Beamish^p²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: James Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 102| D

16/1

Quickly developed into a smart stayer for P. Twomey in Ireland and he shaped encouragingly following a lengthy absence when sixth of 9 in handicap at Newbury (16.5f) in April. Never figured in big-field Royal Ascot handicap 24 days ago but return to easier ground a plus.

Form: 1336/60

Fox Journey²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: R L Moore| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 100

6/1

Roaring Lion colt who was well ridden when running out a comfortable winner from the front on the Rowley Mile course (12f) on return in May. Couldn't replicate that performance from inflated mark in Copper Horse handicap at Ascot since but no surprise to see a better showing.

Form: 1334-10

Bague D'or²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J Ferguson| OR: 95| CD

9/2

Likeable sort (C&D winner) who enhanced good record fresh when successful over this trip on the Rowley Mile course in May. Seemed unsuited by drop in trip when midfield in Duke of Edinburgh (12f) at Ascot 3 weeks ago and better showing anticipated back at this track/trip.

Form: 12/24-10

Zoffee¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: W Buick| T: H Palmer| OR: 94| D

14/1

Finished third in this race 2 years ago and, re-united with this stable, went one place better than 12 months earlier when bagging Chester Cup (18.6f) in May. Badly hampered over 2f out when midfield in Northumberland Plate 13 days ago and best treated as still in form.

Form: 6080-10

(3)

Fairbanks^b1²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 94| BF

15/8

Most progressive equipped with a visor, registering a clear-cut success from the front at Newcastle (12.5f) in May. Performed well both starts in defeat subsequently, latterly when sixth of 19 in Duke of Edinburgh Stakes and he's worth a crack at this longer trip. Blinkers replace visor.

Form: 11-6126

Solent Gateway^p,t¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Connor Planas⁽³⁾| T: H Palmer| OR: 90

40/1

Bounced back to form when chasing home a well-treated sort at Haydock (16.2f) in May but not for the first time this season proved disappointing when down the field in Northumberland Plate last month. Yard look to hold stronger claims with Zoffee.

Form: 3-00020

(6)

Tides Of War^h⁴⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: Hayley Turner| T: D M Simcock| OR: 89| D

22/1

Dual scorer earlier in his career in France who belatedly cashed in off his sliding mark in a refitted hood at Goodwood (14f) in May, edging ahead dying strides. Back up 4 lb in what rates a stronger contest though, and others appeal more.

Form: 53-9871

(4)

Knightswood¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Rossa Ryan| T: C Johnston| OR: 89

14/1

Successful on 2 of his 5 starts in 2023 and placed 3 times this year, including when going down an unlucky loser at Haydock (11.8f) on penultimate start. Below that level when fourth of 5 in handicap at Pontefract (12f) since and bounce back called for.

Form: 1-28324

(1)

Oneforthegutter^p⁵⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: R Kingscote| T: Ian Williams| OR: 89

14/1

Showed an excellent attitude to resume winning ways in 10-runner handicap at Southwell (1½m) on final outing of 2023. Creditable fifth of 13 at York (1½m, good) back from 5 months off at York (11.8f) in May and underfoot conditions in his favour here back up in trip.

Form: 6431-85

(10)

Vino Victrix³³

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: D Egan| T: H Morrison| OR: 88| BF| D

11/1

Had a productive 2022, including a good second in Cesarewitch here. Exploits mixed since but he did run creditably from his reduced mark when 1¾ lengths second of 11 to Tenerife Sunshine in handicap at Goodwood (2m) 33 days ago. Losing run is mounting up, however.

Form: 4053-42

(7)

Tenerife Sunshine^p²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Billy Loughnane| T: C Johnston| OR: 86

12/1

Snapped a losing run with a decisive display when seeing off Vino Victrix at Goodwood (2m) in June. Creditable eighth of 20 in Ascot Stakes (20f) subsequently and he's not discounted dropping back down to 1¾m.

Form: 245318

(5)

Artisan Dancer¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-6| J: J Fanning| T: C Johnston| OR: 82| D

40/1

4-y-o who had a very productive spell on all-weather, adding to his tally at Wolverhampton (14f) in February. Largely creditable efforts in defeat have followed and he faced a stiff task from out of the weights in last month's Northumberland Plate.

Form: 343730

Forecasts

Fairbanks (15/8), Bague D'or (9/2), Fox Journey (6/1), Vino Victrix (11/1), Tenerife Sunshine (12/1), Oneforthegutter (14/1), Knightswood (14/1), Zoffee (14/1), Beamish (16/1), Tides Of War (22/1), Artisan Dancer (40/1), Solent Gateway (40/1)

Having proved as good as ever when successful over this trip on the Rowley Mile course in May, BAGUE D'OR seemed to find the drop back in trip against him when finishing midfield in a big-field Royal Ascot handicap 3 weeks ago. Boasting an excellent record here, he could be worth siding with to come out on top back at 1¾m. Beamish is another to bear in mind with his Ascot run best overlooked. Fairbanks and Zoffee are a couple of others worthy of factoring in.
