7/2
Completed 5-timer at Newbury on return, before a fine second in Coronation Cup at Epsom. Rare below-par effort when fourth of 6 in Princess of Wales's Stakes at Newmarket (12f, good to soft, 11/10) 58 days ago, but no surprise to see him bounce back.

28/1
Better than ever when winning handicap here (11f) in April. Creditable third in Group 3 at Newbury next time, before doing too much too soon in Wolferton Stakes at Royal Ascot (10f, good to firm, 28/1) 81 days ago. Step back up in trip should suit.

Successful twice here last year, including C&D listed race in November. Unable to sustain effort when 4¾ lengths last of 5 to Al Aasy in Glorious Stakes at Goodwood (12f, good to firm, 4/1) 35 days ago, but he's one to note returned to all-weather.

Landed second major handicap at Newcastle when winning the Northumberland Plate in June. Ran well when seventh of 20 in Ebor at York (13.8f, good to firm, 33/1) 2 weeks ago, though faces a difficult ask in this contest.

Back down in grade with cheekpieces on for first time, returned to form when 4½ lengths second of 5 to the reopposing Kalpana in listed race at Hamilton (11.1f, good to firm, 13/2) 50 days ago. Has work to do at this level.

Was seen to advantage when fifth of 8 in Classic Trial at Sandown in April. However, shaped as if amiss when tailed off in Hampton Court Stakes at Royal Ascot (10f, firm 40/1) 65 days ago. Gelded since and hood on first time.

1/1
Having been unraced at 2 yrs, made it 3 wins from 6 starts this year with a ready success in 5-runner listed race at Hamilton (11.1f, good to firm, 5/6) 50 days ago by 4½ lengths from God's Window. Capable of better still as she goes back up in trip.

Forecasts

Kalpana (1/1), Lion's Pride (7/2), Hamish (7/2), God's Window (12/1), Cemhaan (28/1), Onesmoothoperator (33/1), Under The Sun (80/1)

Verdict

LION'S PRIDE has won 2 of his 3 starts at this course, with the form of all 3 races proving to be strong, so he is taken to bounce back to form and provide his yard with a fifth success in the September Stakes from the last 7 renewals. The 4-y-o can see off the challenge of Hamish, who landed this contest in 2021, with Kalpana completing the shortlist.
