Benevento¹¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: D Egan| T: Raphael Freire

12/1

4/1, knew job very well when won 6-runner maiden at Yarmouth (5.2f, good to soft) on debut back in May. Open to improvement on first run for yard after leaving Dominic Ffrench Davis and falls into the 'could be anything' category.

Form: 1

Line Of Force⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: S A Gray| T: K R Burke| OR: 87| CD

9/1

C&D winner. 2 wins from 4 runs this year. Creditable 3¾ lengths second of 6 to Soldier's Heart in novice at this C&D (good to firm, 5/2) 9 days ago. Likely to find at least him too strong.

Form: 1162

Mearall¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| CD

4/1

Cotai Glory colt who was well backed and overcame inexperience to make a winning debut in comfortable fashion in 7-runner novice at this C&D (good to firm) 15 days ago. Hiked up in class but he's sure to progress and win more races.

Form: 1

Shadow Army^v1¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: James Doyle| T: R A Fahey| OR: 104

7/2

Won at York on debut and improved when second in Prix Robert Papin at Chantilly last month. By no means disgraced pitched into Group 1 company when 5 lengths fourth of 5 to Babouche in Phoenix Stakes at the Curragh (6f, good to firm) recently and more severe headgear is enlisted. Big chance.

Form: 1024

Soldier's Heart^t⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Harry Davies| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 94| CD

15/8

2 wins from 4 runs this year, latest in in authoritative fashion in 6-runner novice (evens) at this C&D (good to firm) 9 days ago by 3¾ lengths from Line of Force. Shade disappointing in Group 3 company at Goodwood but shortlisted at this level.

Form: 2181

Spirit Of Leros^p¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Marco Ghiani| T: M Botti| OR: 89| D

18/1

Left Ascot debut behind when readily winning a 6f Lingfield novice in June. No impact in listed company at Newbury the following month but quickly back on the up when making a winning handicap debut in first-time cheekpieces at latter course 10 days ago. Worth another chance.

Form: 5181

Preanka²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: D Allan| T: Alice Haynes| D

7/1

Looked potentially useful when winning 13-runner maiden at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 22/1) on debut 4 weeks ago, settling matters in quite taking fashion. Gets 5 lb from her male rivals and should progress.

Form: 1

Forecasts

Soldier's Heart (15/8), Shadow Army (7/2), Mearall (4/1), Preanka (7/1), Line Of Force (9/1), Benevento (12/1), Spirit Of Leros (18/1)

A trappy sprint in which the vote goes to SHADOW ARMY, who was far from disgraced pitched into Group 1 company when fourth at the Curragh just over a fortnight ago so with more severe headgear reached for, Richard Fahey's colt can double his tally back in this grade (sent off favourite in Windsor Castle) at the expense of Soldier's Heart, who bolted up over C&D last time. Spirit of Leros opened his account at Newbury recently and rounds off the shortlist.
