13:50 Roach Power
This is fiendishly difficult with any number of the runners entitled to have realistic hopes held for them. A chance is taken on the 3yo ROACH POWER who has done well this season from 5f to 7f and, although stall 1 wouldn’t be first preference, there is a lot of pace close to him. The red-hot Sound Of Iona is having her fourth start already this month but is clearly loving her work and she’s a must for the shortlist after so nearly winning a stronger race at the weekend. Stone Of Destiny is risky but also very capable and his last win came in the Portland at this meeting.

14:25 Utilis
Back up in distance there could well be improvement to come from UTILIS, who made good late headway in a competitive 6f nursery at the York Ebor festival three weeks ago. Second choice is handicap debutant Grey’s Monument who, like the selection, is open to progress over this trip. Modern Dancer, as the early betting suggests, holds obvious claims and has to be feared, while Indian Dream and Hour By Hour are also firmly in the mix.
15:00 Absolute Dream
This is tight and trappy with 14 of the 17 runners separated by no more than 5lb on handicap marks. The suggestion is ABSOLUTE DREAM, who finished off like a train when third last time at Epsom and it’s surprising that he’s not returned to 1m before now. Kieren Fallon’s mount Shine On Brendan is feared most, followed by Arranmore, Codify and Temper Trap.

15:35 Heredia
It’s worth keeping the faith in HEREDIA, who proved somewhat disappointing the last twice but had earlier looked a Group performer in the making and could well regain the winning thread in this field. She’s towards the top of the pack on ratings and gets the vote over German filly Novemba, with the thriving Adaay In Asia third choice and Umm Kulthum fourth on the list. A few others also have possibilities.
16:10 Equilateral
The drop back to Listed level may well enable EQUILATERAL to register a first British success since landing this race in 2019. Progressive Manaccan is feared most, ahead of King Of Stars. Mo Celita and Union Court may prove best of the remainder.
16:45 Grand Central
Most of the handicap newcomers are open to improvement, most notably GRAND CENTRAL who cost 140,000gns as a yearling, represents respected connections and should prove better than an opening mark of 76. Second choice is Maximilian Caesar, whose form has substance. X J Rascal and Impulsive Reaction look clear best of the runners who already have nursery experience.
17:20 Just Fine (NAP)
The vote goes to JUST FINE (nap), who is on a workable mark having received some clemency from the assessor. He is a tempting proposition off 4lb lower than when running respectably in the John Smith’s Cup, especially as that form has been boosted since. Second choice is Bell Rock who, like the selection, has become favourably handicapped. King Triton is third on the list, ahead of Isla Kai and Vulcan. Mujtaba and Legend Of Dubai let supporters down the last twice but they can’t be written off yet.
