0-8 but he's run some good races, including placing in 7f handicaps in December; competitive from this mark but might be vulnerable to improvers.

Attractively bred grey who has improved with each of his four starts and was a close second on nursery debut at Epsom a fortnight ago (7f, good; unraced on softer), despite pulling hard; contender up 2lb.

Handicap debutant who looks fairly solid, having made the frame over 7f on turf/AW the last twice; in good hands and may be capable of progress at this level; one to consider.

T: Charlie Appleby

Has been described as a challenge by connections but he's a talented one and the drop to 5f suited when beating a smart rival (later runner-up at the Breeders' Cup) in a Group 3 over C&D (good; won a novice on good to firm) in October; nothing special on his recent return here but he was eased when his winning chance had gone and the return to 5f can suit; much respected.

Gelded prior to prevailing narrowly in the Cornwallis (5f, good; Group 3) on final 2yo start, taking record on the Newmarket tracks to 3-3; effective over 6f and looks open to further improvement; carries 3lb penalty; respected kept to this venue in first attempt against his elders.

Good fourth in Chantilly Listed contest (6.5f, AW) last month, despite having been absent since midfield effort in the 2025 Coventry; chance of landing this useful race partly depends on how well he responds to first-time headgear; steps up a tad further in trip.

9st 3lb

J: Hollie Doyle

T: Archie Watson

Beaten at Chepstow on debut but looked far more with it at Lingfield (6f, good) when dominating from the front down the 'golden highway' up the stands' rail; would probably have beaten inferior opposition no matter how he was ridden, but that didn't smack of Royal Ascot-winning material; improvement is possible but it's certainly necessary.

22,000gns yearling; half-sister to five winners including Galinea (French 6.5f-1m 2yo; RPR 92); briefly outpaced and kept on to finish third of six, beaten 3l, behind a stablemate of Beckford's Folly in a fillies' novice on debut at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) 17 days ago; likely to improve.

Won at Nottingham (8.3f, good) in May before respectable third of seven at Lingfield (1m1f, soft); hampered at the start when she flopped here (1m, good to firm) a fortnight and she's much better than that, but she needs to bounce back with a career best if she's to come out on top.
