Son⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon| OR: 101

22/1

Useful colt who has contested only listed/Group races since a maiden win last summer. Ran well when fourth in 7f Greenham on Newbury reappearance but well held in Heron at Sandown and Jersey at Ascot since. Plenty to prove now handicapping up in trip.

Form: 535-460

Mortlake³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett| OR: 94

14/1

Fast-ground Leicester novice winner at 2. Shrugged off a disappointing reappearance at the York Dante meeting when third of 6 over 1m at Sandown (good to firm) 6 weeks later. 1¼m should be within range. Remains unexposed.

Form: 615-03

Midnight Gun⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: James Doyle| T: H Al Jehani| OR: 93

18/5

Progressive, winning Nottingham novice and Newmarket handicap (both 1m) for Ed Walker in May/June. Subsequently bought by Wathnan Racing and has switched to Hamad Al Jehani. Should have more to offer and leading claims from a handy draw.

Form: 0-511

Watcha Matey¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: R L Moore| T: H Palmer| OR: 93

7/1

Won 1m handicaps on first 2 starts this season and not disgraced in ultra-competitive heats over at Royal Ascot and the Newmarket July meeting. Steps up to 1¼m now and Ryan Moore takes the ride.

Form: 10-1186

(12)

Aragon Castle^t³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Callum Hutchinson⁽³⁾| T: A M Balding| OR: 92

14/1

Good second of 11 over 1m here before getting off the mark for the season when 1m Hamilton handicap a month ago. Tackles 1¼m for the first time and he'll need to improve for it.

Form: 84-5221

(14)

Sisyphean²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 90

12/1

AW novice winner who showed useful and much improved form on the back of wind surgery when drawing 5 lengths clear in 1m York handicap (good to soft) 3 weeks ago. Even a 10 lb rise doesn't look severe but he needs to prove himself at 1¼m. The draw could have been kinder, too.

Form: 524-171

(7)

Palace Green⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Oisin Murphy| T: R Hughes| OR: 90| D

4/1

Much improved back from a gelding op when 5-length winner of 1¼m Kempton novice in April. Took another step forward when third of 8 in a 1½m York Dante meeting handicap in May and shaped well (met trouble) when sixth in Golden Gates at Royal Ascot (1¼m, good to firm). Remains capable of better.

Form: U35-136

(9)

Approval⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 88| D

11/2

Runner-up in a pair of 8.6f Wolverhampton novices this spring before taking his form up a notch back on turf with a smooth win at Windsor (1¼m) in June. Possible he found the run coming too soon when fading into a well-held seventh in the Golden Gates at Royal Ascot 12 days later.

Form: 9-2217

(11)

Into Battle⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: Hollie Doyle| T: E Walker| OR: 83| BF

7/1

Maiden/novice winner around 1m who made a good start to his handicap career when fifth in the strong London Gold Cup at Newbury (1¼m) in May. Creditable length third of 7 at Sandown (9f) since, particularly as he was tight for room on occasions. Remains with untapped potential for in-form yard.

Form: 51-153

(13)

Brioni⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: Vincent C Y Ho| T: A King| OR: 82

22/1

Progressive on first 4 starts, including an AW maiden win. Well held last twice, although it was in the very strong London Gold Cup on the first occasion and he met trouble at Sandown last time. Fairly handicapped if recapturing his best form.

Form: 32-1207

MIDNIGHT GUN was notably strong in the market when making a successful start to his handicap career at Newmarket in June. That form has been boosted and he can make light of a 5lb rise on his first outing for new connections. The selection's former stablemate Into Battle didn't enjoy the rub of the green when a beaten favourite at Sandown last time and is second choice ahead of Palace Green, who also didn't have things go his way on his latest start at Royal Ascot.
