Verdict

CASTLE ROCK has been off for over 9 months and sports headgear for the first time but his juvenile form reads very well and a mark of 89 could well underestimate him. He gets the vote over seasoned handicappers Angel Hunter, Sword, and Arctic Dawn, who all arrive at the top of their game.

    Verdict
    Progressed with each start at 2 yrs, confirming debut promise when landing the odds in Newmarket maiden in October before defying penalty there later in month. Absence/first-time headgear is a slight concern but form of those wins has worked out well and opening mark of 89 could underestimate him.

    Verdict
    Back to winning ways at Lingfield in April and largely run with credit since, his latest close second (clear of rest) at Thirsk last week arguably a career best. Should go well again off 2 lb higher.

    Verdict
    Three-time winner last season and has continued on the up this summer, scoring in convincing fashion at Doncaster. Not seen to best effect in the Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot before an excellent sixth of 16 in International there 2 weeks ago, albeit well positioned on that occasion.

    Verdict
    Can be temperamental but he stepped up on stable debut/reappearance when ¾-length third of 20 at York under this rider in June. Decent efforts in defeat both starts since (raced freely in front when fifth in International at Ascot 2 weeks ago) and not taken lightly re-united with this claimer.

    Verdict
    Ready all-the-way winner at York on final start for Andrew Balding last summer (subsequently sold for 190,000 gns). Yet to score in 8 attempts for this yard but is probably in better form than recent form figures suggest (has had no luck with the draw).

    Dual 5f novice winner last year and also a close second in listed races at Sandown and York. However, tame efforts at that level both starts this season so plenty to prove now. Hood applied for handicap debut.

    Made winning debut in novice at Newcastle in November and stepped up on that when ¾-length third under a penalty at Lingfield 2 months later. However, made no impact switched to turf for handicap debut over C&D after 6 months off (had breathing operation during absence).

    Verdict
    Peaked when landing big-field 6f handicap at Haydock off this mark last spring. Shaped well a few times after but ended the season below par and was far too free on his belated return 3 weeks ago.

    Verdict
    Won 3 of his last 4 starts last year and back to form since fitted with headgear, making all under this rider at Chepstow before running at least as well in a much more competitive environment when sixth of 17 at York. Easy to excuse latest run at Glorious Goodwood.
