Verdict

DOUBLE RUSH drops into Listed company after underperforming in the July Cup, but he is better judged on his handicap hat-trick earlier in the season when he looked a stakes winner in waiting, and this looks a good opportunity for him to get back to winning ways. Spycatcher hasn’t been able to show his true form in 2 outings this year but is a classy sort on his day and will appreciate any rain, while America Queen arrives on an upward curve.

3	Low-mileage 4-y-o who has largely gone from strength to strength, completing a hat-trick in good fashion in the 27-runner Wokingham at Royal Ascot in June. Disappointed in July Cup last time but had looked well worth his place at stakes level prior and he's fancied to get back to winning ways here. 1st Pick 3 Double Rush (Ire) Jockey: Shane Foley Trainer: Andrew Balding J: Shane Foley T: Andrew Balding	100	-	-	-	24%	10/3

5	Won a pair of 6f listed races at Doncaster and a Group 3 at Chantilly on soft ground last year. He was disappointing on return before finishing lame at the Curragh, so a leap of faith is required from a betting standpoint, but he is clearly capable of bouncing back, especially if the rain arrives. 2nd Pick 5 Spycatcher (Ire) Jockey: Clifford Lee Trainer: K. R. Burke J: Clifford Lee T: K. R. Burke	99	-	-	-	20%	4/1

7	Got back on the up when demolishing a 10-runner listed sprint at Pontefract last month, coming home 4 lengths clear of Ruby's Angel. This is tougher but she boasts a positive sprinting profile for an in-form yard and looks sure to make her presence. 3rd Pick 7 America Queen (Ire) Jockey: Daniel Tudhope Trainer: Richard Hughes J: Daniel Tudhope T: Richard Hughes	91	-	-	-	15%	6/1
