13/8

Presumably not the easiest to train but he did fare better than he had at Kempton in January when fourth of 10 in handicap at Newmarket (14f) in May. Brushed aside in the Ascot Stakes upped to 20f last time and while this is easier, others are still more persuasive.

Form: 4/47-740

Wild Waves^h²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: James Doyle| T: A M Balding| OR: 99

13/8

Won first 2 handicap starts last season and later a strong-finishing fourth in the Melrose at York (13.8f). Gelded over the winter and not kicked on so far this term, albeit latest third of 9 in the Queen Alexandra Stakes at Ascot was a fair effort.

Form: 46-0843

Scottish Anthem^t¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-4| J: Saffie Osborne| T: Michael Keady| OR: 86

7/1

Irresolute performer who didn't kick on from a promising start for Simon & Ed Crisford but did at least show some aptitude for hurdling this year. Failed to get home over 21.7f when set a tough task in the Queen Alexandra and this a more suitable assignment.

Form: 34654-5

9/2

Won twice over hurdles for Gary Brown and even better form when second in 19.5f Punchestown handicap for her new yard. Well ridden in a tactical race when landing 4-runner handicap at Newbury 3 weeks ago. Just out of the weights in a better race but he's in good nick.

Form: 404-P41

Forecasts

Artistic Star (13/8), Wild Waves (13/8), Kyle Of Lochalsh (7/2), Almuhit (9/2), Contacto (9/2), Wonder Legend (11/2), Scottish Anthem (7/1), Tides Of War (16/1)

KYLE OF LOCHALSH is a likeable stayer who was third in this race from the same mark a year ago, so he could be the answer arriving here fresh. Several of these ran at Royal Ascot last time and can do better in slightly calmer waters, notably Wild Waves and Wonder Legend.
