Emily Goldfinch^p¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-13| J: S De Sousa| T: P S McEntee| OR: 91| CD

15/8

C&D winner here two starts back and won his breakaway group of three when second here subsequently. Thriving mare is sure to make another bold bid under the champion jockey.

Form: 361612

Miracle of Medinah²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-12| J: F Sweeney| T: M D I Usher| OR: 90| D

8/1

Former Group 3 winner who showed some signs of form when a staying on second of nine at Newbury (6f, good) in May and was better than bare form when fourth at Sandown since after a slow start. Each-way prospects here.

Form: 3630-24

Tawny Port^t⁵³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Oisin Murphy| T: S C Williams| OR: 87| D

5/1

Inconsistent sort bounced back to somewhere near his best when winning over this trip at Windsor latest. That form commands respect and any rain would only further boost his chances.

Form: 353-061

Lady Dancealot¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: G Mosse| T: D R C Elsworth| OR: 82| BF| D

11/4

Ended last year with success on the AW at Kempton (6f) but has been regressing since. She was third of seven last at Newbury two back but made little impression here latest so is best avoided at present.

Suzi's Connoisseur^v¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 8-13| J: J F Egan| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 77| CD

5/1

Improved from Haydock effort two starts ago when landing C&D in good style in June. 5lb rise latest saw him finish second again over C&D so everything points to yet another good C&D showing.

Form: 940412

(6)

Colonel Frank³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: J Mitchell| T: M Quinn| OR: 75| D

8/1

Shown precious little since winning a small field Yarmouth contest latest and his 12th of 13 latest further evidence to recommend erasing him from the shortlist.

Form: 0V0-850

Forecasts

Emily Goldfinch (15/8), Lady Dancealot (11/4), Qutob (9/2), Suzi's Connoisseur (5/1), Tawny Port (5/1), Private Matter (13/2), Colonel Frank (8/1), Miracle of Medinah (8/1)

Charlie Hills' improver QUTOB remains one to stay on the right side of as he bids for a hat-trick and a drop to 6f shouldn't pose him any major issues. Thoroughly likable mare Emily Goldfinch is in tip-top form and loves it here so has to be respected. Another who can never be ruled out here is Suzi's Connoisseur and he too enters the equation.
