Br Al Shira’aa Farms S.A.R.L. TIMEFORMVIEW Made an impressive winning bow in 6f maiden at Leicester. Better than he could show in Coventry at Royal Ascot and then perhaps found his stamina stretched in Superlative Stakes last time. Respected. TFRHHHHI

Br Ringfort Stud S Clarendon Thoroughbred Racing, Tattersalls TIMEFORM VIEW Dual winner who ran creditably without finding any improvement on his first go at 6f when fourth in Gimcrack Stakes atYork (good to firm) 29 days ago. Shouldn’t be too far away with a repeat. TFRHHHII

Br MountainView Stud & Tally Ho Stud S Tweenhills Farm & Stud Ltd TIMEFORMVIEW Bred to be a useful sprinter and got off to the perfect start, winning 6f novices at Wolverhampton and Salisbury. Decent third in Sirenia Stakes at Kempton last time but needs more in this field. TFRHHHII

Br Mr R. Ryan S Tote TIMEFORMVIEW Left debut form well behind to make second start a winning one in 6fYarmouth novice. Further improvement when runner-up both outings subsequently and could still have more to offer back at 6f. TFRHHHII

Br Al-Baha Bloodstock S Newsells Park Stud Limited TIMEFORM VIEW Created an excellent impression when getting off the mark in style in 6f novice at Newmarket 3 weeks ago. That was hardly a strong race by track standards but he’s open to further improvement. TFRHHHII

Br Blackberry Stud Ltd. S K. A. Ryan Racing TIMEFORM VIEW Mehmas colt who justified strong support when making a winning debut in a 5f Thirsk maiden (5f) in April. Still green 4 months on at Ripon and faces a stiff task here, but retains potential. TFRHHHII

Betting Forecast: 10-3 Dhabab (IRE), 11-2 Gubbass (IRE), 13-2 Gis A Sub (IRE), 8-1 Fearby (IRE), 17-2 Manaccan (GB), 9-1 Maglev (IRE), 12-1 Wings of War (IRE), 14-1 Khunan (GB), 18-1 Hierarchy (IRE), 28-1 Melayu Kingdom (IRE) Race Summary: GUBBASS ran a fine race when fifth in the Prix Morny at Deauville last month, and that form looks about the best on offer, so he earns the narrow vote. Gis A Sub is much respected following an excellent second in the Gimcrack Stakes at York, as is Dhabab, who could have a bigger performance in the locker back at 6f.
