N/A
Age: 7
Weight: 9-5

Days: 18

He has been running well enough in group company without really troubling genuine group horses.. he was a good third in the Temple Stakes behind King’s Lynn and Twilight Calls, which puts him in the mix here.

He was down the field at Royal Ascot but that’s best ignored. He has some of the best form on offer, but he’s largely inconsistent.

He has risks attached but he has ran well here before.

Excellent 5th in the King’s Stand last time out when off the back of over a year off. He travelled kindly and he was arguably unlucky not to finish closer, he was hampered inside the final furlong but he’d have been no match for the deeply impressive Nature Strip.

That run is probably the best line of form on offer here and he is a class act.

Raasel is clearly still improving, and he’s racked up a fair few wins recently. He beat Dragon Symbol last time out in a listed race at Haydock and he was well on top at the finish.

Now in group company, he will need to continue on his upward curve, but that’s entirely possible judged on his last string of runs.

Goes from the front, recently Method has done his running over 6f, and he’s been collared in the final furlong the last twice.

This drop back in trip could prove key, this course should suit his style, but he does have to improve to keep them all at bay. Risky, but wouldn’t be a total shock.

Existent

J: Marco Ghiani
T: Stuart Williams
N/A
Age: 4
Weight: 9-5
OR: 106
Days: 18

Busy horse. Existent has ran 7 times since the turn of the year and he’s managed to get his head in-front twice, on the all-weather.

His turf form needs to be improved, but he’s a horse with a potent change of gear. He’s probably up against it, but he’s hard to rule out entirely.

Days: 15

3y/o filly, she ran really well in a competitive handicap at Royal Ascot. Prior to that she was second in a handicap at Chester.

She is running with credit, but she’s at a different level now and she’ll need to raise her game considerably to get involved in the finish.

OR: 98
Days: 15

3y/o filly. She won a listed race at Chelmsford in April, but she’s failed to win again since. Her best form looks as if it’s on the all-weather, and her turf form leaves a lot to be desired.

She looks outclassed here and she has a point to prove with regards the surface too. Unlikely

3y/o colt, who won well over C&D last time out. Prior to that he had won a C2 Conditions Race at Hamilton in good style.

He took his form to a new level last time out when winning the listed Scurry Stakes here, and he travelled with ease and quickened up well and put the race to bed in a matter of strides. Unexposed and on the up, dangerous to discount.
