Himalya has finished second in two big handicaps recently but has not won since his debut two years ago. Sir Gerry was well held in the Group 1 Golden Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot but won a Listed race at Salisbury before that and can be given a chance here. It could pay to side, however, with last year's winner, KNOT IN WOOD, who lost his way last back end but showed with his fourth in the Wokingham Stakes at Royal Ascot that he's returning to form.
Last year's winner Knot In Wood looks sure to make a bold bid to defend his crown after looking as good as ever in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot, but he could find the lightly-raced Himalya blocking his path.
Has won nine races from 5f to 7f on ground varying from good to firm to soft and on the all-weather. Won on his latest outing when 5-1fav over this course and distance (good to firm) last month, beating Noodles Blue Boy by 3/4l. Has also won at Thirsk this season.

Damika is chasing a hat-trick after 6f wins at Thirsk and here but is up 5lb and in class. Goodwood winner Kerrys Requiem scored with enough in hand to suggest she might defy her 6lb rise in the weights but preference is for POET'S PLACE, an unlucky loser last time over 6f at Doncaster. Successful on his first two starts on the fibresand at Southwell, he was going well on his turf debut only to be hampered twice close home. He can take this with a clear run.
Poet's Place didn't get a clear run when losing his unbeaten record at Doncaster recently and is worth another chance to show his true worth. Jonny Mudball has been knocking on the door in similar races and looks sure to give another good account, as does the rejuvenated Damika.
Successful at 1m 4f and 2m on good to firm ground. Beaten 18l behind Akmal at 13-2 when last of 9 on his latest outing in the Group 2 Blue Square Henry II Stakes at Sandown over 2m (good to firm) last month.

He has won four times from 1m 4f to 2m on ground varying from good to firm to heavy. A winner at 6-1 at York over 2m (good) on his latest outing earlier this month, beating The Last Alzao by 3 1/2l. Carries a 5lb penalty today for that success. Has won twice at York this season.

With any stamina doubts removed following his 2m win at York this month, the hat-trick seeking DEAUVILLE FLYER looks the one to be on here. He carries a 5lb penalty for that success and is up in class but won with enough in hand to suggest he is capable of following up. Southern raiders have a good record in this race and Chester winner Mamlook, sent up from Devon by David Pipe, looks a live contender while Newmarket scorer Chiberta King and Overturn, also from a top jumping yard, can be given chances.
Having crept in at the bottom of the weights, Deauville Flyer has plenty going for him, still on the up after an impressive win over a similar trip at York last time. Overturn is potentially well handicapped, but is not a certain stayer, so Bernie The Bolt and Spirit Is Needed are selected as the alternatives.

A winner at 7f on the all-weather. Beaten 9l behind Bated Breath at 8-1 when eighth of 9 on his latest outing at Pontefract over 6f (good to firm) earlier this month.
Of the two previous winners of this race in today's field, Game Lad, who scored at Carlisle two starts ago makes, most appeal off a handy mark. Catterick winner Hajoum wasn't far away in fourth in a valuable Royal Ascot handicap and should be thereabouts today but slight preference is for CAMEROONEY, despite his 6lb penalty. He's won five of his seven starts this year and won with enough in hand last time over 1m at Carlisle to suggest he can handle the penalty and the step up in class.
Neither Game Lad nor Camerooney are doing anything wrong at present but, at the likely prices, it's worth chancing Horatio Carter, who shaped well on his return and is handicapped to win the race for a second successive year.

Dortmund has finished a close second in each of his two starts so far and has little to find to land a race like this while King Of Aquitaine, second at Ripon this month, is a progressive sort who should be thereabouts. It's worth siding, however, with ARABIAN STAR, who was only fourth over this trip at Salisbury last time but that was in much better company than his first two efforts. Back down in class today, he can open his account for Mick Channon, who landed this contest last year.
Dortmund has achieved more than enough to think an ordinary maiden is well within his grasp and he should make no mistake here. Arabian Star looks a solid proposition for placepotters, with King of Aquitaine also likely to finish up there.

Kingsdale Orion won this last year off a 2lb higher mark and has shown signs recently of returning to form. Tepmokea scored over this trip at Ripon last time but only got home by a neck and may struggle with another 3lb to carry today. Preference is for PENDRAGON, who landed a hat-trick on the all-weather at Southwell before two near-misses on turf. He was a close second over 1m 3f at Carlisle this month following a short break and can go one better over this trip and with that run under his belt.
Pendragon has done little but improve since joining Brian Ellison and is sure to go well if over his exertions at Carlisle on Wednesday. Tepmokea is going the right way for Richard Fahey and is another to consider, along with Persian Peril.

Be Invincible, a winner on his debut at Windsor in April, turned in his best effort since when second over this trip at Newbury but is up in class today. Antoniola, who scored at Doncaster last October, has claims on that effort but has yet to sparkle this term. It's worth sticking with LAW TO HIMSELF, who won a Ripon maiden last month a lot more cosily than the winning distance would suggest. He looks well weighted on his handicap debut and should be open to further improvement.
Be Invincible should go well on the back of his second at Newbury, but Antoniola has been better than the result on all starts this term and can take advantage of a mark which is now just 1 lb higher than when he was successful in a competitive Doncaster nursery last autumn.
