Selected odds by:
Very useful handicapper gaining his first win since the 2020 John Smith's Cup in 1m handicap at Sandown 27 days ago. Gone well here before and holds solid claims under a mere 3 lb penalty.
|
Reliable performer who scored at York in May. Turned in rare poor effort behind Saleymm there 21 days ago but he was an excellent third in this contest 12 months ago.
|
Winner of Group 3 Solario at Sandown in 2019 but off the track since below-par fourth in Celebration Mile over C&D 23 months ago. This is no easy ask on his comeback/handicap debut.
|
Course winner who has been in largely good form this term, left with a fair bit to do on stand side when thirteenth in International at Ascot (7f) 6 days ago. Runner-up in this 12 months ago off same mark and likely to be in the mix again.
|
Got right back on track as he got off the mark for the season in 7f handicap at York 21 days ago, beating several of these rivals. Still quite lightly raced and not dismissed under a 3 lb penalty.
|
Maintained his 100% record on his handicap debut at Newcastle (1m) 36 days ago, merely pushed clear last 1f. Has more to offer up 6 lb but lacks experience for a race like this and drawn out wide.
|
It's now thirteen runs since his last win in 2021 but he arrives in good nick, fifth of 10 to Eilean Dubh in 1m handicap at York 20 days ago. Not ruled out off the same mark.
|
Picked up where he left off in 2021 with victory in 1m Sandown handicap in May, showing a good attitude under this pilot. This course winner could have more to offer after a break. Considered.
|
Lightly raced 4-y-o who returned from 8 months off/gelded with ready win in 1m handicap at Newmarket 22 days ago. Still looks ahead of his mark under a 3 lb penalty and has a low draw too. This half-brother to the top-class miler Barney Roy is a big player.
|
Signed off for 2021 with success in 1m handicap at Ayr and he arrives on back of very good second of 15 in 8.5f handicap at Epsom 56 days ago. Not ruled out nudged up just 1 lb.
|
Winless since 2020 but he's made a good start for his current yard, third of 11 to Sinjaari in 1m handicap at Sandown 27 days ago. Can make his presence felt off an unchanged mark.
|
Made a successful start for this yard at Kempton in March and resumed winning ways in first-time tongue strap in 7f handicap here 54 days ago. Up 5 lb but can't be discounted with few miles still on the clock.
|
Useful ex-Irish 1m winner who has run at least as well as ever in a refitted visor when runner-up in 1m York handicaps on his last two starts. Expected to feature again off a 3 lb lower mark and from a low draw.
|
Back to very best when coming out on top at Hamilton and he backed it up off 5 lb higher mark in 1m Newmarket handicap 13 days ago. Possibilities under a 3 lb penalty.
|
Resumed with 1m win at Nottingham but he's failed to beat a rival in both runs since, much too free when last of 5 in 1m handicap at Newmarket 11 days ago. Needs to bounce back.
|
It's now 24 runs since his sole win in 2020 but he comes here in decent nick, eighth of 21 in International at Ascot (7f) 6 days ago. Sixth in 2021 renewal so he's no forlorn hope from his low draw.
|
Improving New Bay colt who stepped up on his excellent third in Britannia at Royal Ascot with stylish win in 1m Newmarket handicap 20 days ago. Has to be of interest again under a 3 lb penalty despite his very high draw.
|
Dual C&D scorer in the spring who has continued in very good nick, fourth to Jimi Hendrix in 1m handicap at Newmarket 20 days ago. In the picture from low draw.

A fiercely competitive Golden Mile. NOBLE DYNASTY returned a much improved model after being gelded when a ready scorer at Newmarket and this half-brother to the top-class miler Barney Roy, who fetched the princely sum of 3 600 000 guineas as a yearling, can follow up under a penalty from his handy low draw. A wide berth has proved hard to overcome in recent runnings so upwardly-mobile duo Blue For You and Eilean Dubh are taken to chase home Charlie Appleby's 4-y-o from their inside stalls.
- Blue For You15/2
- Eilean Dubh14/1
