J: William Buick

All three of his wins came as 2yo, the most recent in the Group 1 Middle Park at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) last September, but he ran his best this year when fourth of eight in first-time cheekpieces in Group 2 at Doncaster (7f, good) last time; won't be troubled by this drop back in trip and he's a leading contender on his AW debut.

J: Billy Loughnane

T: Charlie Appleby

Has raced over only shorter trips but a couple of efforts in his below-par 2026 campaign suggest this step up to 7f, combined with first-time headgear, may prompt a resurgence; proved a progressive juvenile last term, signing off with Middle Park win.

Runner-up to Charles Darwin in the Norfolk here (5f, good to firm) 12 months ago and won the Group 1 Middle Park at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) in September; hasn't hit the same heights in races won by Coppull and Song Of The Clyde this season but he's not written off.

Campaigned only on good/firmer; progressive 2yo campaign featured 6f wins at Newbury (Listed) and Newmarket (Group 1 Middle Park Stakes); may be back in top form with Ascot reappearance (Group 3) under his belt; major player, despite conceding weight all round.

On the up when last seen, rounding off his 2yo campaign with a comfortable come-from-behind win in the Middle Park in September (6f, good to firm); may confirm his superiority over Brussels and Coppull despite the weights turnaround and he is not fully exposed just yet.
