Dr aw 5 Hayley Turner

HHH Four-time Tapeta winner who transferred AW form to turf when close third at Ayr (1m5f, good) in June; not far away on either start since, the latest on good to soft over C&D and he’s now 4lb better off with the runner-up Max Mayhem, so the handicapper is giving him a chance

Form: 516526 D

HHHH Smooth win in big field at York (1m4f, good) in May; while below form on latest outing, his slow start left him with an uphill task in that top 1m2f handicap at York (good to soft) and he worked his way into sixth of 18; respected back at 1m4f

Dr aw 2 Olivier Peslier

Colours: LIGHT BLUE, BLACK triangular panel, stars on sleeves, DARK BLUE cap

Form: 30-0131

HHH His two runs on softer than good were early in career and he was withdrawn when the ground was good to soft here two weeks ago; four wins on good to firm, including when he comfortably made all twice at Windsor this summer; latest came when upped to 11.4f six weeks ago and he did it in good style; not bred for this far but same could be said of his other turf wins; improving 4yo who needs a close look despite going up another 7lb

HH Well beaten at Goodwood 11 days ago and it was also good to soft ground when he was withdrawn here last month, on his only scheduled outing over 1m4f; ran respectably on penultimate start and has a good mark, but the new headgear (replacing recent cheekpieces) isn’t the only question he has to answer.

Dr aw 3 Frankie Dettori

HHH Improvement peaked with his win in this race last year (good to firm); just 1lb higher today and he was a respectable third on soft ground at Ripon on latest outing, with his tongue tied for the second time, so he needs a second look.
