1 WODETON (FR) (27) 255103 C BF 9-11 (6)

Br B or Br g Wootton Bassett - Amanda Carter (Tobougg (IRE)) David Probert J O Thurloe Thoroughbreds LI Andrew Balding, Kingsclere T B Framont Ltd Osborne Studio Gallery S TIMEFORM VIEW Well and truly confirmed previous promise when landing 7f handicap here in comfortable fashion in June. Never figured at Goodwood next time but right back on track when third here (7f) 4 weeks ago. Well worth considering back up in trip. TFRHHHHH BHA87

2 TRIBAL WISDOM (IRE) (41) 222 BF

Br Ch g Frankel - Zindaya (USA) (More Than Ready (USA))

9-9 (4)

Adam Kirby J

O Godolphin

Charlie Appleby, Newmarket T B Fifth Avenue Bloodstock Emirates Fly Better S TIMEFORM VIEW Fairly useful form in filling runners-up spot all 3 starts to date, albeit beaten at 1/8 in a match at Windsor (10f) when last seen 41 days ago. Still, he’s in good hands and it remains early days with him ahead of this switch to handicaps. Respected. TFRHHHHI BHA85

3 RAWYAAN (GB) (35) 15-0100 9-8 (7)

Br Gr g Markaz (IRE) - Rathaath (IRE) (Oasis Dream) Pat Cosgrave J O Highclere T’Bred Racing & Mr C Norman George Baker, Chiddingfold T B Shadwell Estate Company Limited Highclere Thoroughbred Racing Ltd S TIMEFORM VIEW Latest win at Goodwood (1m) in June. 40/1, last of 14 in handicap at Sandown (1m, good) 35 days ago. Visor needs to have positive effect now. TFRHHHII BHA84

4 NUVOLARI (GB) (24) 640425 C BF 9-8 (2)

Br B c Time Test - Luang Prabang (IRE) (Invincible Spirit (IRE)) Rob Hornby J O Mick and Janice Mariscotti Eve Johnson Houghton, Blewbury T B Des Thurlby Abm Catering Limited S TIMEFORM VIEW Landed a 7f novice here on debut 12 months ago. Improved efforts without tasting success since, runner-up at Haydock (1m) prior to finishing respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f) 24 days ago, albeit again not looking straightforward. TFRHHHII BHA84

5 NEW PURSUIT (IRE) (24) 33-1502 CD 9-7 (1)

Br Ch g New Bay - Soliza (IRE) (Intikhab (USA)) Benoit de la Sayette (3) J O Run Away Racing Quest Syndicate Kevin Philippart de Foy, Newmarket T B John McGrath & New Bay Syndicate Tattersalls, Kpf Racing Ltd S TIMEFORM VIEW Gained second career victory at this venue on return over C&D in April. Not in same form next 2 starts but quickly back to best when second of 10 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) 24 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Looks competitive on form. TFRHHHII BHA83

6 NOBLE MARK (IRE) (52) 141455 9-1 (3)

Br Ch g Animal Kingdom (USA) - Above The Mark (USA) (Street Cry (IRE)) Luke Morris J O Jones, Julian, Lee & Royle Sir Mark Prescott Bt, Newmarket T B Tinnakill Bloodstock Tote S TIMEFORM VIEW Latest win at Nottingham (8.3f) in May. Fifth of 7 in handicap at Sandown (10f, good, 15/2) 52 days ago. Can give a good account once more. TFRHHHII BHA77

B Mr S. Maresca TIMEFORM VIEW Aclaim gelding who is yet to finish out the frame, landing Kempton novice (7f) at third attempt and finding some improvement to finish runner-up on handicap bow at Newcastle (7f) in June. Absent since but claims if proving as effective on turf. TFRHHHHI BHA77

Br B g Le Havre (IRE) - Gregoraci (FR) (Poet’s Voice) Cieren Fallon J O Ms E L Banks & Mr G Augustin-Normand David Menuisier, Pulborough T B Mr Sylvain Vidal Shinco Racing Limited S TIMEFORM VIEW Hooded for 1st time, twelfth of 13 in handicap at Sandown (10f, good, 7/1) always behind. Subsequent break needs to have had positive effect now. TFRHHHII BHA73

PLAY SMARTER This looks wide-open but WODETON is one who has already fully confirmed his effectiveness around here and, with the step back up in trip expected to suit on the back of a good third over 7f here 4 weeks ago, he could be the way to go. There doesn’t appear to be a massive amount of pace on though, and Tribal Wisdom may prove difficult to dislodge if granted his own way on the front end back from a break/now handicapping. Tickets completes the shortlist.
