Having produced another career-best triumph over C&D a fortnight ago, All Ways Glamorous must enter calculations in his bid to complete a hat-trick. However, a 5lb higher mark does demand more of the five-year-old, with reopposing sixth BOLO NEIGHS preferred. Ralph Beckett's charge fared best of those racing on the near side that day and may exact his revenge off an unchanged mark. Tuco Salamanca is also of interest, for all that a drop in distance isn't certain to suit.
Top Tip:
Bolo Neighs
(9)
Watch out for:
All Ways Glamorous
(6)
All Ways Glamorous showed a willing attitude when a C&D winner last time and holds obvious claims in his hat trick bid off 5lb higher. However he did get the run of the race that day with Bolo Neighs flying home from a poor position having missed the break. That was Ralph Beckett's gelding's first attempt over the minimum trip since his 2yo days and it did seem to suit. If getting a stronger pace to run at he should get much closer to his re-opposing rival on these revised terms. They may both struggle to defeat top weight KENDALL ROY though who is a Listed winner in Ireland this year. He ran a huge race off a big weight last time when beaten by a well handicapped rival so with conditions to suit and a likely good pace to aim at he is entitled to go close.

You can gain more information by hovering your mouse over the horse name or icons.
MOUNTAIN ROAD relished a greater emphasis on stamina when scoring over 2m at Thirsk 69 days ago. The veteran scored with enough in hand to suggest that a 4lb rise from the assessor is workable and he's relatively lightly raced for his age. Fellow seven-year-old Oneforthegutter lurks on a dangerous mark and he shouldn't be underestimated, while the down-in-distance Lavender Hill Mob showed up well for a long way over 2m4f in the Ascot Stakes in June.
Top Tip:
Mountain Road

Watch out for:
Oneforthegutter
(8)
KILMEADEN is picked to make a winning stable debut. He's been in decent form in Ireland this summer and the dual purpose performer proved he handles a quicker surface last time. He's well treated on his penultimate placed effort and has joined a yard which has excelled with similar types over jumps. Hermetic has shaped well in a trio of starts for his new yard and looks on a dangerous mark judged on his wins in France. They did come on soft though so he will need to prove his ability on this faster ground but if doing so he will be a big player. The largely consistent pair of Pole Star and Shrimp Shady can also make the presence felt with the latter going up only 3lb for a game win last time.

You can gain more information by hovering your mouse over the horse name or icons.
Insanity should appreciate this drop into 0-100 company and is fancied to prove a lot more competitive than his latest effort in the Duke Of Edinburgh at the Royal meeting. However, NIGHT BREEZE boasts a more consistent profile and sets the standard on his recent third in the Chesterfield Cup at Glorious Goodwood. Frances Ethel ended last year's campaign with a good second at Lingfield and William Haggas' mare could also play a part if performing to a similar level on her return.
Top Tip:
Night Breeze
(4)
Watch out for:
Insanity
(2)
Veteran FANTASY BELIEVER proved his stamina for this far last time and should get the race run to suit here with the top weight guaranteeing a good pace to aim at for the hold up performer. The former course winner has dropped back to his last winning mark and has the assistance of Saffie Osborne who rides this track as well as anyone. Last year's winner Night Breeze is 11lb higher this time but he's held his form well in top handicaps this year including at Goodwood last time. If turned out quickly he looks an obvious danger along with the consistent Asgard's Captain who gets the assistance of Ryan Moore. Perhaps the most interesting contender is Frances Ethel whose latest AW run has worked out extremely well. If she is fit for her first run of the year she can also play a part.

THUNDER CALL's winning run may have come to an end when third at Newmarket last time, but that was still an effort full of promise. William Haggas' colt did best of those held up on that occasion and he makes plenty of appeal off the same mark. Red Spells Danger, who was fourth that day, is closely matched with the selection and is an obvious threat once again. May Angel is another to consider.
Top Tip:
Thunder Call
(9)
Watch out for:
Red Spells Danger
(4)
THUNDER CALL was slightly outpaced and left with too much to do in his hat trick bid last time but he wasn't beaten far and gets to race off the same mark here. With the stiffer track in his favour he can continue his progress and confirm placings with Red Spells Danger who has proven admirably consistent in high end handicaps this summer. May Angel has proven he handles a quicker surface recently and the consistent gelding remains unexposed at 6f. He looks on a workable mark and is another who will be suited by the stiff track so should pose a threat.

To give you a quick snapshot of each horse’s form we’ve introduced the following icons which represent the following:
You can gain more information by hovering your mouse over the horse name or icons.
Hoseki merits the utmost respect following a hat-trick in recent months, although a 5lb rise for her latest win over C&D in July demands more from her. With that in mind, preference is for ARCHERS BAY. Marco Botti's colt has been highly tried this year and caught the eye when fourth on his return to handicap company over 1m2f at Newmarket last month. He is likely to relish this step up in trip and a mark of 92 is clearly workable. Others to note are Blue Hercules, Royal Poetry and Level Look.
Top Tip:
Archers Bay
(1)
Watch out for:
Hoseki
(2)
If getting a run Tai Hang Pegasus would take all the beating turning out quickly after an emphatic win at Brighton but he is just a reserve for now. Hoseki looks the obvious place to look having completed a hat trick over C&D last time where she needed every yard to wear down an unexposed rival. She remains open to further progress for the yard which took this last year up 5lb but she is short enough in the market. At a bigger price PIERRE GROSSE looks very interesting returned to handicaps after a solid maiden run last time. His previous placed effort in the Ulster Derby was franked at Galway last week and he's open to further improvement in the first time cheekpieces so is a tentative pick. The inconsistent Ohara had no chance from his track position here last time but is fairly treated on his best form and can also get involved.

To give you a quick snapshot of each horse’s form we’ve introduced the following icons which represent the following:
You can gain more information by hovering your mouse over the horse name or icons.
Cerulean Bay has run well in defeat in some top handicaps this year, including when second in the Golden Mile at Goodwood last time, and he is likely to be in the mix once again. That said, he may have to settle for second behind EBT'S GUARD like he did in this contest 12 months ago. The latter got no luck in running when ninth in the same Goodwood contest eight days ago, but his fourth in the Hunt Cup here in June is a very strong piece of form. Bullet Point has yet to show his best this year but first-time cheekpieces may spark a revival.
Top Tip:
Ebt's Guard
(5)
Watch out for:
Cerulean Bay
(1)
CROWN BOARD looks the solid option having only been narrowly denied by Hickory on the straight track here last time after making his challenge early enough. He gets to race off the same mark which is just 1lb above his last winning one and he should appreciate the slightly sharper round course. Veteran Popmaster has an excellent record at this venue and he's proven his stamina for 1m this year. He arrives in excellent form and if ridden slightly more positively than last time he can throw down the main challenge to the selection. Last year's winner Ebt's Guard is 5lb higher this time and holds no secrets from the handicapper but he usually runs his race so could fill the podium.
