Selected odds by:

(1)

Apollo One²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: D Tudhope| T: P Charalambous & J Clutterbuck| OR: 104| D

17/2

Most likeable and reliable sprinter who came second in the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood and produced another big effort when filling the same spot in the Portland at Doncaster last time. Not taken lightly back in Group company.

Form: 236282

(3)

English Oak¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: J P Spencer| T: E Walker| OR: 108| C

4/1

Posted personal best when landing Buckingham Palace Stakes at this track in June but hasn't made the same impact at a better level since, still below his best when second in a listed race at Newbury 15 days ago. Not completely dismissed.

Form: 211462

(6)

Korker¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 105

14/1

Dual winner last autumn but his issues at the stalls have stopped him fulfilling his full potential, doing well to finish third the Ayr Gold Cup a fortnight ago. One to consider but would need it all to drop right.

Form: 304233

(2)

Russet Gold¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: R Varian| OR: 103

16/1

Found improvement when close second of 7 in listed race at Newmarket on penultimate outing but didn't fully back it up at Newbury last time. Others make more appeal.

Form: 370424

(5)

Wiltshire⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Cieren Fallon| T: W J Haggas| OR: 105| D

13/2

Lightly raced 4-y-o who has picked up two handicap wins through a progressive campaign and shaped well in testing conditions at Haydock a week ago. Has the form to take this step up in class in his stride.

Form: 01-1012

(7)

Jarraaf⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Saffie Osborne| T: Owen Burrows| OR: 104| CD

5/2

Highly progressive colt who arrives in search of a C&D hat-trick after powering home to land another handicap here 56 days ago. Has undoubtedly been saved for this and holds excellent claims.

Form: 1-3411

(8)

Purosangue²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding| OR: 105| D

10/1

Smart colt. Good neck second of 8 to Quinault in listed race (9/2) at York (6f, soft) 27 days ago, clear of rest. Form has been hit and miss this season but he's capable of getting involved if in the same mood as last time.

Form: 359202

(4)

Vadream²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: D Egan| T: C Fellowes| OR: 107| CD

7/1

Smart mare who bounced back to her best when 1½ lengths fourth of 16 to Montassib in Sprint Cup (50/1) at Haydock before a sub-par showing in the Flying Five at the Curragh. Can compete if on her game.

Form: 057340

(9)

Adaay In Devon¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Jason Hart| T: B R Millman| OR: 103| BF| D

16/1

Smart filly who bagged her third win this year in listed race at Sandown in June. Has mostly held form since but there are others with a bit more class in this field.

Form: 312426

Forecasts

Jarraaf (5/2), English Oak (4/1), Wiltshire (13/2), Vadream (7/1), Apollo One (17/2), Purosangue (10/1), Korker (14/1), Russet Gold (16/1), Adaay In Devon (16/1)

JARRAAF is on a steep upward curve and clearly has a liking for this track, so he's the one to side with in a tightly-knit contest. Wiltshire faces a quick turnaround but is an obvious player on the back of a solid showing at Haydock, while the reliable Apollo One is one to respect.
