6/4
Early foal who fetched £380,000 at the breeze-ups and he landed the odds without too much fuss starting out at Bath. Excellent fifth of 13 in Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot since, moving sweetly for a long way and leaving the impression he can progress again. The one to beat.

10/1
Justified favouritism in 13-runner maiden (4/1) at Thirsk (5f, soft) on debut. Not seen to best effect in Woodcote at Epsom and gave a good account back at 5f when tenth of 27 in Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot. Not taken lightly with Buick booked.

66/1
Land Force colt. Half-brother to several winners, including smart winner up to 6.5f King's Lynn. Knew his job to win 10-runner maiden at Lingfield (5f, good) on debut and similar form when third under a penalty at Redcar. Plenty to find at this level.

5/2
Confirmed debut promise when narrow winner of a warm Newmarket novice in May. Bit underwhelming when mid-field in the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot since but he's better than that.

Territories colt who won a weak renewal of the Brocklesby at Doncaster (heavy). Much better form when third in listed event over C&D 2 months later but outclassed in Coventry at Royal Ascot since. Others stronger.

5/2
Winner 2 of her 4 starts, namely Newmarket maiden (5f) on debut and 6f Carlisle novice. Very good 2¼ lengths fourth of 12 in listed race on the July Course (6f, good to firm, 7/1) 6 days ago despite a slow start and she's a player.

14:30 Sandown - 5 July 2024 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

The obvious one is AESTERIUS, who shaped well when beaten 1¼ lengths in the Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot 2 weeks ago. The Actor, who is better than he was able to show in the Coventry, is next best, ahead of It Ain't Two.
