Graphite^t⁴⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Ray Dawson⁽³⁾| T: T Kent| OR: 90

33/1

Smart miler in France for Andre Fabre in 2019. Missed last year and not close to that level in 3 runs for current stable, albeit bit better when fourth over this trip on Rowley Course in May.

Form: 522/084

Koeman¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-12| J: J F Egan| T: M R Channon| OR: 88| D

66/1

Now 7 lb lower than when scoring on AW at Wolverhampton in December but it's hard to be encouraging by his efforts on turf in recent months, not helping his cause with slow starts.

Form: 5-44089

(5)

Amir Kabir¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: W Buick| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 85| C

7/2

Suited by the step up to this trip when shaping well in close third (Duke of Condicote second at Newbury last month. Likely to go well again.

Form: 45-3733

Duke Of Condicote^b1¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: M Harley| T: A King| OR: 81| D

11/1

Back on track when runner-up in cheekpieces last twice, finishing narrowly in front of Amir Kabir at Newbury latterly. Rather outbattled there so more severe headgear now (blinkers) may help.

Form: 252-022

Parachute²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Tom Marquand| T: E Walker| OR: 91| D

7/5

Successful in a small field on the Rowley Course in May. Stepped up on that when third of 17 in very competitive King George Handicap at Royal Ascot. Could be more to come. Leading claims.

Form: 821-313

(12)

Pied Piper^p²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: L Dettori| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 90

7/1

Useful sort who was second then third in 1¾m small-field handicaps on first 2 starts this term. Performed as well as could be expected in Queen's Vase latest and more chance back in handicap.

Form: 621-230

(11)

Barenboim²³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: Hollie Doyle| T: M L W Bell| OR: 78WS

10/1

Showed promise when reaching frame twice on AW last year, although he did look wayward when runner-up second occasion. Out of 1¼m winner so possible improver now handicapping up in trip. Had wind op.

Form: 842-

Spirit Mixer¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-0| J: Nicola Currie| T: A M Balding| OR: 72| CD

5/1

Gained reward for some consistent efforts this term when taking a C&D handicap last month, but more will be needed if he's to follow up off effectively 8 lb higher in this higher grade.

Form: 6-43321

Forecasts

Parachute (7/5), Amir Kabir (7/2), Spirit Mixer (5/1), Pied Piper (7/1), Barenboim (10/1), Duke Of Condicote (11/1), Gold Souk (14/1), Oz Legend (14/1), Love Is Golden (14/1), Autonomy (16/1), Graphite (33/1), Koeman (66/1)

PARACHUTE ran a blinder when third in the very strong King George Handicap at Royal Ascot and could prove the answer to this finale. Fellow 3-y-o Oz Legend may have more to come now stepping up in trip and is respected along with recent Newbury third/second Amir Kabir and Duke of Condicote.
