Did well to win on handicap debut at Goodwood and the 4lb rise was a small price to pay
21 (3)	Volterra b J:Neil Callan T:Kevin Ryan	J:Neil Callan T:Kevin Ryan	124	—	431-1	91	112	96	48d	—	—	+12	23.6	7/1 13%
Raised 9lb for Newmarket success in May but hard to gauge the ceiling of his ability
23 (15)	Mickley b J:Callum Rodriguez T:Edward Bethell	J:Callum Rodriguez T:Edward Bethell	123	—	43-11	90	111	104	20d	—	—	+3	12.9	8/1 11%
Impressed at Doncaster on handicap debut; improving gelding with his tail up
18 (25)	Dashing Darcey b J:Silvestre De Sousa T:Roger Varian	J:Silvestre De Sousa T:Roger Varian	125	—	1-2341	92	113	98	12d	—	—	+11	20	11/1 8%
Arrives here hot as it was his best form when quickening clear at Haydock (6lb lower)
9 (19)	Involvement b J:Callum Shepherd T:Simon & Ed Crisford	J:Callum Shepherd T:Simon & Ed Crisford	129	—	12-32	96	113	96	26d	—	—	+7	13.2	12/1 8%
Lightly raced but harshly raised 6lb for coming up short on handicap debut at Haydock
5 (22)	Starlore b J:Richard Kingscote T:Sir Michael Stoute	J:Richard Kingscote T:Sir Michael Stoute	131	—	149-47	98	114	81	26d	—	—	+7	13.7	14/1 7%
Only seventh on handicap debut but was close up after finding trouble in running
1 (23)	King's Gamble b J:Daniel Tudhope T:Ralph Beckett	J:Daniel Tudhope T:Ralph Beckett	135	—	13-2	102	108	102	19d	—	—	+12	20.5	11/1 8%
Has some class about him but topweights have a poor record in the Britannia
24 (16)	Skukuza b J:William Buick T:Ed Dunlop	J:William Buick T:Ed Dunlop	123	—	23-621	90	113	90	34d	—	—	+6	11.4	16/1 6%
Made up his ground takingly at Newmarket; this big-field scenario should suit him well
25 (31)	Native Warrior b J:James Doyle T:K R Burke	J:James Doyle T:K R Burke	123	—	32-41	90	111	42	30d	—	—	+6	11.4	20/1 5%
Bossed a Nottingham maiden from the front; brings lots of potential into handicaps
28 (26)	The Camden Colt ch J:Sean Levey T:Richard Hannon	J:Sean Levey T:Richard Hannon	122	—	052-23	89	113	102	48d	—	—	+7	10.8	25/1 4%
Has solid form in 1m handicaps at Newmarket but does look vulnerable to improvers
13 (20)	Watcha Matey b J:Colin Keane T:Hugo Palmer	J:Colin Keane T:Hugo Palmer	126	—	310-11	93	112	97	19d	—	—	+8	11.7	25/1 4%
2-2 since being gelded but has shot up the weights and that spells danger at this level
22 (2)	Air Commander b J:Ryan Moore T:A P O'Brien	J:Ryan Moore T:A P O'Brien	123	v	26-163	90	111	80	32d	—	—	+6	11.6	25/1 4%
Already beaten in two handicaps and would appear to need help from the new headgear
31 (32)	Lautrec b J:Benoit De La Sayette T:John & Thady Gosden	J:Benoit De La Sayette T:John & Thady Gosden	121	b	1-42	88	113	84	34d	—	—	+14	17.6	28/1 3%
1m maiden winner who ran a solid race on handicap debut latest; likely has more to give
3 (27)	Follow Me b J:Shane Foley T:Ross O'Sullivan	J:Shane Foley T:Ross O'Sullivan	133	—	445-11	100	109	102	26d	—	—	+9	13.7	28/1 3%
Useful in France and even better in two Irish runs; high mark looks warranted
2 (28)	Whip Cracker b J:Jim Crowley T:Richard Hughes	J:Jim Crowley T:Richard Hughes	134	—	21-23	101	112	92	48d	—	—	+11	13.5	40/1 2%
Fair shout, even off this mark, if returning to the form of his Listed second at Newmarket
