9/2
Smart performer seeking a hat-trick in this. Wasn't seen to best effect when down the field in Saval Beg Levmoss Stakes at Leopardstown last month but likely to be back to his best up in trip here.

Useful hurdler who isn't far off that level on the Flat and was back to form when second at Beverley. This looks a tricky assignment, though.

2/1
Useful hurdler who is still unexposed on the Flat and shaped well when third in Saval Beg Levmosss Stakes at Leopardstown. Open to improvement up in trip and worth chancing under Ryan Moore.

Fair hurdler but his Flat form is only modest and faces a stiff task in this company.

Was never travelling in the Chester Cup on return having won it in 2021 but is a class act if he's able to bounce back in first-time cheekpieces. Well respected.

3/1
Useful dual-purpose operator who landed the Cesarewitch last season. Not disgraced when fifth in listed company at the Curragh on return and could take a hand if he gets the trip.

9/1
Ran with credit in the Ascot Stakes Handicap earlier in the week and has a good record at this meeting (won that race in 2019 before back-to-back placings in this). Poor strike rate but no forlorn hope.

Won twice on AW earlier this year and back on the scoresheet at Goodwood on penultimate outing. Creditable third in a handicap at Goodwood last time but needs to improve upped markedly in trip to feature in this.

Useful form, including when placed in 2 listed races at Chester last year. Respectable fourth in Bronte Cup at York last month and she should get the longer trip.

Forecasts

Dawn Rising (2/1), Run For Oscar (3/1), Stratum (9/2), The Grand Visir (9/1), Typewriter (10/1), Falcon Eight (10/1), Goshen (14/1), Coltor (20/1), First Emperor (20/1), Estacas (40/1)

Verdict

DAWN RISING has displayed plenty of talent over hurdles and is firmly expected to improve for this longer trip, so he takes marginal preference over Stratum, who is going for a hat-trick in this. Falcon Eight has plenty of class and should come on for his rather laboured effort in the Chester Cup.
