Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: J P Spencer| T: D O'Meara| OR: 105| CD

9/4

Placed in Group company on AW last year and won a similar event to this here over C&D in May. Unable to land a blow in either the Wokingham or the Group 3 Chipchase at Newcastle since, but should be much more competitive again here.

7/4

Dual C&D winner, including in a similar race last year. Added another at Kempton in January and was just a neck behind Intisaab here in May. Meets him on the same terms. Another decent effort in Listed company last time and not ruled out.

Form: 23-1823

Upstaging^p¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: L Morris| T: P & O Cole| OR: 98| D

6/1

Well below par on his reappearance when beating just three home in the Wokingham last month. Had previously been competitive in open handicaps, so no reason why he can't be in a conditions event, though ground may be quicker than ideal for him.

11/4

Won the Group 3 Oh So Sharp Stakes at Newmarket in 2016 (7f, good to firm). Below that early peak in all six starts since and needs to be a lot better than when well held in a Newbury handicap over this trip last time.

Forecasts

Mythmaker (7/4), Intisaab (9/4), Poet's Vanity (11/4), Upstaging (6/1), Mobsta (10/1), Equimou (12/1)

With no significant rain forecast conditions are against Mobsta here, while fast ground also does not look ideal for Upstaging. It should therefore pay to concentrate on the top two on the racecard. MYTHMAKER has a neck to find with Intisaab on their running here in May, but Bryan Smart's gelding has probably held his form that bit better of the pair since then and he is taken to turn the tables.
