Equilateral⁴⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-1| J: K Shoemark| T: C Hills| OR: 107| CD

11/4

Has proved he retains a lot of ability after a long absence, 1¾ lengths third in Sapphire Stakes at the Curragh in July on latest start. Excuses at Goodwood since and high on shortlist back down in class.

Form: 14-5638

King Of Stars^p¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 102| D

17/2

Four-time winner last year. Yet to score this term but still arrives at the top of his game, third in listed event at Beverley 11 days ago. Should be in the mix again, though probably wouldn't want too much rain.

Manaccan^t¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-0| J: R L Moore| T: J Ryan| OR: 106| D

13/8

Likeable colt who took another step forward when winning a 5f Ascot handicap last month. Close third in listed race at Newmarket (6f) 11 days ago and return to 5f will suit. Big player.

Form: 4-75213

Guilded^p²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 95| D

25/1

Useful filly who reacted positively to cheekpieces when landing 5f Ayr listed contest (good to soft) in June. However, below that form both starts since and opposable under a penalty.

Form: 827109

(4)

Mo Celita¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: L Dettori| T: Adrian Nicholls| OR: 94| D

9/1

Big success story last year, progressing from sellers to French listed success. Well beaten in 2 comeback runs in the spring but showed a lot more back from a break when sixth in listed event at Newmarket 11 days ago. Not taken lightly.

Form: 443-786

(8)

Attagirl²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: D Tudhope| T: K R Burke| OR: 90| D

20/1

Useful sprinter who won twice as a 2-y-o, including listed event at York. However, yet to fire this year and up against it in this company even if back to her best.

Form: 16-9767

(5)

Lovely Mana³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: W Buick| T: G Boughey| OR: 93| D

22/1

Improving filly who notched a couple of smooth 5f successes at Newcastle and Sandown in the summer. Ran creditably up 8 lb when 1¾ lengths fourth of 20 at Ascot. Excuses both starts since and worth another try at this level.

Form: 311467

Union Court²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-2| J: Saffie Osborne| T: E Walker| OR: 94| D

9/2

Impressive winner of her first two starts and better form in defeat when second to The Platinum Queen at Goodwood (5f, good to firm) and runner-up in listed event at Newbury last 2 starts. Taking on her elders now but receives plenty of weight.

Form: 119522

Forecasts

Manaccan (13/8), Equilateral (11/4), Union Court (9/2), King Of Stars (17/2), Mo Celita (9/1), Attagirl (20/1), Can To Can (20/1), Lovely Mana (22/1), Guilded (25/1)

EQUILATERAL has shown he's still capable of smart form this season, including when fifth of 16 in the King's Stand at Royal Ascot, and this looks a good opportunity for him to get back to winning ways dropped in class. Improving 3-y-o Manaccan is the obvious threat, while any rain would boost the claims of Mo Celita.
