Preview:

Toromona and ALBERT CAMUS both shaped encouragingly when second and third respectively behind the smart Maximal at Sandown earlier this month. The latter has one and a half lengths to find on that form, but given he missed the break, raced keenly and was short of room early in the straight, there is reason to think he can turn the tables en route to landing the spoils in this event. There are also some interesting newcomers in the line-up, Royal Champion and Vitruve to name but two.

Forecast:

1.75 LOST IN SPACE (IRE); 2.25 LAST SUNSET (IRE); 5.00 MARK OF THE MAN (IRE); 6.00 LIGHTENING SHORE; 6.50 OLYMPIC THEATRE.

Preview:

LOST IN SPACE is a colt on the improve and impressed with 7f victories at Lingfield and on the July course here last month. Stretching out an extra furlong could potentially unlock another gear and he is taken to defy an 8lb hike in the ratings. Last Sunset is an all-weather winner and made a pleasing turf debut when touched off in a novice contest at Ascot last time. She switches to the handicap ranks with Frankie Dettori aboard and must enter calculations, while Mark of The Man cannot be ruled out either.

Preview:

Quickstep Lady certainly wasn't winning out of turn at Goodwood and she warrants plenty of respect making her handicap debut off a light weight, while Betsey Trotter arrives following a comfortable Thirsk success and should be competitive off 6lb higher if in the same mood. However, this represents a big drop in class for STORMY GIRL, who impressively won a Listed contest over this trip before a creditable fifth in Group 3 company over 7f, and she could give weight and a beating to these rivals.

0.91 LA BARROSA (IRE); 2.75 YAZAMAN (IRE); 8.00 QAADER (IRE); VENTURA TORMENTA (IRE); 10.00 DARK LION (IRE); 11.00 AND BETTER OTHERS.

Preview:

LA BARROSA left a lasting impression when scoring on debut at Ascot earlier this month for Charlie Appleby and the 750,000gns colt is fancied to relish this step up in class. The son of Lope de Vega impressed plenty of paddock judges in the preliminaries before showing a professional attitude to strike 20 days ago, and although rattling fast ground would be a potential issue given his breeding, he might have enough class to cope with it. Yazaman has been frustrating to follow this season but has placed in a brace of Group 2 events, while French Group 2 winner Ventura Tormenta is another name well worth noting.

Forecast:

1.20 MILDENBERGER; 2.00 WITHHOLD; 5.50 GHOSTWATCH (IRE); 7.50 RANCH HAND; 11.00 AND BETTER OTHERS.

Preview:

Ghostwatch was disappointing in the Ebor last month but should be suited by this return to better ground and a smaller field under William Buick. Ranch Hand was an impressive sixth in the York showpiece, but he was far enough behind WITHHOLD (second) when finishing fourth at Salisbury recent and might struggle to reverse that form. The selection is fancied to enjoy this sounder surface and could get an easy lead under Jason Watson in what is expected to be a tactically-run affair. Mildenberger is another prominent runner but most of his best recent efforts have come on the all-weather.

0.67 GRAND BAZAAR; 4.50 RIDGEWAY (FR); 5.50 HAWRIDGE FLYER; KALOOR.

Preview:

GRAND BAZAAR wasn't at his best at Ascot earlier this month, but the ground went against the three-year-old on that day and he would be tough to stop here if running to his official rating of 91. Frankie Dettori also takes over now, and the Golden Horn colt can get his career back on track. Ridgeway is another who had the surface to blame when down the field at Bath last month, while Hawridge Flyer could take advantage of receiving 10lb from Kaloor to claim third spot.

Preview:

King Ragnar is a consistent performer who should go well but he may find one or two too good this afternoon judging by his previous efforts off this mark. With that in mind, preference is for FIRST WINTER, who returned to winning ways at Sandown last month and the second and third from that contest have both won since. Off just a 3lb higher mark this son of Dubawi could take plenty of stopping once again today. Scottish Summit failed to fire at York last time but it is far too soon to be writing him off.

Forecast:

1.63 ZORAN; 1.88 BOTTOM BAY; 6.50 CAEN NA COILLE (USA); 7.00 FRENCH RIVIERA (FR); VOICE OF CALM.

Preview:

Bottom Bay has to be respected having won twice at Beverley earlier in the year but the marginal preference is for ZORAN. Hugo Palmer's colt has filled second place in both of his previous outings in handicap company and those performances suggest that he remains on a workable mark. All of the remainder have claims but French Riviera is arguably the pick of them.
