PLAY SMARTER

CRYSTAL PEGASUS showed promise as a juvenile and stepped up plenty despite meeting with defeat on return/handicap debut at Haydock 4 weeks ago, worn down late on as the lack of a recent run possibly told. He gets the nod to open his account back in maiden company. Sarvan, who went close at Newmarket, is next best ahead of John Quinn’s filly, Luck On Sunday.

SUDONA did well to finish second when held up in a steadily-run race at Thirsk 3 weeks ago and with the winner that day going in again there’s substance to that race. She looks the answer from 1lb higher, with Aiya, a C&D scorer from this mark in the autumn, and Ad Libitum feared most.

PLAY SMARTER

BALANCING ACT shaped well back from an 8-month break when fourth to the race-fit Kendred Soul at Beverley. She is entitled to come on for that and enjoys a handy pull at the weights with her stablemate here. Manolith, who returned to form when going close at Hamilton recently, looks dangerous, while Reviette is open to improvement, but Araifjan leaves the impression that a stiffer test is needed.

RAYONG returned with a fine run behind a top prospect for his owners in the 3-y-o sprint handicap at Royal Ascot, shaping really well from a most unfavourable draw/ position. He’s kindly been dropped 2lb and has cracking claims from stall 1. The danger is Garsman, who is on a roll for new connections and may not have peaked yet.

PLAY SMARTER

The race that BILLY ROBERTS was fourth in over C&D on his return is turning out to be very strong, so he makes plenty of appeal in this slightly weaker affair. Dancin Boy and Harvest Day are drawn inside the selection and are capable of making an impact if the pace is strong enough.

FRANKELIO landed a gamble when taking advantage of his reduced mark over this C&D on return, edging out a couple of subsequent winners in the process, and makes the most appeal off only 2lb higher. Athmad is another who’s potentially well treated and ran his best race for this yard when fifth at Doncaster, while last-time-out winners Angel’s Whisper and Granite City Doc need considering, too.

PLAY SMARTER

SCENTASIA proved to be a disappointment on her comeback at Kempton last month but she sets a clear standard here so is well worth another chance. Salayel went close in the Silver Royal Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot despite racing freely and looks up to this level on that evidence, so is next best ahead of Audarya and Romola.

TIMEFORM VIEW Smart handicapper who arrives in cracking form, going agonisingly close in Wokingham at TFRHHHHH BHA105 Royal Ascot last time. Very much at the top of his game and the one to beat.

PLAY SMARTER

A very useful contest. SUMMERGHAND was better than ever when just failing to get up in the Wokingham and can gain some compensation here. Golden Apollo will likely come on for his reappearance at Royal Ascot and can fill the forecast ahead of the trip-dropping Shawaamekh.

PLAY SMARTER

SHEEPSCAR LAD can’t be backed with confidence given his losing run but he did shape well enough on his return to suggest wind surgery may have had a positive effect and he might be worth chancing. Epeius has a lower mark on turf than AW and will be a threat if able to build on a decent effort at Ayr last month. Mutabaahy was narrowly in front of the selection last time and is also shortlisted.
