|
11/1 |
Sheriff's Court
Blue Point 4yo who scored at Saint-Cloud (6.5f, heavy) in sole start for Andre Fabre; ran well under a big weight at Kempton (6f, AW) on the switch to British racing; one of the main form contenders.

200/1 |
Reteti
Picked up third-place prize-money twice in bumpers; hasn't fared so well in two starts (1m) under this code, slowly away both times; plenty to find dropped further in distance.

- Taryn Langley / S Dixon

Six Of Diamonds
Pastoral Pursuits half-brother to 5f AW winner May The Sixth (RPR 65), out of prolific 5f winner (88); makes belated debut aged five with a 7lb claimer on board; best watched.

- Gordon Norse
- Oisin Murphy / Jack Jones

9/2 |
Gordon Norse
Major promise in a couple of 7f AW maidens at Wolverhampton, justifying strong support with an easy win latest; the way he travels suggests this drop in trip won't be a problem; major player under 6lb penalty.

- Rajaking
- Marco Ghiani / S C Williams

|
|
13/2 |
Rajaking
Recorded a 1l success at Chelmsford (6f, AW) in sole 2yo start, leading towards the finish; the form is ordinary and this represents a stiffer assignment but he's open to progress.
|
|

- Topwarrior
- Rossa Ryan / R M Beckett

|
|
13/8 |
Topwarrior
Both starts over 6f on AW, latest at Kempton where he took a significant step forward and reversed placings with a rival who had beaten him by about 6l on debut; this Commonwealth Cup entry should have plenty more to offer; respected.

3/1 |
Lazzar
Gelded prior to his good second at Kempton (6f, AW; backed into favouritism) on seasonal debut, going down by only a neck; may build on that effort; leading contender at the weights returned to turf.

- Man Of Steel
- P Cosgrave / George Baker
|
|
|
50/1 |
Man Of Steel
23,000euros yearling, £47,000 (breeze-up) 2yo; Gutaifan half-brother to three winners, notably Sands Of Mali (6f including Group 1; RPR 121); looks the better of the two newcomers in this field.
|
|
|

- The Sweet Escape
- R Kingscote / D Loughnane

|
|
16/1 |
The Sweet Escape
Half-brother to four winners for his connections; duly showed ability with his fourth-place finish at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) eight weeks ago and looks open to improvement.

- Woburn
- Callum Shepherd / M Murphy

Woburn
Has achieved nothing in two races; easily opposed.

Havana Halo
Half-sister to two low-grade handicap winners (Flat/hurdles) for her connections; may prove better than those siblings, assuming her Newbury promise (fifth in long-established 7f newcomers' event) is built on.

Silver Wraith
Form of Sandown 2yo effort can be marked up (met traffic issues); didn't fare so well at Kempton (10l behind Topwarrior) on reappearance but may improve with that outing under her belt.
