INVIGILATE (best price 9-4) went off too hard at Chester last time but still ran very well to finish third and given the fact her form is mounting up well, with potential for better in the hands of Ryan Moore, she gets the vote to provide connections with a third winner in this event in five years. 

This acclamation filly was a solid fifth on debut at Newmarket and did well to hold her position for so long at Chester last time when setting it up for the closers in behind. The front pair from that event are decent, however, and her fifth on debut has worked out strongly, too. She’s open to further improvement and being a sister to Breeders Cup winner - Expert Eye, she should be more than capable of putting her valuable experience to good use in this line-up as she’s entered in the Rockfel later this month at HQ. 

This looks wide-open so I’m going to take a chance on a couple of the outsiders in the field in the shape of CLUB WEXFORD (best price 40-1) and PRESIDENTIAL (best price 14-1) who were much better than these at there best and it wouldn’t come as a shock if either were to outrun the double-figure odds that has been applied to both of them as they certainly have the capabilities to run well if rediscovering previous form. 

CLUB WEXFORD has undeniably become unreliable and difficult to catch right, hence why he’s not won since 2019. That said, it was only last year that he placed off marks between 86-90 in a pair of class-3 events and he finds himself twenty-five pounds lower than when last successful. Bradley Harris takes off a valuable seven-pounds, which means he carries his lowest racing weight in a very long time and, having ran well the last time he competed over seven-furlongs under similar conditions, this trip looks worth another go. He could easily exceed market expectations with four places widely available providing the wide-draw doesn’t inconvenience him too much.

Roger Fell’s other participant, PRESIDENTIAL, has been out of form of late but he drops into grade for the first time since scoring from a mark of 74 and given this seven-year-old has largely performed well in top-end handicaps during his career, he could be very competitive. He could only finish eighth when last spotted but this is the easiest event he will have competed in for a long time and, interestingly, Faye McManoman maintains the partnership having been in the plate last time, claiming three-pounds. He might not be the force of old, but he’s much better than this grade when on song and makes more appeal than the formbook would indicate in this with four places on offer.

Kelmscott, an earlier winner in the season for us, is heavily respected but this looks a good opportunity for the Michael Bell-trained BARENBOIM (best price 5-2) to finally shed the maiden tag now eased in grade. 

This Colt by Golden Horn arrives here on the back of two encouraging efforts in defeat with all of his runs this year coming into better races than this. He’s been getting closer and closer to opening his account for connections and he’ll have no issue with the course having run a big race from the front here on his penultimate outing off this mark over a mile and two furlongs. He split two horses rated 80 and 88, respectively, while the winner Champagne Piaff caught the eye when third at Ascot last time. He remains winless but what he has done, however, is show a huge amount of potential against higher-rated opponents, likewise twelve days ago when not beaten far behind 90 and 86-rated rivals. This is a lot easier and he should launch a bold bid from the front as any sort of step forward from that latest run, or even a repeat, ought to be good enough.
