OPPORTUNITY finished powerfully when fourth debuting at Nottingham on sole start. A 475,000 guineas yearling and brother to 1m-1m4f winner Zagato, he shaped with plenty of promise, following a sluggish start.

He was notably green at times and was positioned furthest from the nearside rail. There could be big improvement to come - especially with his trainer among the winners.

GAELIC WARRIOR can put Willie Mullins into an unassailable lead in the UK trainer’s championship. The Susannah Ricci-trained four-time Grade One winner, including over fences last time, is tough to oppose. He relished the rise to 3m1f to win powerfully at Aintree, earlier in the month, negating the quicker conditions.

A reproduction of that effort would be good enough to land this easier prize - he is at least 8lb higher rated than his rivals - and likely danger Pic D’Orhy saves his best for Ascot, which would be a concern at this tricky circuit.

SORCELEUR appears to be a well-handicapped individual, from an official rating of 118. A dual winner over hurdles on good ground, the Saint Des Saints gelding finished an eyecatching 9th over track and trip, in the competitive Imperial Cup Handicap.

He ran on well from a long way back that day, indicating he may have more to come, especially dropping 3lb in the weights. 

DIVINE LIBRA is one of the more interesting runners, despite racing on seasonal reappearance. The Dark Angel five-year-old grey, has won fresh in the past and has some fine pieces of 7f form in the bank.

He finished a good 6th in the Buckingham Palace Stakes Handicap at Royal Ascot last season, behind English Oak. Better off in the weights with that rival here, it would be realistic for him to finish much closer here. 

AFLOAT ran a hugely eye-catching seasonal reappearance at Leicester. The daughter of Sea The Moon travelled powerfully throughout, sporting a first-time tongue-tie. She was repeatedly denied a clear passage down the home straight, and once in the clear, the race was over.

A drop to 1m2f should help - especially seeing as she’s won twice at this journey - and she is to be seriously respected, granted a smooth trip.

O’MOORE PARK is certainly one of the more unexposed chases, following just five efforts over fences. The Susannah Ricci-owned Walk In The Park gelding made a poor start to his chase career, falling on two occasions, but put that right with a strong 3rd in Grade Two company at Cheltenham last month.

The winner that day, Caldwell Potter, has subsequently boosted that form by winning at Aintree. He ran a fine 2nd over a shorter trip at Cheltenham recently, with the rise in journey here anticipated to aid his chance. The quick ground shouldn’t pose an issue - he won a point-to-point on a good surface.
