BOUNCE THE BLUES
Jockey: William Buick Coach: Andrew Balding
Two wins from 15 begins and mixes 7f/1m. Truthful run at Sunset final time behind Potapova and has been to Doncaster twice earlier than when third on this race in 2020 and fifth within the 2021 Doncaster Mile. Maintain up performer would love a robust tempo and may get it.
DIVINE MAGIC
J: Neil Callan T: Marco Botti
Actually should not be adequate for a race like this however ran properly towards the in-form Orbaan at Ascot final time. Clearly hoping to get Black Kind for getting within the body.
NIZAAKA
J: Cieren Fallon T: Jane Chapple-Hyam
Was progressing properly from marks within the 70s till properly overwhelmed by Potapova at Sunset final time. Is perhaps a bit higher on the journey than a mile however onerous to fancy.
NOVEMBA
J: Bouyrzhan Murzabayev T: Peter Schiergen
Solely two wins from 13 begins however elegant kind who received at Group 2 in Dusseldorf final 12 months. A fourth at Royal Ascot behind Saffron Seaside within the Duke of Cambridge was a good effort and if repeated shall be onerous to beat. Often a front-runner though was slowly away when final seen.
ROMANTIC RIVAL
J: Kevin Stott T: George Boughey
One other chasing Black Kind. Received properly at Kempton two runs in the past however hopeless at Ascot final time. Laborious to foretell.
SUNSET BAY
J: Rob Hornby T: Ed Walker
Good wins at Sunset and Newbury final season however properly overwhelmed on this race final 12 months and poor final time though not disgraced on Haydock re-appearance. Lots to search out.
UMM KULTHUM
J: Oisin Orr T: Richard Fahey
As much as this at finest and returned this season with a win at Newmarket. Then outclassed in Group 1 at Royal Ascot earlier than not being overwhelmed far by Flotus over 6f at York. This journey would possibly stretch stamina.
ADAAY IN ASIA
J: Dylan Hogan T: Harry Dunlop
4-race successful spree has seen her mark go from 81 to 98. Raised to this journey final time at York and confirmed a bit extra to attain. This would possibly properly be a category too far however has the successful behavior so not ignored. Additionally will get 4lb from the older horses.
HEREDIA
J: Sean Levey T: Richard Hannon
Appeared a star early season with wins at York after which within the Sandringham at Royal Ascot. Not so good in Listed at Sandown and Group 3 at Goodwood however removed from disgraced. One other who will need a robust gallop at this journey.
Heredia (gold cap) drifts throughout however holds on to win the Sandringham Stakes at Royal Ascot
HONEY SWEET
J: Clifford Lee T: Karl Burke
As soon as a Listed winner at Deauville and at peak not been far off these. Laborious to fancy on current runs however at finest might hit the body.
NECTARIS
J: Ryan Moore T: Jessica Harrington
Irish raider stays properly and never overwhelmed far by Oscula at Deauville final time. Additionally third in an enormous area at Galway. Getting 4lb from the older horses might simply get within the combine.
MATT CHAPMAN’S VERDICT:
This could actually be between Heredia, Novemba and Bounce the Blues. If Novemba will get out and will get a robust gallop (not sure as missed break final time) it might arrange properly for the 2020 third BOUNCE THE BLUES.
