Jockey Colours: Royal blue Notes: Timeform says: In cracking form in Dubai earlier this year, and has held form well since, better than ever when winning Lonsdale Cup at York before runner-up in Irish St Leger. Has to be respected. (Forecast 10.00) 2 (2) 1442-60 AIKEN 34 C BF 5 9 - 7p1 R Hughes 107 b h Selkirk - Las Flores J H M Gosden

Jockey Colours: White, emerald green hoop Notes: Timeform says: Much improved in 2012, landing a 6-timer when winning a Group 2 in France and signing off with a neck second in this race. Not looked the same horse in 2 starts this time around, however. (Forecast 17.00) 3 (9) 21-4274 BIOGRAPHER 36 C 4 9 - 7p1 T E Durcan 109 b c Montjeu - Reflective D R Lanigan

Jockey Colours: Black, yellow cap Notes: Timeform says: Landed Noel Murless Stakes at Ascot a year ago and has improved again this term, runner-up in a 2m listed event at Sandown. Respectable fourth in Doncaster Cup last time but career best needed. (Forecast 17.00) 4 (6) 1-21941 CAUCUS 23 D 6 9 - 7 W Buick 110 b g Cape Cross - Maid To Perfection J H M Gosden

Jockey Colours: White, red braces, black cap Notes: Timeform says: Front runner who has bounced back to his best in cheekpieces on his last 2 starts, winning a 1¾m handicap at Goodwood and a listed race over the same C&D. Worth his place in the field. (Forecast 10.00) 6 (11) 222-425 HIGH JINX (IRE) 13 BF 5 9 - 7t James Doyle 110 b h High Chaparral - Leonara J R Fanshawe

Jockey Colours: Royal blue, yellow striped sleeves, royal blue cap, yellow star Notes: Timeform says: Smart stayer, finding only Times Up too good in Doncaster Cup last 2 years. Last win came in a 12f Newmarket handicap last summer, however, and others perhaps more resolute. Tongue tie back on. (Forecast 19.00) 7 (4) 321215 ROYAL DIAMOND (IRE) 34 7 9 - 7 J P Murtagh 112 b g King's Best - Irresistible Jewel J P Murtagh

Jockey Colours: Royal blue, red chevrons, white and red striped sleeves, red and white quartered cap Notes: Timeform says: Won Irish St Leger last year and has looked as good as ever this term, winning twice. Not so good in Irish St Leger last time but possibly went off too fast. Shouldn’t be overlooked. (Forecast 21.00) 8 (8) 6-57803 SADDLER'S ROCK (IRE) 34 D 5 9 - 7 D P McDonogh 112 b h Sadler's Wells - Grecian Bride J M Oxx

Jockey Colours: Yellow, red chevrons, hooped cap Notes: Timeform says: Won Goodwood Cup last year but form has been very patchy since. Ran one of his best races of 2013 when third in the Irish St Leger last time but far from sure to be in same form now. (Forecast 21.00) 9 (1) 1-60313 TIMES UP 13 D BF 7 9 - 7 C Soumillon 112 b g Olden Times - Princess Genista E A L Dunlop

Jockey Colours: Black, emerald green sleeves, striped cap Notes: Timeform says: Smart stayer for John Dunlop and as good as ever this term, winning Doncaster Cup for second successive year before creditable third in Cadran Cup. Probably doesn't want ground too soft. (Forecast 15.00) 10 (3) 1133-11 ESTIMATE (IRE) 121 CD 4 9 - 4 R L Moore 114 b f Monsun - Ebaziya Sir Michael Stoute

Jockey Colours: Purple, gold braid, scarlet sleeves, black velvet cap, gold fringe Notes: Timeform says: Won the Queen's Vase last term, and has developed into one of the leading stayers this year, winning Sagaro and Ascot Gold Cup. Should still have more to offer after just 7 starts and the one to beat. (Forecast 3.25) 11 4/115-17 PALE MIMOSA (IRE) 34 4 9 - 4 P J Smullen 109 (12) b f Singspiel - Katch Me Katie D K Weld

Jockey Colours: Purple, yellow cross of lorraine, yellow cap Notes: Timeform says: Improved to win 1¾m listed race against the males on her return in June, but just seventh in the Irish St Leger on her only outing since, and looks up against it for all the step up to 2m could suit. (Forecast 21.00) 12 13-2211 EYE OF THE STORM (IRE) 20 D 3 8 - 11 W J Lee 112 (10) ch c Galileo - Mohican Princess A P O'Brien

Jockey Colours: Royal blue, orange disc, striped sleeves and cap Notes: Timeform says: Improved this year, winning listed race at the Curragh last month on first start over 2m, and remains open to plenty of further progress as a stayer. Could surprise. (Forecast 15.00)

TIMEFORM VIEW: Soft ground could place the emphasis on stamina, which should be in the favour of Gold Cup winner Estimate, who is unbeaten in 3 starts at this track and has reportedly had this race as her main end of-season target since missing the Lonsdale Cup. The unexposed Eye of The Storm makes some appeal at a bigger price, and may give the selection most to do.