15 (1)	Cogitate b J:Hollie Doyle T:Charles Hills	J:Hollie Doyle T:Charles Hills	126	—	15-2	93	111	80	92d	—	—	+13	16.7	28/1 3%
Unexposed and suspicion that he's been kept for this; scopey sort and bred for this far
17 (33)	Mission To Moon b J:Oisin Murphy T:Roger Varian	J:Oisin Murphy T:Roger Varian	125	—	210-12	92	112	95	20d	—	—	+9	11.2	33/1 3%
Second against his elders last time at Epsom, perhaps his best form yet; stamina doubt
29 (12)	Monkey Island ch J:Harry Davies T:Brian Meehan	J:Harry Davies T:Brian Meehan	122	—	70-1	89	107	88	34d	—	—	+17	20.6	28/1 3%
Gelded before showing massive improvement in his novice win; dangerously unexposed
8 (8)	Blue Lemons b J:Jamie Spencer T:Richard Hannon	J:Jamie Spencer T:Richard Hannon	131	—	37-624	98	112	104	26d	—	—	+9	13.1	33/1 3%
Has useful form but was below his best last time and now 1-6; others are more intriguing
16 (5)	Cracking Gold ch J:Rossa Ryan T:Clive Cox	J:Rossa Ryan T:Clive Cox	125	—	1124	92	112	97	55d	—	—	+20	22.6	40/1 2%
Compiled a solid record in his four starts and could benefit from a test of this nature
20 (30)	Arctic Thunder b J:David Probert T:Andrew Balding	J:David Probert T:Andrew Balding	125	—	5-141	92	109	51	41d	—	—	+9	11.1	50/1 2%
7f course winner but the 7lb rise could be an overreaction and may find him out
12 (9)	Son Of Man b J:David Egan T:Jane Chapple-Hyam	J:David Egan T:Jane Chapple-Hyam	126	—	735-02	93	112	81	11d	—	—	+9	11.2	66/1 1%
Ran well last time behind one who got loose on the lead over Goodwood's 7f
11 (17)	Dragon Leader ch J:Kieran Shoemark T:Clive Cox	J:Kieran Shoemark T:Clive Cox	128	—	121-30	95	112	55	26d	—	—	+10	11.6	80/1 1%
Good 2yo at about 6f; has not convinced this year at 7f and has further to go this time
30 (11)	Sir Les Patterson b J:Billy Loughnane T:Harry Eustace	J:Billy Loughnane T:Harry Eustace	121	—	31-10	88	109	31	26d	—	—	+8	9.9	80/1 1%
Came along well on the AW and soft ground was perhaps an issue on turf/handicap debut
10 (18)	Bobsleigh b J:Charles Bishop T:Eve Johnson Houghton	J:Charles Bishop T:Eve Johnson Houghton	129	—	16950-	96	110	100	302d	—	—	+13	13.7	125/1 1%
Useful 2yo before losing his way; absent ten months and unraced beyond 6f; risky
7 (10)	Watch My Tracer gr J:Hayley Turner T:George Scott	J:Hayley Turner T:George Scott	131	h	93-106	98	110	63	32d	—	—	+11	12.2	125/1 1%
Others are probably better handicapped and this stiff 1m could stretch him anyway
14 (21)	Vercors b J:Aurelien Lemaitre T:F Chappet	J:Aurelien Lemaitre T:F Chappet	126	p	4-1281	93	112	-	30d	—	—	+10	11	150/1 1%
Progressive French raider but all his competitive turf form is on much slower ground
6 (6)	Cuban Tiger b J:Clifford Lee T:K R Burke	J:Clifford Lee T:K R Burke	131	—	12175	98	111	90	55d	—	—	+19	21	100/1 1%
Listed winner on the AW but now has to stage a revival in a tough handicap
26 (13)	Safwan b J:Edward Greatrex T:Ralph Beckett	J:Edward Greatrex T:Ralph Beckett	122	—	314513	89	104	-	43d	—	—	+21	22	150/1 1%
Dual French winner; unraced on ground this fast and handicap mark could be a tough one
NR (24)	Bergamasco b J:NON-RUNNER T:Jack W Davison	J:NON-RUNNER T:Jack W Davison	132	—	35-115	99	108	-	75d	—	—	—	12.3	—
Non-runner

Free-going sort; ran respectably in his handicaps at Chester (7.5f) and Epsom (1m2f)
