THE TIMEFORM VIEW Having struggled in Group 3 company at Ascot recently, DANEH OF DANDY looks the way to go now back in calmer waters She did the job pretty well when making a winning start to her career at Ripon and remains of interest given the promise she showed that day. Angela’s Baar is also feared on the basis of what she showed ﬁrst time out and Fille Unique, who should be more street-wise following her debut spin at Beverley, also enters calculations.

Stewards Note: MOO DENG: Following its run on 3/7/2025 it was reported that the horse jumped awkwardly from the stalls. INVINCIBLE ANNIE: Following its run on 25/7/2025 it was reported that the horse was never travelling.

PROBABLE S.P.’s 4-1 Popty Ping (GB), 9-2 Harswell River (IRE), 11-2 Lexington Express (IRE), 6-1 London (QA), 7-1 Preminision (GB), 8-1 Bosom Pals (GB), 10-1 Moo Deng (GB), 22-1 Invincible Annie (IRE)

THE TIMEFORM VIEW The well-bred LONDON was third to a subsequent Listed winner on her penultimate start at Beverley and while she failed to take a step forward over this C&D next time, the St Mark’s Basilica ﬁlly may well be seen in a better light now trying her hand in a nursery. Harswell River and Lexington Express rate the main dangers, but Popty Ping will also be a threat if able to shrug off a somewhat subdued effort last time.

THE TIMEFORM VIEW The vote goes to EQUITY LAW, who went down all guns blazing when overhauled close home by American Bay over this C&D in June and, now 5lb better off with that rival,Tim Easterby’s charge is taken to emerge on top this time The selection was down the ﬁeld at York last time, but that was a stronger race than this American Bay also contested a handicap on the Knavesmire recently and is second choice, despite his rather up-and-down proﬁle, while South Parade is another to consider

THE TIMEFORM VIEW An interesting handicap despite the small ﬁeld with the vote in favour of RIBBLE VIBE. He stepped up plenty on his reappearance/stable debut effort when third in a Newcastle handicap 13 days ago, whilst leaving the distinct impression there’s an even bigger effort in his locker That said, Old Newton Cup runner-up Paddy The Squire and Melek Alreeh are likely to give David O’Meara’s 4-y-o plenty to think about.

THE TIMEFORM VIEW SOLE SPIRIT was much improved following 6 months off (also gelded) when opening his account with a bit to spare at Doncaster 6 weeks ago He may well be up to defying a 3lb higher mark with further progress distinctly possible on the back of just 5 starts Uncle Sam ran well on his ﬁrst start for new connections when second over C&D 6 days ago and he’s an obvious danger Get Up Everybody and Jeany May complete the shortlist.
