1

Bass Player

Despite facing six more experienced rivals, he made smooth headway from the back to win a Doncaster maiden over this trip in April. Returns 41 days later, upped in grade.

2

Dawn Of Liberation

One really poor run this season, but he has won his other two starts and was drawing clear at the finish in a 1600m conditions’ event at Goodwood last time. A live contender if repeating that.

3

Ever Given

Had led throughout to win a soft ground handicap off top weight at Chester in May, but, unable to get to the lead in a G2 at Haydock subsequently, he weakened tamely.

4

Honey Sweet

Raced in second place but faded out in the closing stages in a Listed event at York last time. Her Listed win at Deauville last October came on heavy ground, so slow ground is preferred.

5

Midheaven

An all-weather winner over this trip, she is having just her second turf start having finished a respectable fourth of 11 in a York handicap last time.

6

Oscula

Must like this track as she won the two-year-old race here on this day last year, later winning a G3 over this trip at Deauville. A dismal show on the dirt at Riyadh last time can be forgiven.

7

Star from Afarhh

Won debut as a 2yo at this trip but has not managed to build on that in three starts since. She led but was being hard ridden 400m out at Ascot last time, fading.
