PLAY SMARTER

ANCIENT TIMES shaped encouragingly when a close-up third behind a pair with previous experience at York 4 weeks ago and, with progress expected with that under his belt, he’s fancied to go one place better. Bath-winner Secret Handsheikh and Ballintoy Harbour head up the dangers, in that order.

Garswood, the winner of the 2014 Prix Maurice de Gheest at Deauville

Mayson, born and bred at Highfield Farm, became David & Emma's first Group 1 winner when he won the 6f Darley July Cup at Newmarket by no less then 5 lengths. Having earlier notched up wins in Newmarket's Listed Abernant Stakes and the Group 3 Palace House Stakes, he was retired to stud after being beaten by just a neck in the Group 1 Prix de l'Abbaye at Longchamp.

KINGMANIA offered plenty to work on when sixth starting out at Newbury a month ago, and while it’s slightly surprising to see her kept to 6f, she still rates a sure-fire improver. Meu Amor also shaped with promise on debut and is feared most.

PLAY SMARTER

A case can be made for most of these but the most persuasive one is for INEXES who can boast a C&D win and signalled he’s ready to go in again when runner-up at Hamilton last time. Foreshore is sure to provide a stern test after his narrow reversal at Doncaster and recent Ayr scorer Epeius is another to consider in an open sprint.

ARAIFJAN has a difficult draw to contend with again but he’s running better than his recent form figures suggest and the step up to 6f could do the trick. Jordan Electrics and course-specialist Mr Orange head the opposition.

Seven of the last 10 runnings of this have gone to 4-y-os and SHADES OF BLUE, who found just one too good 12 months ago, is taken to enhance that statistic. She shaped as though back in top form in a York Group 3 last time and will hopefully respond well to the new headgear.

This is likely to go to one of the 3-y-os, with REVOLVER the pick ahead of Frankenstella.

The latter did the job well over C&D a fortnight ago and there should be more races to be won with her, but Revolver is clearly thriving, making it 5-5 in handicaps at Sandown last week, and this stiffer test promises to help unlock further improvement. Funny Man may fare best of the remaining quartet.

TAWREED hasn’t achieved quite as much in form terms as Wondrous Words but she’s open to improvement based on the encouragement of her solitary outing to date, when third at Yarmouth despite looking green.

KITTEN’S DREAM was suited by the longer trip when winning at Beverley, doing well to come from off the pace, and still looks nicely treated despite a 7lb rise. Mr Carpenter proved a different proposition with a few new variables in play when making a winning return/debut for this yard at York and may do better again, while Mankayan was beaten only by a subsequent winner at Ascot 3 weeks ago.
