Benevento¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: D Egan| T: Raphael Freire| OR: 99

7/1

Knew his job well when successful at Yarmouth on debut. Subsequently left Dominic Ffrench Davis and was much improved after 4 months off when finding only a progressive type too strong in listed race at Ripon (6f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Respected.

Form: 12

God Of War⁵⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: D Tudhope| T: Tom Clover| CD

12/1

Showed plenty of ability when making the frame at Yarmouth on debut and confirmed that promise when landing novice at this C&D (good to firm) 50 days ago. This is tougher upped in grade but he's open to improvement.

Form: 41

(7)

Jonquil¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: R L Moore| T: Sir Michael Stoute| D

7/4

Made obvious appeal on paper and overcame inexperience when making a winning start in 10-runner maiden at Sandown (7f, good) 2 weeks ago, leading post having been denied a clear run 2f out. Not taken lightly with the potential of plenty more to offer.

Form: 1

Mr Chaplin²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Rob Hornby| T: R M Beckett| OR: 96| D

6/1

Didn't have things go his way in the Coventry but quickly back on the up when making it 2 wins from 4 starts in nursery at Glorious Goodwood (7f). Wasn't disgraced when fifth in Acomb at York (7f, good to firm) last time, though he needs to find more.

Form: 41015

Mukaber²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: J P Spencer| T: R Hannon| OR: 87| D

28/1

Took a step forward on his fourth start when making all in 13-runner maiden at Newbury (7f, good to firm) in August. Benefited from the longer trip last time but also given an excellent ride, so he has something to find as he goes up in grade.

Symbol Of Honour⁸⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: James Doyle| T: C Appleby| OR: 100

3/1

Expensive purchase who left his debut form behind when winning a Lingfield maiden in May, before beaten only a length when sixth in 22-runner Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm). Gelded since and he's a leading contender back down in grade.

Form: 616

(6)

The Waco Kid^t²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: H Palmer| OR: 98

8/1

Put debut experience to good use when winning novice at Newbury in July and progressed again when fifth of 9 in Richmond Stakes at Goodwood next time. Respectable fourth in Acomb at York (7f, good to firm) 23 days ago and he can give his running once more.

Form: 4154

Forecasts

Jonquil (7/4), Symbol Of Honour (3/1), Mr Chaplin (6/1), Benevento (7/1), The Waco Kid (8/1), God Of War (12/1), Mukaber (28/1)

After opening his account on his second start, SYMBOL OF HONOUR ran well upped in grade when not beaten far in the Coventry at Royal Ascot, so he remains capable of better having been gelded since last time. He can see of the challenge of the Sir Michael Stoute-trained Jonquil, who looked very promising when making a winning debut, with Benevento also considered.
