Hallgarten And Novum Wines Handicap

Completed a hat-trick, all at Newmarket's July course over 6f on good to firm, with her hard-fought win five weeks ago; dropped away having forced the pace at Newmarket on Thursday; needs to bounce back quickly.

Things clicked for him when beating 11 rivals in a Class 4 at Windsor (6f, good) 19 days ago; only seventh of ten at Newmarket last week but he was short of room for a sustained period at a crucial stage; could bounce back with a good run if stall 1 is no hindrance.

Useful 2yo; satisfactory seasonal return at Newmarket in May but he hasn't fired in two starts since (gelded before latest); drops into a 0-90 and still has time to fulfil his promise after just seven starts.

Strong form in defeat as a 2yo; bolted up, albeit in a weak race, at Salisbury in May, but lesser efforts have followed in hot handicaps at Royal Ascot and Newmarket since; gelded during his 11-week absence and a 5lb drop in the weights helps too; dangerous mark now.

Veteran who showed he retained a chunk of ability when flashing home for second in the Ayr Bronze Cup eight days ago (6f, soft); 3l clear of the others in the stands' side group on that occasion so a 3lb rise is perfectly fair; won this race 12 months ago off 1lb lower and he is high on the list, for all drying ground will suit others more.
