Stewards Note:
MONTYS ROCK: Following its run on 11/6/2024 it was reported that the horse was never travelling.
AGILULF: Following its run on 23/6/2024 it was reported that the horse was found to have bled.
Probable S.P’s: 6-4 Asa (FR), 5-2 Ten Ten Twenty (IRE), 12-1 Princess Unique (GB), 18-1 Agilulf (GB), 20-1 Betty’s Belle (GB), Mackie Dee (IRE), Ideal de Romay (FR), 25-1 Bean Norty (GB), 28-1 Montys Rock (IRE)
This could well develop into a match between ASA and Ten Ten Twenty, with preference for the former having belatedly opened her account in good style at Cartmel last week. Ten Ten Twenty found only a progressive rival too good at Worcester recently and David Jeffreys’ 6-y-o may have to settle for silver again, with Ideal de Romay rounding off the shortlist from a basement mark in reapplied cheekpieces.

BULLION BOSS produced easily his best performance since returning from his lengthy absence when runner-up over 23f here 16 days ago and, in the hope the headgear has the desired effect once more, he gets a tentative vote to end a losing run. Kopa Kilana steps back up in trip following a pair of good placed efforts and is feared, with low-mileage Hope Hill possibly capable of better still for Sue Smith.

PLAY SMARTER
HONNEUR DE SIVOLA has shaped as if needing the run on both his starts this season so could be worth chancing off a career-low mark. Don Occhetti made a promising start to his chase career when 13 lengths second to Clean Getaway over C&D last month and is 12lb better off with that rival here. so Dan Skelton’s charge rates the main threat.

WARFLEET: Following its run on 19/6/2024 it was reported that the horse hung right-handed.

MONTANA GOLDEN made an encouraging start to his career when second at Worcester last month and is taken to go one better now. The others with racecourse experience haven’t achieved a great deal so the main threat may come from newcomers You Moved On and Ellie Blue.
