TIMEFORM VIEW Smart performance to win 1 1/2m Kempton listed race in November 2021 but he hasn’t been seen since. The fact he’s gone well fresh before provides hope on this belated return to action.

Br Miss K. Rausing

TIMEFORM VIEW Useful filly who was placed at listed level over 1 1/2m on her first 2 outings this term (4 lengths third to Luisa Casati at Goodwood first occasion). Latest midfield effort in France was respectable but she has something to find at this level.

TIMEFORM VIEW Runner-up in a French Group 1 on his final 2-y-o start and reappeared to win the ChesterVase in May (both heavy ground). Not in the same form on a firmer surface in the Derby at Epsom and King Edward at Ascot since but better can be expected back on easier ground this time. STEWARDS NOTE: Following its run on 23/6/2023 it was reported that the horse hung left-handed throughout.

TIMEFORM VIEW 600,000 gns Galileo colt who overcame inexperience to win on his debut (11f, heavy) in April.Very useful efforts when 3 lengths second to Gregory in Goodwood listed (11f again) and 2 1/2 lengths fourth to Castle Way in Newmarket Group 3 (13f) since. Unlikely he’s reached his limit after 3 starts.

2022: ZECHARIAH (IRE) 3 8 11 Tom Marquand 6-4 (Freddie & Martyn Meade) 5 ran

Betting Forecast: 9-4 Arrest (IRE), 3-1 Kemari (GB), 6-1 Klondike (GB), 13-2 Shandoz (GB), 8-1 Jack Darcy (IRE), 25-1 Luisa Casati (IRE), 33-1 Ching Shih (IRE), 50-1 Enemy (GB)

Race Summary: Four of the last 6 runnings have gone the way of a 3-y-o and the younger generation can come to the fore again, with ARREST taken to resume his progression now away from firmish ground. Klondike could easily have more to offer after only 3 starts and is second choice ahead of Godolphin’s Kemari.
