Quinault^h,t²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Marco Ghiani| T: S C Williams| OR: 102| CD

10/3

Hood back on when resuming winning ways with a career best in 8-runner listed race at Chester (6.1f, good to soft) 20 days ago by length from Al Shabab Storm. This C&D scorer must enter calculations.

Form: 0-86091

Russet Gold²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Varian| OR: 92

22/1

Useful gelding who got back to his best when 2¾ lengths fourth of 8 to Quinault in listed race at Chester (6.1f, good to soft) 20 days ago. This demands more, however.

Form: 27-3704

Sakheer⁹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: R Varian| OR: 106| BF| D

12/1

Lightly-raced 4-y-o who raced too freely after 11 months off when last of 6 in listed race at Salisbury (6f, good) in May. Smart at his best so can't be dismissed if back on his A-game.

Form: 211/70-6

Night Raider⁶³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: N Callan| T: K R Burke| OR: 103WS

10/1

Impressive winner of 7f novices at Southwell on first 2 starts. Has pulled hard when well beaten in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket and Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot since. Retains potential now back at 6f though.

Form: 1-100

Orne^b⁶⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Benoit D L Sayette| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 102

8/1

Yet to add to his Horris Hill juvenile win this term but he's posted several good efforts, aggressively ridden when ninth of 14 to Inisherin in Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm) 64 days ago. No forlorn hope.

Funny Story²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Rob Hornby| T: R M Beckett| OR: 101| CD

9/2

Useful C&D winner who comes here on the back of a good 2½ lengths third of 8 to Quinault in listed race at Chester (6.1f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Ought to be thereabouts.

Form: 71-2203

Vadream⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: D Egan| T: C Fellowes| OR: 102| D

7/4

Smart mare but she arrives in just fair form, seventh of 11 to Mill Stream in July Cup over C&D (good) 42 days ago. Holds very good claims if at her best.

Forecasts

Vadream (7/4), Quinault (10/3), Funny Story (9/2), Woodhay Wonder (11/2), Orne (8/1), Rage Of Bamby (8/1), Twilight Calls (8/1), Night Raider (10/1), Sakheer (12/1), Russet Gold (22/1)

Little between a few of these on form but Tom Ward's likeable C&D scorer WOODHAY WONDER still looks to have more to offer so edges the vote. Quinault could emerge as the main danger on the back of his recent Chester listed success, although both Vadream and Rage of Bamby have the form to play a big part if at their best. C&D winner Funny Story completes the shortlist.
