Streets Of Gold⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 102| D

10/1

No win since his 2-y-o days but he's recorded quite a few smart efforts in defeat since, including his close third in a Chepstow Racing League handicap 9 days ago.

Form: 05-9603

Lethal Levi^b¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 98| C

15/2

Revived by blinkers this summer, making all over 6f here in May before reaching the frame in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot (6f) and Bunbury Cup at Newmarket (7f). Prominent for a long way in the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood latest and likely still in form.

Spangled Mac^p,t²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Rossa Ryan| T: G Boughey| OR: 97| CD

11/1

Won this race 12 months ago and showed his versatility with a 5f Newcastle success on his final 4-y-o start. Operating below that level in 2 comeback runs last month but he's dipped to only 1 lb above the mark he defied at Newcastle.

Form: 0101-67

Age: 11| Weight: 9-8| J: Joe Leavy⁽⁵⁾| T: K Frost| OR: 94| CD

50/1

Latest win at Chelmsford in April. Creditable third at Chester in May but ran as if amiss (reportedly lost action) back from a break there 13 days ago. Won this race in 2022.

Form: 32-6130

Starlore⁵⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Tom Marquand| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 97| D

10/1

Very much caught the eye when 2 lengths seventh in a valuable 7f handicap at Goodwood in May, travelling strongly but not getting a run until it was all too late. Disappointing in the Britannia over 1m at Royal Ascot but no surprise to see him bounce back after a break.

Form: 149-470

Silver Samurai³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: W Buick| T: M Botti| OR: 92| C| D

16/1

Good second on the AW in January and went one better back from a break at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) in June. Softer ground possibly against him when well held at York since and William Buick takes the ride.

Form: 130-210

Accidental Agent^b²⁹⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 9-6| J: Mia Nicholls⁽⁵⁾| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 92| D

33/1

Still capable of very useful form last season but his last win was in spring 2022 and a watching brief has to be the percentage call on this rather belated reappearance.

Zabriskie Point¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Hollie Doyle| T: C Hills| OR: 89| D

8/1

Useful dual winner at 2 and resumed from 10 months off with an encouraging seventh of 13 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good to soft) in July, fading only late. Never-nearer fifth from a tricky draw at Glorious Goodwood (7f) since and the handicapper has dropped him another 2 lb. Could go well.

Form: 3419-75

(10)

Waleefy^t¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Jim Crowley| T: W J Haggas| OR: 87| D

10/3

Progressive form, running out a comfortable winner back at 7f at Doncaster (good to firm) a fortnight ago. The handicapper hasn't missed him with an 8 lb rise but it's likely this low-mileage 3-y-o has more to offer.

Form: 3-24121

(6)

Spanish Blaze¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Hayley Turner| T: M P Tregoning| OR: 87| C| D

5/1

Resumed winning ways at Sandown (7f) in June and comes here on the back of a good third of 14 in 1m Glorious Goodwood handicap 16 days ago, faring best of those ridden close up in a strongly-run affair. Big player back at 7f.

Form: 30-6123

(9)

Zouzanna²²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Oisin Murphy| T: Harry Charlton| OR: 81| BF| D

11/2

Creditable third of 10 at Ascot (7f, good0 3 weeks ago and he's back on the mark he defied at Ascot last summer. Oisin Murphy takes the ride again. Has to enter the reckoning.

Form: 36-9373

Waleefy (10/3), Spanish Blaze (5/1), Zouzanna (11/2), United Approach (6/1), Lethal Levi (15/2), Zabriskie Point (8/1), Starlore (10/1), Streets Of Gold (10/1), Spangled Mac (11/1), Silver Samurai (16/1), Be Frank (16/1), Accidental Agent (33/1), Documenting (50/1)

Perhaps one of the 3-y-os will come to fore in this useful handicap, with a chance taken on ZABRISKIE POINT, who has been better than the result in 2 strong 3-y-o only handicaps this summer and has dropped 4 lb in the meanwhile. Spanish Blaze can have his recent Glorious Goodwood effort marked up and is second choice ahead of Starlore, who failed to fire at Royal Ascot but his Goodwood promise prior to that is still fresh in the memory. United Approach looks the pick of the older contingent.
