10/1
Dual AW winner who was also a good third on turf at Epsom (7f) in May. Shaped as if still in good form when ninth of 26 in the Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot and this easier than the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood he ran in last time.

Useful at 2 but hasn't got close to that level in 3 outings this year. Bounce back needed.

Progressive when winning 3 times at up to 1m at the end of 2023. Not disgraced in a pair of AW listed races in March but last of 10 in German 2000 Guineas at Cologne when last seen in May (final start for Jane Chapple-Hyam). Best watched down in trip for new yard.

Has been in very good form over 6f at Windsor this summer, winning twice (both under Oisin Murphy) and placed on 3 other occasions. Lost chance at the start at Goodwood last time and treated as if still in form.

Pretty useful form and looked suited by the drop to sprinting when off the mark in 6f Southwell maiden at the end of August. Unexposed, particularly at this trip.

Forecasts

Smart Hero (2/1), First Folio (7/2), The Good Biscuit (5/1), Amazonian Dream (11/2), Rocking Ends (6/1), The X O (10/1), Tiger Crusade (14/1), Inishfallen (16/1), Buccabay (16/1), Habrdi (28/1)

Verdict

SMART HERO could have more to offer as a sprinter and gets the nod in this quite useful handicap. Fellow 3-y-o The Good Biscuit is interesting back from a break under Tom Marquand, who has a healthy strike-rate for Jack Channon. The shortlist is completed by Amazonian Dream, who can have a line put through his latest Goodwood run and had been in excellent form at Windsor prior to that.
