Verdict
JARRAAF is on a steep upward curve and clearly has a liking for this track, so he's the one to side with in a tightly-knit contest. Wiltshire faces a quick turnaround but is an obvious player on the back of a solid showing at Haydock, while the reliable Apollo One is one to respect.

VerdictHighly progressive colt who arrives in search of a C&D hat-trick after powering home to land another handicap here 56 days ago. Has undoubtedly been saved for this and holds excellent claims.

VerdictPosted personal best when landing Buckingham Palace Stakes at this track in June but hasn't made the same impact at a better level since, still below his best when second in a listed race at Newbury 15 days ago. Not completely dismissed.

VerdictSmart colt. Good neck second of 8 to Quinault in listed race (9/2) at York (6f, soft) 27 days ago, clear of rest. Form has been hit and miss this season but he's capable of getting involved if in the same mood as last time.

VerdictSmart mare who bounced back to her best when 1½ lengths fourth of 16 to Montassib in Sprint Cup (50/1) at Haydock before a sub-par showing in the Flying Five at the Curragh. Can compete if on her game.- 5. WiltshireJ: Cieren FallonT: William HaggasF: 5501-1012

VerdictLightly raced 4-y-o who has picked up two handicap wins through a progressive campaign and shaped well in testing conditions at Haydock a week ago. Has the form to take this step up in class in his stride.

VerdictDual winner last autumn but his issues at the stalls have stopped him fulfilling his full potential, doing well to finish third the Ayr Gold Cup a fortnight ago. One to consider but would need it all to drop right.- 1. Apollo OneJ: Daniel TudhopeT: P. Charalambous & J. ClutterbuckF: 30-236282

VerdictMost likeable and reliable sprinter who came second in the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood and produced another big effort when filling the same spot in the Portland at Doncaster last time. Not taken lightly back in Group company.

VerdictSmart filly who bagged her third win this year in listed race at Sandown in June. Has mostly held form since but there are others with a bit more class in this field.

VerdictFound improvement when close second of 7 in listed race at Newmarket on penultimate outing but didn't fully back it up at Newbury last time. Others make more appeal.- Unnamed Favourite
