Darkness

Just beaten over this course and distance in June then won decent Handicap over 1600m in July, both on fast ground. Good chance.

2

Haziym

Well beaten all three runs since arrived from France. Not seen since February. Needs to recapture French form.

3

Isla Kai

Over two years since raced over as short as 1400m. Won 1 of last 16 races and seems unlikely to improve.

4

Urban Sprawl

Won over this course and distance in May and good third of 29 in hot Handicap at Royal Ascot. Good chance if ignore poor run on 29 June.

5

Rhoscolyn

Won 4-37. Has good record at Goodwood. In decline this year. Second on 24 July when dropped in Class. Not ruled out.

6

Thunder Ball

In May won for first time at 10th attempt. Good 4th of 29 in hot Handicap at Royal Ascot in June when 66/1. Interesting.

7

Baileysgutfeeling

Sold after winning three runner selling race in June. Form for new stable not good enough.

8

Dark Thirty

Generally consistent. Acts on most ground. Good run over this course and distance in May. In the mix.

9

Physique

Third twice over this course and distance this year on varied ground. Needs to improve but in the mix.

10

Wobwobwob

Won 4-28. Needs to improve on this year’s performances. Suited by soft ground. Tough task.

11

Classic

Midfield over this course and distance in May. Won Class 3 Handicap nicely last month. Respected.

12

Larado

Won 4-30. Not run since March when out of form over 1729m. Needs to return to best.

13

Farasi Lane

Ninth in this race last year. Now running well off lower handicap mark. Won in July and has decent chance.

14

Love De Vega

Promising start to career but not progressed. Fair midfield finish on return from break in July. Could build on that.

15

Harry Magnus

Improved during Winter and Spring, winning twice. Modest efforts since. Needs to resume progress.

16

Mamillius

10-y-o. Won 11-60. Admirable veteran. Won small race in May. Well beaten since. Unlikely winner.

17

Secret Strength

Won 3-31. Has declined. Well beaten last over 1403m at lower level in July. Unlikely winner.
