In a wide-open contest, only a tentative vote can go to PHYSIQUE for an yard in-form. The son of Kingman cost 170,000 pounds as a yearling, he's related to some smart types and Mohammed Tabti's 7lb claim could prove invaluable. Juryman has run with credit in both of his starts and features prominently in calculations along with stablemate Diamond Dreamer. Wiltshire and Prospering are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Physique 2nd Juryman 3rd Diamond Dreamer

RAJASTHAN failed to land a blow over 7f on his debut last month, but the son of Dubawi hit the line well that day having been denied a clear run and he's fancied to step forward now sent over further. Promoter won in good fashion at Chepstow on his latest outing and must be considered despite the 6lb penalty. Graham and Scintillante might not be far away on their respective debuts.
Prediction : 1st Rajasthan 2nd Promoter 3rd Graham

14:00 Newbury

MOUSH caught the eye when staying on into third on his debut and Mick Channon's charge could put that experience to good use this afternoon. Torito is a half-brother to Indigo Girl, who won on her first start for John Gosden, and he's of significant interest along with Alhambra Palace for William Haggas' in-form yard. Supreme King and Davideo are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Moush 2nd Torito 3rd Alhambra Palace

14:35 Newbury

MISTY DANCER is a filly that continues to go from strength to strength and a 5lb rise for her most recent win at Ayr looks manageable as she aims to complete the hat-trick. Similar comments apply to Miss Down Under but she has been operating in a lesser grade, while Kings Joy bounced back to form with a creditable effort at Newmarket last time out. Picual and Smiling Jayne have the form to get involved as well.
Prediction : 1st Misty Dancer 2nd Miss Down Under 3rd Mille Miglia

Being a full-brother to the mighty Cracksman, connections probably didn't foresee FRANTASTIC contesting handicaps at the end of his three-year-old campaign. A winner here on his penultimate start, he remains with potential and it could be that the step up in trip brings out the best in him. Juan Bermudez has not been seen since April, but he cannot be ruled out along with Beny Nahar Road, who deserves to get his head in front, having finished in the first three on all four of his career outings.
Prediction : 1st Frantastic 2nd Beny Nahar Road 3rd Juan Bermudez

15:45 Newbury

BELL SHOT was only run down late on when trying to make all at Newmarket last month and a return to his favourite track can see the three-year-old regain the winning thread. The booking of Frankie Dettori is another plus and he may have too much for the likes of Chepstow winner Biggles and Final Watch, who was runner-up in this race last year off 2lb lower. The admirable veteran Raising Sand is entitled to be thereabouts along with Fresh Hope and Mount Kosciuszko.
Prediction : 1st Bell Shot 2nd Final Watch 3rd Biggles

16:20 Newbury

Spanish Star was finally rewarded for his good efforts when recording his first win of the season at Goodwood 12 days ago and a 4lb rise shouldn't prevent the son of Requinto from being competitive. Dora Penny ran on into second that day, beaten a length and a quarter, and the three-year-old may be able to reverse form with that rival on these better terms. However, BERNARDO O'REILLY makes greater appeal after finishing third in the Silver Cup at Ayr and the Richard Spencer inmate rates the one to beat running off the same mark. Windsor winner Twilight Heir may fare best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Bernardo OReilly 2nd Dora Penny 3rd Spanish Star

16:55 Newbury

Useful hurdler Main Fact is a fascinating contender returned to the Flat, but the David Pipe charge is entitled improve for this run after a 582-day layoff. ZIKANY rates the most attractive proposition after improving for the step up in trip to land a 2m prize at Goodwood and the conditions of this contest should suit the strong-travelling four-year-old. Tralee Hills warrants serious respect after finishing second to the selection (beaten three-quarters of a length) and the son of Mount Nelson may get closer on 5lb better terms, with the Alan King-trained Restitution most appealing of the remainder on his return from the jumps.
Prediction : 1st Zikany 2nd Tralee Hills 3rd Main Fact
