Movie Maker²⁶⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: Oisin Murphy| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 91| C

11/4

Much improved from debut when getting off the mark in convincing fashion here 12 months ago and probably needed the run when fourth of 15 in Jumeirah Guineas Trial at Meydan (7f, good) back in January. Not seen since but remains with potential on handicap debut (has been gelded).

Form: 51-4

(6)

Amphius²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: R L Moore| T: Harry Charlton| OR: 91| D

5/1

Stood out on form and didn't need to repeat the form of his handicap second at Kempton to get off the mark in 4-runner maiden at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 3 weeks ago. Back in a handicap (from 4 lb higher) and can kick on now up and running.

Form: 42321

Mustajaab¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 86| D

33/1

Made it 2-2 on the AW when scoring with plenty to spare on return/first run since being gelded at Southwell (7f) in April. However, it's been a bit of a struggle on turf since, but he did take a step back in the right direction back on softer ground at Ascot recently.

Form: 080075

Metaverse^h⁵²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Tom Marquand| T: D Menuisier| OR: 86| D

11/2

Gained reward for consistency and underlined that he's still going the right way when winning at Newmarket in July. Seemed unsuited by the track when well beaten at Goodwood later that month and can get back on an upward trajectory.

Form: 452210

Run Boy Run^p¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Saffie Osborne| T: R Spencer| OR: 86| D

4/1

Winner of a Newcastle maiden in March and has improved since the application of cheekpieces, winning twice over 7f at Newmarket (good to firm/soft) last month. Had winning run ended but continued at the very top of his game when third at Ascot recently and should go well again.

Form: 202113

City Of York^h¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: S De Sousa| T: D M Simcock| OR: 76| BF| C

11/4

Ridden a little closer to the pace and turned in his best effort of the season down in grade when runner-up at Southwell (8.1f) 18 days ago. Back down at 7f for the first time since his 2-y-o days and rates a major player from the same mark with De Sousa likely to be positive.

Form: 574452

King Cabo⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Jack Dace⁽⁷⁾| T: L A Dace| OR: 74| D

50/1

Capitalised on a falling mark to give his rider a first winner at Lingfield in August. Not in the same form in more competitive events the last twice and this even tougher.

Form: 306148

Forecasts

Movie Maker (11/4), City Of York (11/4), Run Boy Run (4/1), Amphius (5/1), Metaverse (11/2), Harvard Sound (7/1), Persuasion (8/1), North View (10/1), Noodle Mission (10/1), Pedro Valentino (14/1), Zabriskie Point (14/1), Great Max (20/1), Jungle Mac (20/1), Monkey Island (20/1), Accidental Agent (25/1), Woodstock (25/1), Nibras Angel (25/1), Mustajaab (33/1), Mcmanaman (33/1), King Cabo (50/1)

Cases can be made for a number of these, so it could pay to take a chance on CITY OF YORK, who was last seen in winning action when completing a hat-trick on this card last year and he turned in his best effort of the season when runner-up at Southwell earlier this month. North View got off the mark for the campaign partnered by Buick for the first time over C&D recently so heads up the dangers, while Amphius, Movie Maker and Noodle Mission all merit consideration, too.
