play too in this cracking handicap.
