Three Saints Bay²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 92| CD

11/2

Yet to show his best in three runs in 2020 but set too strong a pace last time and prior to that was on AW where he isn't as effective. Interesting now returning to a venue he has won at before with mark dropping.

Form: 163-687

Gabrial The Wire¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey| OR: 92| D

3/1

Three wins in 2019 and returned at peak of his powers this term with an excellent fifth at Royal Ascot last time faring best of those drawn low. This return to 7f will help and looks sure to play a prominent part.

Form: 0891-35

Asdaa¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 89| D

7/2

Dual AW winner in the winter at 7f and found the step up to 1m beyond him on latest. The return to this shorter trip is a plus and relatively raced lightly raced on turf so possibly more to come.

Muntadab¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: B A Curtis| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 87| CD

15/8

Without a win since 2018 but took advantage of a falling mark when second at Doncaster last time to a stable companion. Has won here before and any rain that falls will be in his favour.

Form: 879-932

Rux Ruxx^p²⁷⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: S De Sousa| T: T D Easterby| OR: 83| CD

11/1

Ultra consistent last year with four wins all at this trip before finding 1m beyond him when last seen. This a step up in grade so needs to come back at the peak of his powers.

Tadaawol^p²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 8-3| J: Paula Muir⁽³⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 74| D

20/1

Said to be suffering from an irregular heartbeat when well behind on comeback run. 6lb below his last win a year ago but this is a hot contest and stable appear to hold better claims with Muntadab.

Form: 64034-0

Forecasts

Muntadab (15/8), Gabrial The Wire (3/1), Asdaa (7/2), Three Saints Bay (11/2), Rux Ruxx (11/1), Tadaawol (20/1)

There should plenty of pace on with both Three Saints Bay and Muntadab likely to go from the front and this could set up nicely for the 7f specialist GABRIAL THE WIRE who did as well as could have been expected at Ascot from the low draw over a trip short of his best.
