5/1
Well-bred colt who left debut form behind when winning 10-runner maiden at Kempton (8f) in November. Improved again when an excellent third pitched into listed company at Goodwood in May (11.2f) and while this opening mark is stiff on the face of it, his limit hasn't been reached.

7/2
Stepped up on his juvenile form when making a successful handicap debut/reappearance over 1¼m at Leopardstown (heavy) in April. Improved again when third to King's Gambit in the ultra-competitive London Gold Cup at Newbury but he didn't look an easy ride at Ascot last time.

12/1
Stormed clear to land a Wolverhampton novice in February and followed up in more workmanlike style under a penalty on the Rowley 2 months later. Stumbled early and ran no sort of race in listed company last time. Best to draw a line through that run and he's certainly in the right hands.

10/3
Debut winner at Redcar last September and useful form in defeat since, notably second of 12 in Silver Bowl at Haydock (1m, good to soft) pulling well clear of the rest. Sound effort in the Britannia since and he looks ready for this trip.

10/1
Took form to a new level when an easy winner on second handicap start at Chester in June. Held up in a steadily-run race when following up over C&D 3 weeks ago so that masked his superiority. Up 8 lb but remains capable of better.

12/1
Didn't show a great deal in a trio of 7f outings at 2 ys but much improved fitted with blinkers, supplementing his AW win on handicap debut at Sandown last month. Raised 9 lb but highly likely that he has more to offer.

8/1
Won second of 3 starts in novice company at up to 7f at 2 yrs. Gelded after and definite encouragement to glean from his close-up fourth on return/handicap debut at Goodwood (1m) and he saw out 9f well when runner-up at Sandown.

Age: 3|  Weight: 8-5| J: Hayley Turner| T: A M Balding| OR:  82
18/1
Stepped up on his 2-y-o form when justifying strong market support on return (also gelded) on handicap debut at Kempton in March. A couple of lesser efforts followed but ran well in a first-time visor when fourth of 7 at Sandown (Mr Monaco second). Will need to settle better.

8/1
Signs of temperament over the winter but put it all together to land a Lingfield nursery just before Christmas. 3 next-time-out winners emerged from that race, and he showed appreciably better form in defeat 4 months on when runner-up om the Rowley (10f) in May. Gelded since and worth considering.

28/1
Promising start to career when runner-up first 2 starts and responded well to an attacking ride when opening her account in a Chelmsford novice (1¼m) last month. Proved too keen upped in trip here a fortnight ago.

Forecasts

Involvement (10/3), Chantilly (7/2), Royal Power (5/1), Mr Monaco (8/1), Sun God (8/1), Rebaatt (10/1), Travolta (12/1), Endless Victory (12/1), Break The Bank (18/1), Candle Of Dubai (28/1)

Verdict

A cracking 3-y-o handicap with SUN GOD just about the most appealing proposition at the forecast prices. His 2-y-o win turned out to be strong form, and with a sound reappearance under his belt, he looks the type to benefit from a subsequent gelding operation. Travolta and Rebaatt are going the right way too, while Royal Power has the scope to rate higher.
