First Folio⁴⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Mr Taylor Fisher⁽⁷⁾| T: J Ferguson| OR: 97| CD

13/8

C&D winner. Below par in the Stewards' Cup last time but had shaped quite well when sixth of 26 in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot prior to that. One to consider with a useful claimer taking 7 lb off.

Form: 44-5260

(7)

Soar Above²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: N Callan| T: J Butler| OR: 91| D

18/1

In good form on AW earlier in the year but hasn't been able to translate that over to the grass on his last 2 starts. Others arrive with more compelling claims.

Form: 521200

(6)

Fai Fai^v1⁹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Rossa Ryan| T: C Fellowes| OR: 88| D

33/1

Fair 6f winner in France for Andre Fabre as a juvenile. 66/1, last of 27 in Palace of Holyroodhouse handicap at Royal Ascot on his reappearance/stable debut in June. Visored now. Hard to assess.

Form: 1537-0

(1)

Capote's Dream^v¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: J Mitchell| T: T Ward| OR: 86| D

16/1

Five wins from 18 Flat runs. 12/1, fifth of 11 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good) 19 days ago, nearest finish. Well handicapped on his best form.

Form: 14-9085

(3)

Hellomydarlin²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: David Probert| T: G Boughey| OR: 85| D

16/1

Useful filly who was a good ½-length third to Guilded in 5f Ayr listed event in June. but she's been well below that level on all 3 outings since. Well treated on peak form but hard to support with confidence.

Form: 063470

(9)

Sir Oliver²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: George Bass⁽³⁾| T: C A Dwyer| OR: 82| C| D

12/1

Took his strike-rate to a healthy 8-31 when landing a small-field 7f course handicap (good to firm) 25 days ago. This looks a deeper race so a 4 lb rise demands more of him.

Form: 217581

(10)

Spirited Guest¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: J F Egan| T: G G Margarson| OR: 81| CD

17/2

C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2021. 40/1, creditable fifth of 9 in handicap at Ascot (6f, good) 12 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 362985

(8)

Aristobulus^h⁷⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: J P Spencer| T: M Murphy & M Keady| OR: 82| BF| D

16/1

Dual scorer at 2 who performed with credit in defeat at the start of the summer. Sold out of James Ferguson's yard for 45,000 gns in July. Spencer not a regular booking for the stable. Interesting runner.

Form: 103-245

(5)

Aphelios^p¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Cieren Fallon| T: M Appleby| OR: 81| D

15/8

Could be another shrewd purchase by connections, winning at Carlisle (6f) in August and showing even better form when narrowly denied at York (6f again) 11 days ago. Races off the same mark here. Should go well.

Form: 212212

Pocket The Profit⁷⁷

Weight: 9-1| Age: 3

T: G Boughey J: R L Moore

Forecasts

First Folio (13/8), Aphelios (15/8), Pocket The Profit (11/2), Spirited Guest (17/2), Sir Oliver (12/1), Capote's Dream (16/1), Aristobulus (16/1), Hellomydarlin (16/1), Soar Above (18/1), Fai Fai (33/1)

APHELIOS ran a cracker in a well-contested 3-y-o only handicap at York recently and looks sure to make a bold bid if showing up here in anything like the same form. Taylor Fisher takes a handy 7 lb off the back of First Folio and he's feared most ahead of his former stablemate Aristobulus.
