Jakajaro began with two victories before failing to win any of the past four encounters, with the five-year-old being saddled by Robert Cowell. American Affair and Mission Central are operating at a similar price, with the former running for Jim Goldie and there has been a recent win.

Time For Sandals runs for Harry Eustace in this race and may be able to take advantage of a weight deficit. The four-year-old has produced a couple of smart recent performances and the first of these was a third-placed effort in a field of fifteen. That came as a 14/1 shot at Goodwood when the charge was less than a length off the pace which was a hugely encouraging performance.
Then came a showdown at York where the 25/1 shot ran really well. The horse was regarded as a big outsider at the Knavesmire in the Nunthorpe Stakes although it was a solid effort to hit the frame. Having been denied a clear run on more than one occasion in that race, the signs are pretty positive when it comes to this particular race.
Comanche Brave has recorded two wins from three appearances and looks to be the worthy favourite. Donnacha O’Brien saddles a runner who won at the Curragh towards the end of May, with that coming before a seventh-placed effort in a field of eighteen at Royal Ascot. It was a decent effort in the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes before landing a win in the Dubai July Cup Stakes.
Jakajaro runs for Robert Cowell and won at York in the middle of May, with the 14/1 shot having claimed a victory over five furlongs. Since then it’s been a mixed bag although it was a gallant effort at Royal Ascot in the King Charles III Stakes. More recently, there was a fairly poor showing at Goodwood at the end of July which might put punters off.
