Verdict

Not much went right for INFRAAD on this month's handicap debut at Chester and he appeals as being well treated off his current mark. Hatteen posted an improved performance when comfortably winning a 1m4f novice at Doncaster and could be a big danger, while Cannes (third choice) and Tierra Del Toro should be capable of much better than they showed at Royal Ascot.[Ben Hutton]

Runner-up twice in a row (1m2f, good; including behind Bay Royale) before showing improved form for the step up in trip and getting off the mark at the fifth attempt in a novice at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) three weeks ago; he was impressive last time and is just the type of 3yo from this yard to keep on progressing; firmly in calculations on handicap debut.

Won 1m2f maiden at Pontefract (1m2f, good) in April on third start and he was third on recent handicap debut at Chester (10.3f, good) where not much went right, as he was slowly away, failed to settle and denied a clear run before staying on strongly; this close relation to Group 1 winner Nezwaah could be quite a bit better than his current mark, especially now at 1m4f.

Runner-up to notable rivals on first two starts before winning 1m4f maiden at Leopardstown (good) in May; well beaten when favourite on handicap debut in the King George V Stakes at Royal Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) but he raced in the rear and things didn't go his way tactically; Irish stable won this last year and he might be worth another chance.

Won at Nottingham (1m2f, good) in April on second start and runner-up in novice there (1m2f, good to soft) in May when last seen; he's not obviously well treated off his opening mark but this 220,000gns yearling is bred to be suited by 1m4f and is open to further improvement; wears a first-time tongue-tie; one to watch in the betting.

Merely ninth of 19 in the King George V Stakes at Royal Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) but he failed to settle and prior to that he kept on for a good third in the London Gold Cup at Newbury (1m2f, good) on his handicap and seasonal debut, shaping as though 1m4f could be right up his street; retains potential at this trip and could be a contender if settling better.

Third of 14 on handicap debut at York (1m4f, good) in May and the form of his subsequent second of four at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) has worked out well; sold out of George Boughey's yard for £170,000 last month and he's in with an each-way shout on this first run for Ian Williams.

Beaten just a neck at Pontefract (1m4f, good) last month on his second start before 5l fourth of eight to Hatteen at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm); he's 8lb better off with the winner for this handicap debut and further improvement is possible, but it's needed in this warm contest and there's a suspicion he may appreciate a longer trip.

Prominent racer who was runner-up in Chepstow novice (1m2f, good to firm) in May on his third start and bounced back from heavy defeat in Royal Ascot handicap (80-1) when going close at Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) this month; could give another good account but others may have greater potential.

Capitalised on a reduced mark at Thirsk (1m4f, good to firm) on July 1 and he followed up at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) ten days later; clearly in good heart but those wins came in five-runner, Class 4 handicaps and this is a much sterner test of his credentials.
