D'bai^b,t³³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby| OR: 110| D

7/2

Consistent sort who took advantage of drop in grade when landing small-field conditions' event at Haydock (7f) 2 starts ago. Not disgraced in the Lennox over C&D since and he's a player.

Form: 3/1-6216

Escobar^t⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 109| D

5/1

Won the 1m handicap on Ascot Champions' Day in 2019 and back to that level when third in Lennox over C&D on his penultimate start. Latest effort in York Grp 2 underwhelming but not one to write off.

Form: 31-0037

Happy Power²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: S De Sousa| T: A M Balding| OR: 110| D

9/4

Smart performer who has been in decent form since the resumption, back on the scoreboard at Salisbury (7f) 3 weeks ago. Versatile as regards ground and one to consider on the back of that.

Form: 56-3241

Snazzy Jazzy⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox| OR: 108| C

3/1

Winner of Ayr Silver Cup/Group 3 at Maisons-Laffitte in 2018. Raced only 3 times last term but enhanced strike rate in Salisbury listed race and has returned in fine form with 3 solid Haydock runs.

Form: 319-423

Toro Strike³²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Oisin Murphy| T: R A Fahey| OR: 101| CD

6/1

Has improved his form nicely since winning 6f Thirsk maiden last year, building on his fifth in the Britannia at Ascot when taking big field C&D handicap in July. Not dismissed given his profile.

Form: 1233-51

Forecasts

Happy Power (9/4), Snazzy Jazzy (3/1), D'bai (7/2), Escobar (5/1), Cloak Of Spirits (5/1), Toro Strike (6/1), Sunday Star (12/1)

This could well become a tactical affair and a number are closely matched, yet D'BAI had a couple in opposition behind him when scoring at Haydock on his penultimate start and shades the vote. Escobar and Happy Power head up the dangers.
