Form & Verdict
Well-related 220,000euros yearling who didn't see out 7f in one run last autumn before being gelded; couple of costly Wolverhampton 5f defeats this spring, latterly in the hood (retained), but remains open to improvement now handicapping on turf.

Made a winning start for this yard at Leicester (5f) last July but he's offered little in 5f handicaps at Lingfield and Newmarket this summer; others appeal more.

Form & Verdict
Better with each start in Ireland this spring, as he dropped in trip, and his new trainer's record with new recruits alone entitles him to respect back from two months off; interesting to see how he goes in the market.

The winner of five of his 12 starts (5.7f-6f) since joining James Owen last summer; fourth and sixth in major handicaps on last two starts and it would seem highly likely that he will give his running once again; appears to handle any ground.

Another success story for James Owen, progressing well in 2025 and continuing the good work this time around with wins over C&D and at Newbury (both good ground); another step forward when fourth in the Wokingham, an effort that can be upgraded, and he races off the same mark today; 3-3 over C&D and sure to be popular.

J: Kieran Shoemark

Three of his last four wins have come at Goodwood (6f; heavy and good ground); probably not too track dependent as he won at Newbury in May but he has more to find on his first run at Ascot, off another career-high mark in a daunting race.

Lot of racing last year and this, for two yards, and still only has a small-field AW novice win to her name; competitive again since switched to a visor but is fully exposed and had plenty of chances off this sort of mark.

Both runs last month, going close on her Yarmouth debut (6f, good to firm) but finishing 3l behind Magic Basma when third of seven at Carlisle (6f, good) a fortnight later; 7lb better off with her old rival so there shouldn't be much between them.

Started off for Lemos De Sousa with two encouraging AW runs in the spring (5f/6f) and can be excused this month's turf defeat (suffered interference); would appeal more on ground slower than good but has slipped to a tempting mark and may be aided by the refitted blinkers.

Often pulled hard on the AW, hence the hood, and has blown the start twice since gelded and returned to turf (just behind Cressida Wildes latest); likely this mark is within range when things fall his way but there are risks involved.

One turf win from 15 attempts, in a four-runner race at Chepstow (5f) last July; two fair C&D runs since returned to turf in May and was out on a limb when finishing sixth to Another Abbot and Sudden Flight 14 days ago; however, he'll do well to win at this level off his current mark.
