Botanical^t²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Billy Loughnane| T: G Boughey| OR: 110| D

5/1

Smart gelding. Below form 4¼ lengths third of 9 to Dancing Gemini in listed race at Doncaster (8f, good, 5/2) 23 days ago, doing too much too soon. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 1/1022-3

Checkandchallenge²³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Callum Shepherd| T: W J Knight| OR: 109| D

12/1

Smart gelding. Respectable 3¾ lengths second of 9 to Dancing Gemini in listed race (14/1) at Doncaster (8f, good) 23 days ago. Back up in trip. Makes polytrack debut. Others more persuasive.

Form: 53265-2

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 105

12/1

Thrice-raced winner. 25/1, 2 lengths fourth of 8 to Skellet in listed race at Sandown (8f, good). Off 7 months. Up in trip. Hood on 1st time. Plenty to find on form.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 105

33/1

Form: 16232/

(7)

Lion's Pride²²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: K Shoemark| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 108| C

13/2

Smart gelding. 7/2, respectable 4¾ lengths second of 7 to Kalpana in September Stakes at this course (12f). Off 7 months. Can give a good account.

Form: 31/3352-

(2)

Military Order³⁷⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby| OR: 111| D

11/2

Smart gelding. One win from 2 runs last year. 17¼ lengths last of 7 to Zarakem in Prix d'Harcourt at Longchamp (9.9f, heavy, 3/1). Off 12 months but yard in good form so can make presence felt.

Form: 105/217-

(4)

Okeechobee³⁶⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Oisin Murphy| T: Harry Charlton| OR: 113| C| D

13/8

Promising type. Career best when winning 7-runner Gordon Richards Stakes (10/3) at Sandown (10f, good to soft) by head from Desert Hero, just holding on. Off 12 months but he has to be taken seriously.

Form: 2111/21-

(1)

Teumessias Fox²³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Callum Hutchinson| T: A M Balding| OR: 105| C| D

17/2

Smart gelding. Career best when winning 14-runner handicap at this course (11f, 4/1) 23 days ago, suited by strong pace. In the mix once more.

Form: 84050-1

Forecasts

Okeechobee (13/8), Botanical (5/1), Military Order (11/2), Lion's Pride (13/2), Teumessias Fox (17/2), Crown Board (12/1), Checkandchallenge (12/1), Exoplanet (33/1)

Harry Charlton's OKEECHOBEE looked firmly on the up when landing Sandown's Gordon Richards Stakes when last seen out and this low-mileage 6-y-o can return in style at the chief expense of Military Order who also has an absence to overcome. Lion's Pride and Teumessias Fox both need factoring into this cracking listed event too.
