Selected odds by:
Most progressive as a 3-y-o but lightly raced since and seemed to turn it in when well held in the Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot. Raced closer to pace than ideal in Bunbury Cup over C&D last time and top claimer now takes over, but doubts linger about his attitude.
|
Won twice at Lingfield last August but was soundly beaten in the Ayr Silver Cup on his final 2021 start and it was a similar story in the Stewards Cup at Goodwood on his reappearance last week.
|
Has just 2 wins to his name but putting together an excellent CV in the good-quality handicaps, runner-up in the Buckingham Palace before filling same spot in Bunbury Cup over C&D. Not disgraced in International Stakes at Ascot latest and seems sure to remain competitive at the very least.
|
C&D winner from 1 lb higher in 2021 but has yet to fire this season, well held in International Stakes at Ascot latest. Blinkers on for 1st time.
|
Beat a subsequent winner at Nottingham in June and has performed respectably since, not seen to best when sixth at Goodwood (6f) last week, finishing with running left. Must enter calculations.
|
Landed a Nottingham novice in June last year and showed improved form to follow up on handicap debut over C&D 14 months later. Quick turnaround is a slight niggle after such a long absence the time before but further progress can't be ruled out.

Forecasts
Love De Vega (2/1), Al Rufaa (10/3), Ropey Guest (7/2), Star Of Orion (5/1), Mitrosonfire (13/2), Typhoon Ten (22/1)
The quick turnaround is a slight niggle for LOVE DE VEGA, but the fact of the matter is she's easily the most interesting runner in the line up being the sole 3-y-o with the scope for further improvement, so is taken to go in again and defy a 6 lb rise. Mitrosonfire and the likeable Ropey Guest head the opposition.
