Ancient Wisdom⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby| OR: 114| C

6/4

Excellent 4-5 at 2yrs when ending his campaign with Group 1 glory in the Futurity at Doncaster. Not disgraced when second in the Dante at York on return but failed to build on it when eighth in the Derby at Epsom. Remains one to consider though now stepped up in trip.

Form: 1311-28

Portland²¹

11/2

Landed 12f listed race at Leopardstown in June and not disgraced when eighth of 12 to Jayarebe in Hampton Court Stakes at Royal Ascot (10f, firm) 21 days ago. Needs this big step up in trip to spark improvement.

Form: 43-2418

Royal Supremacy²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 105

9/2

Dual winner at 2 yrs. Has taken his form up a notch this term, second in Derby Italiano at Rome before an excellent third of 14 to Calandagan in King Edward VII Stakes at Royal Ascot (12f). Very much one to consider with his stamina drawn out more.

Form: 141-323

Space Legend²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: James Doyle| T: W J Haggas| OR: 108

2/1

Improving son of of Sea The Stars who comes here on the back of a fine second of 14 to Calandagan in King Edward VII Stakes at Royal Ascot (12f, good to firm) 20 days ago. More to offer over this longer trip. Big shout.

Forecasts

Ancient Wisdom (6/4), Space Legend (2/1), Royal Supremacy (9/2), Portland (11/2), Kinesiology (16/1)

SPACE LEGEND has improved a chunk with each of his four runs to date so William Haggas' King Edward VII runner-up is taken to resume winning ways. Royal Supremacy came home a place behind the selection that day and rates the chief threat, although Ancient Wisdom is another with the form to have a say if back to his juvenile best in an intriguing Bahrain Trophy.
