Selected odds by:

(8)

Raymond Tusk¹¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: M Harley| T: A King| OR: 105| D

14/1

Useful sort who looked right back at the top of his game when second in a Royal Ascot handicap 114 days ago. Slight concern that he's been off since, but still one to consider from a handy mark.

Form: 7-62322

(7)

Halimi²²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: James Doyle| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 101| D

20/1

Useful gelding who was back to form when third in the Dubai Millennium Stakes at Meydan 7 months ago. Hard to know what sort of form he'll return in, though, and this is competitive.

Form: 137-473

(2)

Louganini⁹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Hollie Doyle| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 100| D

9/4

Left return effort in his wake when landing Ascot handicap (12f, soft) in May, then found the Silver Cup at York too competitive 3 months. This is a welcome return to calmer waters.

Form: 132-510

(4)

Favorite Moon^t²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 99| D

11/2

Largely progressive at 3 and took it up another notch to win a valuable Australian handicap in March. Firmly back on track at Newbury last time and fresher than most at this time of the season.

Form: 18-1005

(10)

Graphite^t⁶⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: Ray Dawson| T: T Kent| OR: 96| D

28/1

Smart miler in France for Andre Fabre in 2019. Produced best effort for current yard when scoring at Ascot (suited by run of race) 2 months ago, but he's not an obvious type to go in again.

Form: 2/08421

(11)

Big Team³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 95| D

20/1

Unexposed 4yo who relished the longer trip when landing a handicap at Wolverhampton last month. That form isn't proving strong, but he's open to further improvement on turf debut.

Form: 1-601

(6)

C'Est No Mour^h¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-1| J: P J Dobbs| T: S Hodgson| OR: 94| C| D

66/1

Has already scored twice this season (including at this track) but the handicapper, consequently, has his measure. Looks vulnerable again.

Form: 137144

(3)

Strawberry Rock^p³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: P Cosgrave| T: H Palmer| OR: 93| BF| D

10/1

Likeable filly who as resumed progress this term, winning at Windsor (11.5f) on return and matching that level on both subsequent starts. Another bold showing seems likely.

Form: 150-122

(12)

HMS President^b1³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: W Buick| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 92

15/2

Back to winning ways at Windsor (10f) in May and has held his form well in defeat since, good second at Doncaster a month ago. Should give another good account in first-time blinkers.

Form: 532272

(1)

Champagne Piaff¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: H Crouch| T: G & J Moore| OR: 95

3/1

Highly progressive gelding who was well on top at the finish when doubling his tally for the season at Epsom a fortnight ago. More to come, so leading claims.

Form: 18-6131

(9)

Torcello¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 8-9| J: S De Sousa| T: S Lycett| OR: 88| D

28/1

Back to form when taking advantage of reduced mark at Newmarket in May, albeit allowed an easy lead. Both subsequent Flat outings have been underwhelming, though.

Form: 0-06105

(5)

Lawn Ranger¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 8-7| J: William Carson| T: M J Attwater| OR: 85| C

33/1

Capitalised on reduced mark to land 3-runner Windsor handicap in August and put a poor run behind him when second at Chester 15 days ago. Others look better treated, however.

Form: 761392

Forecasts

Louganini (9/4), Champagne Piaff (3/1), Favorite Moon (11/2), HMS President (15/2), Strawberry Rock (10/1), Raymond Tusk (14/1), Halimi (20/1), Big Team (20/1), Torcello (28/1), Graphite (28/1), Lawn Ranger (33/1), C'Est No Mour (66/1)

CHAMPAGNE PIAFF arrives on a steep upward curve and had something in hand when successful at Epsom last time, so he's fancied to gain his third success of the campaign. The in-form Strawberry Rock is an obvious threat and Favorite Moon is one to bear in mind having returned to form at Newbury last time.
