Path Of Thunder¹⁰⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: David Probert| T: C Appleby| OR: 103| D

13/2

Kickstarted 2022 with 1m win at Meydan and remained in form there. Never figured in Victoria Cup but got back on track when fourth at York (7f) 2 weeks later. Run best excused in Buckingham Palace Stake at Royal Ascot last time and can't be ruled out back from a break.

Noble Dynasty⁵⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby| OR: 102| BF| D

10/3

Lightly raced 4-y-o who returned from 8 months off/gelded with ready win in 1m handicap on the July Course. Proved to be a disappointment under a penalty in Golden Mile at Goodwood but may bounce back following a break.

Form: 2157-10

Hurricane Ivor⁴⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 101

33/1

Real improver for current yard in 2021, landing the Portland at Doncaster and a Newbury Group 3, but he's struggled badly this season and it remains to be seen whether this step up in trip helps.

Form: 18-0998

Tuscan⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: R L Moore| T: C Hills| OR: 99| CD

14/1

Useful sort who wasn't disgraced from a pretty stiff opening mark when last of 4 on the July Course (1m) 49 days ago, unsuited by way race developed. Has work to do.

Form: 6-12044

(1)

The Attorney⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Jim Crowley| T: C Hills| OR: 96| D

7/2

Gained due reward for a string of good efforts with victory in 4-runner handicap at Doncaster (7f) 21 days ago, leading over 1f out and driven out. Only nudged up 2 lb so seems sure to go well again.

Form: 722521

(2)

Alrehb³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: K P De Foy| OR: 91| D

5/1

Won pair of 7f AW handicaps earlier in year. Even better form when narrowly denied in competitive handicaps at Doncaster and Newcastle (both 7f) last month. Must enter calculations.

Form: 120722

(9)

Zainalarab¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: R Varian| OR: 88| BF| D

10/3

Wootton Bassett colt who completed a hat-trick on handicap debut at Sandown (7f) in August, well on top finish. Failed to meet expectations at Doncaster subsequently but wasn't helped by another tardy start. Worth another chance given previous promise.

Form: 61115

(8)

Sound Of Iona⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 8-7| J: Amie Waugh⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 82

22/1

Has thrived on her racing in the face of an intensive campaign, adding to tally when making all at Ascot earlier in the month and better than the result at Doncaster 2 starts later. Faced a stiff task in Ayr listed race last week but return to handicap company a plus.

Forecasts

Noble Dynasty (10/3), Zainalarab (10/3), The Attorney (7/2), Alrehb (5/1), Path Of Thunder (13/2), Light And Dark (8/1), Tuscan (14/1), Oo De Lally (16/1), Sound Of Iona (22/1), Hurricane Ivor (33/1)

THE ATTORNEY is proving most reliable and a 2 lb rise for Doncaster may not be enough to prevent the follow up. Alrehb must enter calculations having been narrowly denied in competitive handicaps the last twice, while lightly-raced 3-y-o Zainalarab is worth another chance to confirm his Sandown form.
