9/4

Comment: 650,000euros yearling; clear promise with his two frame efforts last summer and he found improvement after a gelding operation when keeping on well to beat his 15 rivals at Doncaster (1m, good) last month; still has plenty of potential and he's an interesting contender upped in trip on handicap debut.

Comment: Stuck in the mud when favourite for an Italian Group 2 on his final 2yo start but firmly back on the up with his two runner-up efforts in handicaps this season; there wasn't much separating the first four at York (10.3f, good) last time but he's only 1lb higher here and should be in the thick of things again.

Comment: Made it third-time lucky when winning Chelmsford novice (1m2f, AW) in May and he followed up on handicap/turf debut at Haydock (1m4f, good) four weeks later; that latest form has taken some knocks but he scored in good style from off the steady pace and is open to more improvement; respected up 7lb.

Comment: Had a blip at Musselburgh in April but has form figures of 21121 in his other runs and that latest win was at Redcar (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago; that was a good opportunity but this step back up in trip is no problem and a 5lb rise looks fair enough; respected for yard that has won this five times in the last ten years.

Comment: The most exposed runner in the line-up but he's been progressive in handicaps and completed a double with his strong finish at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft) last month; up another 5lb but he did well to overcome trouble last time and is now 2-3 on turf; Ryan Moore booked; major chance.

Comment: Won on debut at Newcastle (7f, AW) in February and he's gone close in two of his three runs since, including after a slow start on handicap debut at Musselburgh (1m1f, good; blinkers added) last month; up 3lb but that latest form has been boosted by the third since and he should have more to offer.

Comment: Made it 2-3 when staying on strongly to assert late on as 5-4 favourite in a novice at Southwell (1m4f, AW) in April; useful RPR with that convincing success but he was tailed off when switched to a Listed event at Goodwood (1m3f, good) in May; still unexposed but has a bit to prove after that heavy defeat and this is a highly competitive race for handicap debut.

Comment: £160,000 breeze-up purchase who belied her 100-1 odds with close sixth in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) last time, improving markedly on debut effort and shaping as if this extra furlong will suit; possibilities with another step forward plausible.

Comment: His brother Cross Counter won the 2m Melbourne Cup; never posed the slightest threat when upped to 1m6f at Royal Ascot (good to firm) last time but he was drawn wide and ran on late from the rear into seventh of 16, recording his best RPR; this race is a bit less competitive and his previous success has come when ridden much more prominently.

Comment: Had a good summer over about 1m4f last term, including one race on good to firm; close fourth at Haydock on penultimate start was a reminder of that, before he was rather disappointing in a three-runner race at Pontefract; this third attempt beyond 1m4f could be worth a go.

Comment: Reverted to Flat for new yard early this year and won three AW handicaps (1m6f/2m); given a wind operation (his second) in May and Northumberland Plate performance at Newcastle (2m, AW) 13 days ago was an interesting one, as he made smooth headway to dispute lead over 2f out but weakened in the final 1f; needs to be at his peak and turf form is nowhere near that.

Comment: Reliable at up to 1m6f in form terms for Karl Burke but he didn't look well handicapped; it was the same story on reappearance for new yard, before tailed off at 50-1 in the Northumberland Plate; dropped 2lb and cheekpieces go on but others are far more persuasive.

Comment: Successful in last year's 1,000 Guineas but the cards dropped perfectly (came off strong pace) and she is 0-5 since; no match for Cinderella's Dream on the other course here on penultimate start; chance of doubling her Group 1 tally largely depends on how the race pans out.

Comment: Form for new yard this term features two 6f wins in April and close fourth upped to 7f at Newbury (good) last time; unexposed over this trip; possibilities if taking well to added hood.

Comment: Progressed on AW over the winter and capitalised on good track position when winning at Lingfield last month (5f, good); ran to form when third at Ayr three weeks ago; should give his running but there could be a few better treated now.

Comment: Talented sprinter who won twice for this yard in 2024, including over C&D off a 2lb higher mark last July; has not found his very best this year but is on a good mark and may fare better today.

Comment: The winner of three of his last six starts, asserting in the closing stages at Windsor 18 days ago (5f, good to firm; Grandlad second); up 4lb but he's still improving and should go well once again; stable won this 12 months ago.

4 tips

13/2

Comment: C&D win last August and an AW success in September; yet to win this year but he retains all his ability and has had several troubled runs, including at Lingfield 13 days ago; style of racing leaves him a hostage to fortune but this is a wide-open space and there should be a good pace to aim at; big run likely.

15/2

Comment: Back to winning ways with a comfortable come-from-behind success at Sandown four weeks ago (5f, good; won the corresponding race in 2024 too); a 5lb rise in a slightly higher grade could be enough to find him out.

Comment: Front-runner; on a good mark on last season's best efforts for Robert Cowell, notably second in a Class 2 at Ascot (5f, good to firm) last July off 2lb higher; absent for 314 days now but he ran well last summer after a longer absence; interesting contender on his first run for Michael Keady.
