Alan King, Barbury Castle T

B Executive Bloodlines TIMEFORM VIEW Dual scorer for Charlie Fellowes who seemed unsuited by conditions when last seen 12 months ago in Duke Of Edinburgh Stakes at Royal Ascot. Blinkers go back on for his first start for this yard and this outing should reveal where he’s at. TFRHHHII BHA94

B Lady Bamford TIMEFORM VIEW Useful performer in France who was last seen finishing 3 1/2 lengths sixth of 7 to Penja in Group 3 Prix de Psyche at Deauville (9.9f) 11 months ago. Has since left A. Fabre (12,000 gns) and a market check is advised on reappearance. Tongue strap on for handicap debut. TFRHHIII BHA94

Below that level since but has dropped 2lb below his last winning mark as a result. TFRHHIII BHA93

Br B g Dubawi (IRE) - Mujarah (IRE) Louis Steward J

O Godolphin Saeed bin Suroor, Newmarket T

B Godolphin Emirates Fly Better S TIMEFORM VIEW Low-mileage 5-y-o who showed improved form to get off the mark on the back of an 18 month absence when scoring with a bit up his sleeve at York 3 weeks ago. 9lb rise makes life tougher but there could be more to come upped to 1 1/4m for the first time.

William Haggas, Newmarket T

William Jarvis, Newmarket T

B Rollx Syndicate Tattersalls S TIMEFORM VIEW Useful sort who performed respectably when third in a Bahrain handicap in February. Below form back in Britain after 4 months off at Epsom last month and probably best watched on this occasion. TFRHHIII BHA89

Br Gr f Mukhadram - Brave Mave Joanna Mason J O J Munroe, M McHale & K Wreglesworth Michael & David Easterby, Sheriff Hutton T B Mr James Munroe Stittenham Farms S TIMEFORM VIEW Scored 3 times in 2021 and ended her 3-y-o campaign with a bit more improvement when 5 3/4 lengths fifth of 11 to Shine For You in Listed event at Saint-Cloud back in October. Not seen since but could pick up from where she left off. TFRHHHII BHA87

Br B g Acclamation - Dangle (IRE) Rhys Clutterbuck (3) J O Old Stoic Racing Club & Partner Jonathan Portman, Upper Lambourn T B S. V. Schilcher Pump Technology Limited S TIMEFORM VIEW Likeable sort who ran as well as he was entitled to in a strong Epsom contest last month. Handicapper appears to have his measure, but could hit the frame again. TFRHHHII BHA83

B G. Doyle & Lord Margadale Newmarket Racing Club Ltd S TIMEFORM VIEW Scored at Chelmsford last October and wasn’t disgraced (pulled too hard) on reappearance at same course in April.

William Buick J

O Aquis Farm & Manton Park Freddie & Martyn Meade, Manton T

B S.C.E.A. Team Hogdala France Hadleigh Business Jets S TIMEFORM VIEW Promising son of Almanzor who landed a small-field Salisbury maiden (12f) early on last month and had little trouble with drop back to 1 1/4m to follow up on handicap bow at Bath since, keeping on well. His toughest assignment yet but likely he’s more in his locker. TFRHHHHH BHA90

Ian Williams, Alvechurch T

B Shadwell Estate Company Limited TIMEFORM VIEW Left Roger Varian’s stable for 45,000 gns after a fair debut and stepped up on reappearance effort when sixth at Chester 5 weeks ago. Type to do better in handicaps so worth a market check. TFRHHHII BHA78

Aidan Keeley (7) J

Daniel Steele, Henfield T

B Shadwell Estate Company Limited TIMEFORM VIEW Found his run of good form coming to a halt sporting a first-time hood when down the field at Yarmouth in May. Has since left Edward Bethell and probably best to look elsewhere despite a tongue tie being added. TFRHHIII BHA71

B Shadwell Farm LLC Stonegate Homes S TIMEFORM VIEW Was well backed to score on debut at Southwell (7f) in February. Added to his tally in a Haydock handicap (8.2f, good to soft) in May and beaten only by a completely unexposed one at this track (9f, good to firm) 3 weeks ago. Fancied to feature. TFRHHHHI BHA86

Trevor Whelan J

George Baker, Chiddingfold T

B Plantation Stud Vortex Shipbroking S TIMEFORM VIEW Made a winning reappearance at Lingfield in March and added to his tally with a smooth success back at that track a fortnight ago, quickening clear early in straight. Less exposed than most in this and it would be no surprise to see him involved. TFRHHHHI BHA83

DECLARED RUNNERS 15 2021: MAKRAM (IRE) 4 9 6 James Doyle 3-1 (Roger Charlton) 11 ran

Probable S.P’s: 5-1 Forest Falcon (IRE), 11-2 Electrical Storm (GB), 6-1 Chairman (FR), 17-2 Le Forban (GB), 10-1 Protagonist (FR), 16-1 Yorkshire Lady (GB), Aldhaja (USA), 18-1 Sweet Reward (IRE), 20-1 Jeremiah (GB), 28-1 You’re Hired (GB), Balgair (GB), Aqwaam (GB), 33-1 Taskheer (IRE), 50-1 Gold Haze (IRE), Arqoob (IRE)

PLAY SMARTER Several in with a shout but the vote goes to CHAIRMAN. Freddie & Martyn Meade’s charge has improved in each of his 4 starts this year, and with further progress not out of the equation, he’s fancied to complete the hat-trick with William Buick an eye-catching jockey booking. Bottom-weight Le Forban is less exposed than most so he’s put forward as the main threat, while Aldhaja and Forest Falcon could also have a say in proceedings.
