1

Naamoos

Progressive winner of two decent handicaps in April. Struggled at higher level since. First run beyond 1600m. Not ruled out.

2

Aerion Power

Progressive and unlucky runner-up when raised to 2000m 12 days ago. Good chance.

3

Qaader

Running respectably this season over 1600m but needs step up to 2000m to be a help.

4

Alfaadhel

Won two small races before midfield finish in good handicap over 2000m at Royal Ascot. Needs plenty of improvement.

5

King Frankel

Rising up handicap since last won in April. Last on latest outing. Unattractively handicapped and unlikely winner.

6

Mr Excellency

Has improved since stepped up to 2000m. Won last two races, one a three runner event. Has a fair chance.

7

Dingle

Returning from break when finished midfield in 1600m handicap. Not well handicapped nor certain to stay the trip. Unlikely winner.

8

Patient Dream

Improving and won fair handicap over 2000m last month. Reasonably handicapped and not ruled out.

9

Taraashoq

Won novice race over 1700m nicely on third run. Fairly handicapped and should stay 2000m. Interesting.

10

Forest Falcon

Very well handicapped on April form behind Naamoos then Aerion Power over 1600m. Gone backwards since and hard to support.

11

Fast Steps

Well held off today’s handicap mark in latest two runs over this trip. An unlikely winner.

12

Pure Bubbles

Almost landed first win from six tries in 2000m handicap this month. An unlikely winner.
