J C International¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: R Fell & S Murray

200/1

Making GB/IRE Flat debut. Sixth of 8 in bumper (125/1) at Southwell (15.8f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Not an obvious sort on first go in this sphere.

Form:

Wonderwall²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-12| J: Cam Hardie| T: R Spencer| C

5/2

Useful jumps winner. Once-raced maiden on Flat. Second of 11 in maiden (9/1) at Pontefract (10f, good to soft) 25 days ago, nearest finish. Worthy of interest in a race that should sufficiently test his stamina.

Form: 2

(4)

Jeff Koons¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: K Shoemark| T: J & T Gosden

11/8

Promising individual. Confirmed debut promise when landing 11-runner minor event (9/2) at Newmarket (8f, good) 15 days ago. Longer trip shouldn't pose a problem, so he's a big player with the scope for further improvement.

Form: 21

(2)

Alshadhian¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Laura Pearson| T: R M Beckett

17/2

Twice-raced maiden. 7/2, fourth of 11 in minor event at Leicester (10f, good) 16 days ago. Should have more to offer, but perhaps in handicaps after another run.

Form: 4-4

(7)

Carlton⁸⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: J P Sullivan| T: Miss Tracy Waggott

50/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 17/2, fifth of 6 in minor event at Nottingham (10.2f, heavy) 85 days ago. First run for yard after leaving John & Thady Gosden. More likely to feature in handicaps.

Form: 425

(3)

Iron Lion²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 78

5/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 3/1, respectable third of 11 in maiden at Pontefract (10f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Can surely win races.

Form: 3233

(6)

Regency Boy^p¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: T E Whelan| T: Steph Hollinshead

100/1

Twice-raced maiden. 66/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, tenth of 11 in minor event at Leicester (10f, good) 16 days ago. Unlikely to feature.

Form: 40

(1)

Anjo Bonita⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Joanna Mason| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 72

5/1

Fair filly. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Ripon (9.8f, good, 9/2) 45 days ago, lost all chance at start. First run for yard after leaving Micky Hammond.

Form: 22-3226

(5)

Lady Saxon²⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: J F Egan| T: R Fell & S Murray

100/1

Once-raced maiden. 33/1, tenth of 11 in minor event at Lingfield (8f, AW) on debut, slowly away. Off 8 months. Up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Andrew Balding. Hard to fancy.

Forecasts

Jeff Koons (11/8), Measured Time (2/1), Wonderwall (5/2), Iron Lion (5/1), Anjo Bonita (5/1), Alshadhian (17/2), Carlton (50/1), Lady Saxon (100/1), Regency Boy (100/1), J C International (200/1)

MEASURED TIME was a warm order prior to making a successful start at Kempton 6 months ago and, with the longer trip in his favour, he's preferred to fellow winner Jeff Koons, who still looked green despite getting up late at Newmarket recently. Iron Lion is another one to consider for all that he lacks the potential of the aforementioned pair.
