Draw 3

HHH Group 2 and 3 winner in Ireland who reacted well to first-time blinkers (retained today) when comfortably taking 1m1f Leopardstrown Listed race (good) 12 days ago; handily drawn; likely to be in the shake-up if the headgear continues to work.

HH Comfortably won a 1m4f Listed race at Meydan in January but he’s found life harder since, including when remote fourth of five in the Brigadier Gerard at Sandown on British return 19 days ago; regular cheekpieces (missing at Sandown) are now back on; tough ask here under a penalty.

Draw 10

HHH Front-runner who benefited from an enterprising ride when taking 1m2f Goodwood Listed race (good to soft; reopposing West End Charmer was second) last month, slipping well clear early on and never looking like being caught; unlikely to be allowed so much rope this time and also has 3lb penalty.

HHH Ran poorly in Group 1 Lockinge at Newbury latest but this former Royal Lodge winner had shown he retains all his ability when proving a neck too strong for Sir Busker in a 1m Listed race here (good to firm) on reappearance in April; new trip this afternoon.

HHH Third in 1m4f Newmarket Group 2 (good to firm) last summer and added to his good Meydan record with a win and two seconds at the start of this year, the win coming over 1m2f; will require a career best under his penalty, though; also drawn wide.

Draw 1

HHH Group 3 winner at York (1m1f, good to soft) in 2020; offered enough to suggest he retains his ability when returning from nearly 18 months off to finish 3l second of four to Solid Stone in Group 2 at Chester (extended 1m2f, good) 39 days ago.

Draw 16

HHHH Successful in 3yo C&D handicap at this meeting last year and added a Group 3 at Haydock in August; good second in Sandown Group 3 (1m2f, good) on reappearance and seemingly failed to stay 1m4f when a slightly below-form fourth in Newbury Group 3 since; drawn widest today but he overcame stall 13 of 14 last year, which shows it can be done; acts on good to firm; player.

Draw 4 HHHH Career best when fourth in 10.5f Group 3 in Saudi Arabia on reappearance in February; well held in 1m1f Group 1 Dubai Turf at Meydan in March but he should be happier back over 1m2f and his Saudi form puts him firmly in the mix; also nicely drawn towards the inner.

HHHHH First outing since wind surgery when winning this on good to firm 12 months ago; respectable 4l last of three in Sandown Group 3 (1m2f, good) on reappearance; Foxes Tales was ahead of him in second on that occasion but no surprise to see this one step up and make a bold bid to defend his crown.

HH Lightly raced 4yo but he’s yet to better useful form, finishing 8l fourth to Majestic Dawn in 1m2f Goodwood Listed race (good to soft; West End Charmer second) 24 days ago; first-time cheekpieces will need to spark a good chunk of improvement; Atzeni on Juan Elcano.

H Enhanced good strike-rate in handicaps when defying top weight at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) in January; however, his limitations have been well exposed at Listed/Group level, including remote fifth of sixth in Coronation Cup at Epsom (1m4f) 11 days ago; down the field in this last year; up against it.

HHH Landed the Britannia at this meeting (good to firm) last year and posted some solid performances in defeat at Listed and Group level in the second half of the season; ran well enough to suggest he stays this trip when fourth in Goodwood Listed race last September; first start for nearly nine months.

HHHH Progressed into a smart performer last year, including second to Alenquer in King Edward VII (1m4f) at this meeting; even better form when 2l third to Dubai Honour in 1m2f Deauville Group 2 on final start; gelded since; all turf starts have been on good or softer but he’s a contender on form if ready to roll after ten months off.

HHHH York Listed winner over this trip on good to firm last August; made a good return to action when second from the front in Group 2 there (good) last month; has had only six starts so it’s possible there is more to come from her; not discounted up against the boys. Official BHA Rating 110

Race Summary:

A seriously tight Listed race in which a host can be given a chance. JUAN ELCANO won this second time up last season and might be capable of repeating the feat. Foxes Tales (second choice), who also won at this meeting last year, finished in front of the selection at Sandown in April and had lack of stamina as a plausible excuse for a slightly below-par run at Newbury, so he could pose a major threat if the outside stall isn’t too troublesome. Tasman Bay hasn’t been seen since finishing third in a Deauville Group 2 last August but that was one of a series of good efforts in his 3yo campaign and he’ll be thereabouts if reappearing in similar form. Harrovian, who should be able to get a nice position from his draw, and sole filly Aristia are also on the shortlist. Race Predictor: ARISTIA
