Perhaps this is the day when JUSTCALLMEPETE cashes in on his lower turf mark. Marley Park's fine C&D record makes him a must for the shortlist, while Mister Bluebird and Tropez Power are both more than capable from their current marks.

VerdictLow-mileage 4-y-o but his 3 efforts this season have been a little underwhelming. This is less competitive than the big-field sprint he contested at York last time but others have less to prove.- 6. JustcallmepeteJ: Joe LeavyT: James EvansF: 25647-004

VerdictLower in the weights on turf and he ran well for fourth in a big field at York last time. Should be capable of winning from this mark. - 10. Mister BluebirdJ: Jack MitchellT: Heather MainF: 30797-403

VerdictEleven runs since last win in 2023. 15/2, creditable third of 8 in handicap at Goodwood (6f, good to firm) 24 days ago. Now 5 lb below the mark he defied over 7f at Goodwood last summer. Capable of going well. - 7. Marlay ParkJ: Pat CosgraveT: Jim BoyleF: 44124-048

VerdictFour-time C&D winner and another creditable effort over C&D when fourth at the end of May. Not so good at Lingfield since but his record here affords him respect.

VerdictC&D winner. 14/1, eleventh of 14 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Doubts about whether he's at the top of his game right now but this is a drop in grade having contested Class 2/3 events previously this season.
