1 | Dubhe | Not seen since won handicap over around 2000m in April. Up 9lb and not raced on fast ground before but fair chance. |
2 | Cross Counter | Won two small races first two starts and runner-up latest this month. Form of that race uncertain and has to prove up to this. |
3 | Downdraft | First run on turf when won handicap over 2000m this month. Value of form uncertain and up 8lb needs more. |
4 | Communique | Improved on fast ground to win latest over 2000m. Up 9lb but could improve for 2400m. |
5 | Dukhan | Decent placed form this season until disappointing latest. Gelded since and that will need to make a big difference. |
6 | Billy Ray | Running respectably including in Listed race latest but handicap mark of 93 looks harsh and fast ground an unknown. |
7 | Lucius Tiberius | After winning maiden was third of five in Listed race. Needs more. |
8 | Lisheen Castle | Well beaten this year and hopeless task. |
9 | Baileys Excelerate | Improved to win handicap stepped up to around 2400m. Up 7lb but further improvement likely. Races prominently. |
10 | Making Miracles | Took eight races to win and that a four runner handicap but ran well when just beaten by stablemate Baghdad previously. Up 11lb but not out of it. |
11 | First Eleven | Won easily over 2200m last month when first met fast ground. Needs to defy 14lb rise but might. |
12 | Baghdad | Improved this year. Favourite when won 16 runner handicap at York over around 2400m on fast ground latest. Races prominently. Up 10lb but may be up to it. |
13 | Cassini | Won novice race over 2000m on reappearance this month. Should improve and not severely handicapped. Decent chance. |
14 | Elegiac | Shown promise in three runs over shorter but this demands a lot more. |
15 | Lucky Deal | Won four runner handicap over around 2200m latest. May be more to come but this much tougher. |
16 | Corgi | Steady performances including over course and distance. Won latest but others more appealing. |
17 | Occupy | Fair form when third in latest run but needs more. |
18 | Perfect Illusion | Two wins were on all-weather this year. Out of depth last two starts and unlikely winner. |
19 | He’s Amazing | Probably not good enough and step up in trip not certain to suit. |
