15-4131 CD Br Shadwell Estate Company Limited T TIMEFORM VIEW Really likeable colt, beaten just 3 lengths in the red-hot Hardwicke before resuming winning ways tongue tied inYork Group 3 last month. The class act here and can defy a penalty to take this again. TFRHHHHH

405621 Br Liberty Road Stables S Ed Dunlop Racing Ltd B TIMEFORM VIEW Back to form of late, winning extended 2m listed race at Sandown 6 weeks ago. That was a messy small-field affair though and he’ll need more back up in grade here. TFRHHHII

Br Raffles Dancers (NZ) Pty Ltd S Al Basti Equiworld TIMEFORM VIEW Has carried on his progression this term, winning Doncaster handicap in June and unlucky not to score again here (2m) 4 weeks ago, conceding first run. More to come and interesting up in class. TFRHHHII

Br Merry Fox Stud Limited TIMEFORMVIEW Returned with victory for new yard in 2m Kempton handicap and back to form behind Rodrigo Diaz here 4 weeks ago. First crack at a Group race now and he looks up against it. TFRHHIII

Still early days at least and he has a new rider today. Won well at this meeting last year. STEWARDS NOTE: Following its run on 30/7/2021 it was reported that the horse stopped quickly. TFRHHHII
Br Rabbah Bloodstock Limited TIMEFORM VIEW Very much going the right way, making it 2 wins from last 3 starts in Newmarket listed event (12f) 4 weeks ago. Likeable type stepping up in trip and she may not have peaked. One to consider. TFRHHHII

Betting Forecast: 5-4 Hukum (IRE), 17-2 Red Verdon (USA), Golden Pass (GB), 9-1 Recovery Run (GB), 12-1 Rodrigo Diaz (GB), Without A Fight (IRE), 14-1 Pablo Escobarr (IRE), 25-1 Sleeping Lion (USA) Race Summary: HUKUM continues to go from strength to strength and can defy a penalty for his York success and win this Group 3 for the second year running. Recovery Run didn’t get much luck at Goodwood and could go well back up in grade if he stays. Golden Pass and Rodrigo Diaz could also be in the money.
