P. J. McDonald J Mark Johnston, Middleham T Johnston Racing Ltd S
TIMEFORM VIEW Multiple 2-y-o winner who went close in the Italian Derby 3 starts back. Not disgraced in strong handicaps at Goodwood and York since, but current mark looks stiff and Joe Fanning prefers Huboor. TFRHHHII BHA101 (-1)

Still, improvement needed now upped in trip. TFRHHHII BHA90

Hollie Doyle J Eve Johnson Houghton, Blewbury T ABM Catering Limited S
TIMEFORM VIEW AW maiden winner in 2019 and has acquitted himself well in turf handicaps this year, clear of the rest when just touched off at Newbury (1 1/4m) recently. 5lb rise fair and conditions won’t be an issue. TFRHHHII BHA88

Ben Curtis J William Haggas, Newmarket T
TIMEFORM VIEW Left low-key debut well behind when winning 1m Thirsk novice last month. Duly landed the odds upped to 9.5f under a penalty at Wolverhampton since and further progress anticipated now handicapping. TFRHHHHI BHA84

PLAY SMARTER
One of just three booked rides for Andrea Atzeni on this nine-race card, THRONE HALL is very interesting indeed. He justified strong support when scoring in ready fashion at Hamilton following a 12-month absence recently and further progress is on the cards now pitched into a handicap. The similarly promising and unexposed Ilaraab is feared greatly and HMS President also commands respect.
