1. Highwaygrey | Only just missed last start, finishing a neck back from the winner at Ayr. Has a lot of early speed and D Allan a bonus. Solid claims. |
2. Zuraig | Finished six lengths off the winner last start at Ayr. Has a lot of early speed and won once this prep at Windsor nine runs back. Not in this. |
3. Goodwood Glen | Let-up for eight weeks. Has a lot of early speed and Billy Garritty a bonus. Not out of it. |
4. Golden Valour | Let-up and coming to a new trainer. Looks the leader. Place chance. |
5. Bringitonboris | Winner of five races at 1m on good to soft ground and on the all-weather. Finished 4 1/2l behind Forgivable when fourth of 10 at 7-1 on his latest outing at Redcar over 1m 2f (good to firm) last month. |
6. Havana Party | Won once this prep at Hamilton four runs back. Has plenty of early speed and a likely leader. All wins have come when faced with dry ground. Place chance. |
7. Royal Regent | Winner of six races from 1m to 1m 2f on good to firm and soft ground. Well beaten at 40-1 behind Bruno's Gold when last of 8 on his latest outing over this course and distance (good) last month. |
8. Flying Moon | Can't knock the form with three wins from six attempts this campaign. Capable of racing on speed and has multiple wins at Ayr. Should be thereabouts. |
9. Ayr Poet | Short back-up of five days. Has a lot of early speed and drawn perfectly. Serious player. |
