Matters Most⁶⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett| OR: 85

5/2

Fetched 500,000 gns as a yearling and stepped up from his debut run when comfortably off the mark in a Salisbury novice (5f) in May. Shaped as if still in good form when mid-field in listed race at Sandown later that month, so he's respected now handicapping.

Form: 315

(5)

Politico¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Oisin Murphy| T: C Johnston| OR: 83| D

13/2

Improved from debut when making all at Chester (6f) in May, before well held in the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot. Not discredited when fifth of 9 at Haydock on his nursery bow 16 days ago, though has work to do to reverse form with Je Ne Sais Quoi.

Form: 3105

(2)

Flag Of St George³⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Marco Ghiani| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 81| D

10/3

Still in need of the experience when making his second start a winning one in minor event at Newmarket (6f) in May. 66/1, Stiff task when down the field in Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot, but could fare better as he makes his handicap debut now.

Form: 410

Notta Nother¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: W Buick| T: R Hannon| OR: 79

8/1

Continued his progress when opening his account in a Goodwood maiden (5f) in June, leading dying strides. Well below form on nursery debut at Haydock (6f) last time, but this trip should suit and he could bounce back given his previous promise.

Form: 6218

(4)

Je Ne Sais Quoi¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 79| D

9/4

Confirmed debut promise when landing the odds in maiden at Thirsk (6f), before losing a shoe at Chester next time. Switched to a nursery, quickly back on track when runner-up at Haydock 16 days ago from a few of these and can build on that to resume winning ways now.

Form: 3152

(3)

Mullins Beach¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-5| J: Saffie Osborne| T: B R Millman| OR: 67

28/1

Displayed plenty of zip when headed close home at Leicester (5f) in May on his third start. Ran to similar level when third at Chepstow 3 days later, but needs to leave his latest effort behind having finished well beaten at Haydock 16 days ago.

Form: 35239

Forecasts

Je Ne Sais Quoi (9/4), Matters Most (5/2), Flag Of St George (10/3), Politico (13/2), Notta Nother (8/1), Mullins Beach (28/1)

JE NE SAIS QUOI soon got back on track when runner-up at Haydock on her nursery debut last time, travelling best, so she is taken to go one better. Expensive-purchase Matters Most isn't taken lightly as he makes his handicap bow, while Flag of St George could fare better after facing a stiff task at Royal Ascot.
