Prince Livius and Fields Of Green were both good winners of their most recent starts but both have to shoulder 5lb penalties today and are passed over in favour of KILLER LOOKS. The selection has made a pleasing start his career and stayed on really well when trying to register back to back victories last time. Today's step up in trip looks sure to suit and with this faster ground taken as another positive, he can take this.

Top Tip: Killer Looks (3)

This looks good opportunity for GREAT BARRIER REEF to make his first career success a Group-winning one and is taken to land this for trainer Aidan O'Brien. The form of his debut Gimcrack second makes him the clear pick and the fact he was pitched at such a lofty level first time out suggests he is extremely well thought of at home. There is sure to be more to come and he should be hard to beat here. Going Public and Norman Invader were placed in Listed company last time and rate as next best.

TIMARWA has always been highly rated by connections and her two fourth placed efforts behind Peeping Fawn earlier this season make her a leading candidate here. A below par effort in this company last time clearly wasn't her form and with today's faster underfoot conditions sure to see her in a better light, she can take this from recent winner Queen Of France and Many Colours.

Top Tip: Timarwa (10)
Watch out for: Queen of France (8)

Eight Up comes here on a roll having won three of his last four starts but while he remains progressive, this is much tougher and BARON DE'L is preferred. The selection has run some good races in some decent events this term and won in determined fashion over C&D last time. Despite a 5lb rise in the weights he could be worth siding with as he bids to follow-up with recent third Nuremburg another with claims in a trappy looking affiar.

Top Tip: Baron De'l (3)
Watch out for: Eight Up (6)

LISTEN is taken to make a amends for a desperately unlucky second in a Group 2 event last month and land the day's feature. The selection looked a filly of serious potential when landing a Listed event at the first time of asking in June before meeting trouble in running when finishing with real purpose to take second last time. Compensatation awaits and she should prove too strong for recent Group 1 Phoenix Stakes scorer Saoirse Abu and the English raider Albabilia.

Last Updated: 11 Oct 2022 22:06:20

A competitive renewal in prospect with recent C&D winner Itsonlywoody and Satu making plenty of appeal along with the lightly-raced Perpetual Motion who is open to plenty of improvement having landed his maiden on only his second start last time. Preference, however, is for EMILY BLAKE who has landed two handicaps on the bounce, accounting for a useful yardstick in Ghostmilk last time and, despite punishment from the handicapper, could take some stopping at present.

Top Tip: Emily Blake (21)
Watch out for: Perpetual Motion (19)

Last Updated: 11 Oct 2022 22:06:20

Benbaun bids to win this race for the third year in a row and has to be considered having already landed a Group 3 with ease from Moss Vale here this term, but he was well behind DANDY MAN in the Group 2 King's Stand last time out and Tracey Collins' charge gets the nod. Since that second at Royal Ascot, he has mixed in Group 1 company and only found two too good in the Nunthorpe last month. This is less testing. Moss Vale, behind the aforementioned pair at the Royal meeting, has the form in the book to suggest he can go close today but isn't one to rely on.

Top Tip: Dandy Man (2)
Watch out for: Benbaun (1)

Rock Of Rochelle caught the eye when second of 25 on his racecourse debut over C&D last month and it would be no surprise to see him go one better today, but it could pay to take a chance on GREATWALLOFCHINA. Aidan O'Brien's charge failed as favourite in a York maiden first time out but will have learnt from that experience and this doesn't look as tough. Better Built also fared well first time out, while Moiqen and Shining Armour look the pick of the newcomers.

Top Tip: Greatwallofchina (5)
Watch out for: Rock Of Rochelle (12)
