1

True Statesman

Has won his last two starts, latterly with a very easy win in a handicap over this trip at Chester. Stable have a good record in this.

2

Coco Jack

Makes a quick reappearance after being outpaced by two decent rivals in a Newmarket handicap, racing off the same mark here. A three-time winner but others look preferred.

3

Far Shot

Narrowly justified favouritism in a maiden on his debut. Didn’t make an impact at Royal Ascot but unlucky not to win a 1200m Ascot handicap this month, having to delay his challenge.

4

Faisal Road

Beat some subsequent winners when successful at Yarmouth on his debut. Has changed stables since finishing last at Royal Ascot. Should be fine at 1400m, and tries handicapping.

5

Self Praise

Second in four consecutive races – sometimes looking unlucky – before proving too strong for eight rivals at Chester. Into a handicap for the first time.

6

Seductive Power

Positive signs from all starts, especially with a front-running success at Newbury last time – showing a willing attitude there. Pedigree optimistic about this longer trip on his handicap debut.

7

Miss Jungle Cat

Her dam won over this trip at two, so good chances it will suit this filly who was drawing clear of her rivals in a fast-ground 1200m handicap at York this month.

8

X J Rascal

Despite showing inexperience he made a winning debut at Brighton. Failed to justify favouritism but was finishing well when fourth at Carlisle, looking as though this rise in trip would help.

9

Sunningdale

Looks to be gradually improving. Unruly from the gate but was doing some good work at the finish in a 1200m novices’ event at Newbury in late June.

10

Centre Court

Her two races have been over shorter but she looks bred for this trip. However the subsequent form of her two runs – including a novice win at Newmarket – have not worked out well so far.

11

Dayyan

Not a positive sign that he was well beaten on his only previous Goodwood run. Did much better when leading for much of the trip in an Ascot handicap last time. Has a 1lb tougher mark today.

12

Prairie Falcon

Not beaten far in maiden and novice company on his last two starts – both over 1200m at Ayr. Handicap company could well suit, along with this rise to 1400m.

13

Surely Not

A late surge saw him catch some better fancied rivals over this trip on the Lingfield all-weather in June. He then led before fading fast in a novices’ event at Ascot.
