ROYAL VELVET (3.00 Newmarket, nap).
She has succeeded in both her outings with William Buick in the saddle, and the Norwegian will be steering her again. He led her to victory at the July course earlier this summer and clinched another win in a challenging 18-runner race at York in her last outing. With expected fast pace, stepping back a furlong should pose no issues, especially since she thrives on quick ground.
KOPA KILANA (5.23 Perth, nb)
Demonstrated some of his best form recently, finishing just a length behind here 17 days ago. The handicapper has kept his rating steady, and trainer Olly Murphy is currently on a successful run, particularly with champion Sean Bowen on board.
LIVE YOUR DREAM (4.10 Newmarket, treble)
Typically performs well after a break and should thrive in this stamina test. Oisin Murphy and Saeed Bin Suroor boast an impressive winning partnership.
MALACHY’S WISH (6.30 Newcastle, Lucky 15)
Displayed notable improvement when scoring at Ffos Las earlier this month. There is significant potential for further development, and he is a strong stayer.
