Count Otto and Zaman Jemil both arrive with strong form claims but the ground may not suit either of them. With that in mind, preference is for MUSIC SOCIETY, who was fourth in this race two years ago on soft and he was only beaten half a length into second at Ayr a couple of starts ago. The consistent Monsieur Kodi has made the frame in both appearances since winning at Thirsk in June and is likely to go well once again, while Justcallmepete and Mamillius are others to consider.

ZAMAN JEMIL's Thirsk win is backed up by a punchy timefigure and as a 3-y-o in excellent hands, his profile rather stands out here. Cooperation could do with breaking on terms but he's a big threat on his Haydock run, while stall 14 could be an advantage for Live In The Moment.

Capote's Dream and MONSIEUR KODI should ensure the unexposed 3yo Zaman Jemil doesn't have things all his own way.

SPLENDENT was a comfortable winner over 1m4f at Newbury, scoring by four lengths, and he shaped as if this extra yardage would be no issue. He has been handed a 5lb rise, but that could prove lenient. Sweet William is an obvious danger after victories at Doncaster and, most recently, at Newbury, where he scored comfortably on his handicap debut. He is a stayer on the up and another success could help him sneak into the Ebor field. Hms President, Adjuvant, Omniscient and Post Impressionist are others to consider.

SWEET WILLIAM needs to win this to stand any chance of getting in the Ebor and he might well be up to the task assuming he can cope with much softer ground than he's encountered before. Omniscient is another lightly-raced 4-y-o who likely has more to offer and heads the dangers along with HMS President and Adjuvant, who were 1-2 in a strong Newmarket handicap over this trip earlier in the season.

While lots of these could be in serious each-way contention, the rest may face a stiff task against SWEET WILLIAM.

The Gosdens have enjoyed plenty of success in this race over the years, most recently with the classy Enbihaar in 2019 and 2020, and they are expected to lift this prestigious prize once again with FREE WIND. Having landed the Middleton on her return to action, she was far from disgraced when taking on the boys in the Hardwicke. She sets a lofty standard back against her own sex and can repel the likely challenge of River Of Stars. Luisa Casati ought to relish ground conditions and it would be folly to write her off, while Time Lock is also noted now upped in distance.

FREE WIND was below her best in the Hardwicke at Royal Ascot but she undoubtedly remains one to be positive about now stepping back up in trip and, in the hope underfoot conditions don't catch her out (dam was well proven in the mud) she can get back to winning ways. River of Stars, who finished in a French Group 2 latest, and Time Lock can prove the chief threats.

Facing lesser opposition than at Royal Ascot, FREE WIND can bounce back from that short-priced defeat with a short-priced win today.

ORAZIO looked a sprinter going places earlier in the season with victories at Newmarket and Ascot before running creditably in the Wokingham at the Royal meeting. The ground might have been on the faster side for him on that occasion and the four-year-old doesn't appear to have reached the ceiling of his potential. Apollo One finished second in the aforementioned contest and is expected to be in the mix once again, while others for the shortlist in a typically competitive renewal include Badri, Summerghand and Bielsa.

Conditions were probably too quick for ORAZIO in the Wokingham and, with slower ground on the cards here, the lightly-raced 4-y-o is taken to regain the winning thread. He left the strong impression that there's a big prize in him when landing handicaps at Newmarket and Ascot during the spring, and the booking of the in-form Jim Crowley adds to his appeal. Albasheer and the selection's stablemate Tanmawwy are feared most in that order of preference, while King's Lynn is also shortlisted.

Kevin Ryan holds a strong hand with BIELSA (nap) marginally preferred to stablemate Aleezdancer. Orazio is best of the rest.

NEW BUSINESS raced keenly when attempting to make all at Sandown and faded into fourth, with Scholarship a couple of positions behind. The son of Sea The Stars has been dropped 1lb and is only having his fifth career run so if he can settle better, he ought to go close. Thunder Ball was a place behind Urban Sprawl when fourth in the Britannia at Royal Ascot but can reverse that form, with the latter having something to prove following an underwhelming Newmarket display subsequently.

A trappy contest which can go the way of CHARTWELL HOUSE, who found only a fellow 3-y-o too strong at Haydock 4 weeks ago and William Knight's charge can regain the winning thread reunited with Neil Callan. New Business couldn't find the expected improvement on his first foray into handicaps at Sandown last month, but his handler is in fine form so he could give the selection most to think about, ahead of Urban Sprawl.

The runner with the most potential could be NEW BUSINESS who had a possible excuse when only fourth at Sandown last month.

Individualism is a half-brother to top stayers Subjectivist and Sir Ron Priestley, but displayed enough pace to bustle up a previous winner over this trip at Ayr. Devil's Point and Empire Of Art also showed enough on debut to warrant an interest, but Andrew Balding has won the last two renewals of this so a chance is taken on CELTIC WARRIOR, who cost 125,000gns and is preferred to stablemate Royal Supremacy. Stratocracy looks the pick from an interesting Richard Hannon team. Like Charlie Hills' newcomer Miletus, he has a Champagne Stakes entry.

INDIVIDUALISM shaped with loads of promise when runner-up on his debut at Ayr last month and would have arguably done even better had he been held onto for a bit longer (good headway to lead over 1f out), so he's fully expected to confirm that promise and get off the mark at the second time of asking. This does contain several interesting newcomers though, perhaps none more so than Stratocracy and Miletus, who both hold a Group 2 entry in the Champagne Stakes. Devil's Point is also feared.

The biggest form contenders are INDIVIDUALISM and Devil's Point. Several of the newcomers are interesting.

A fairly open contest in which preference is for ONE STEP BEYOND. The six-year-old recorded his best turf run to date when registering a staying-on success over a mile at Ascot last month. He is now rated 6lb higher for that win, but that may not be enough to halt his progression with the step up in trip expected to suit. Mostawaa arrives seeking a four-timer and can give the selection plenty to think about, while Liberty Lane is another with claims.

ONE STEP BEYOND is firmly on the up and had something to spare at Ascot last time, so he's worth a chance to follow up for all that this is a more competitive environment. Mostawaa arrives on a four-timer and is likely to give another good account, while Dual Identity would be worthy of consideration if taking his chance (engaged here on Friday).

The removal of headgear could be a positive for GREATGADIAN and he's well handicapped on form as recent as April.
