9/1
Most likeable and reliable sprinter who was runner-up in the Wokingham and Stewards' Cup last season. As good as ever when placed in handicaps at Newmarket/Epsom both starts this term and should give another good account back up in class.

Better than ever this year, winning his last 2 starts, taking his form to another level when making all in an excellent time in class 2 handicap at Hamilton. Faces strong competition for the lead here but well worth a shot at this level.

7/1
Translated smart handicap form to Group 3 company when winning this last year. Another good handicap performance when seeing off 14 rivals at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft) in April but well below par in Temple Stakes at Haydock/King Charles III Stakes at Royal Ascot since.

3/1
Very speedy front runner who showed improved form when winning the Group 1 Nunthorpe Stakes at York last summer. Reappearance second in the Temple Stakes at Haydock was good and probably best excuse run there since. The one to beat.

Smart gelding who ran well when ¾-length fourth in Palace House at Newmarket (5f, good) on reappearance. Backed that up when 3¼ lengths sixth of 17 in King Charles III Stakes at Royal Ascot and can go well again back down in class. Headgear applied.

9/2
Landed a listed contest at Ayr last summer and held her own when fourth in the Nunthorpe at York and sixth in the Prix de l'Abbaye at Longchamp. Respectable efforts in defeat this term, 3¾ lengths seventh of 17 in King Charles III Stakes at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) 18 days ago. In the mix.

Ended solid juvenile campaign with a ¾-length success in a 6f listed event at York. Creditable third in 6f Ascot Group 3 on reappearance but limitations exposed in Sandy Lane at Haydock/King Charles III Stakes (80/1) at Royal Ascot both starts since.

Useful at 2yrs and back to that level when 1¼ lengths fourth of 7 in listed race at this C&D (good to soft, 28/1) 3 weeks ago. Firmly up against it here, however.

Forecasts

Live In The Dream (3/1), Makarova (9/2), Desperate Hero (5/1), Twilight Calls (5/1), Equality (7/1), Purosangue (9/1), Apollo One (9/1), Unbreak My Heart (25/1), So Majestic (33/1), Change Sings (50/1)

Verdict

LIVE IN THE DREAM skipped Royal Ascot for a crack at this and last year's Nunthorpe winner sets a clear standard. Twilight Calls will be suited by the likely strong pace so is next best ahead of the fast-improving Desperate Hero, who looks worth a shot at this level after his wide-margin win in a handicap at Hamilton.
