Form & Verdict
Won well in a novice event at Haydock in May; leapt forward again when second of ten in a Group 2 at Goodwood (again 7f on good; 22-1) 15 days ago, coming from the rear (despite hanging right) to go down by a head, and that makes him the clear form pick.

J: Robert Havlin

Just lost out in a Group 2 at Goodwood last summer then won three-runner Listed race (1m); best work late when third of 16 in a Group 3 at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm; 25-1) following ten months off, but nowhere near that level back in Listed company in July; has work to do; yard runs two.

9st 5lb

J: William Buick

T: John & Thady Gosden

Went very close in the Group 2 Vintage at Goodwood (7f, good) last July and easily won four-runner Listed race at Salisbury (1m, good to firm) the following month; then absent until Royal Ascot last month when he kept on for third of 16 in the Group 3 Jersey (7f, good to firm); the return to 1m seems a likely plus and he's a leading candidate under William Buick.

Form & Verdict
Won novice events at Newbury (6.5f, good) and Salisbury (7f, good to firm) on first two starts and beaten a head in Listed race at Ascot (7f, good) on latest; made most in all three; stuck to his task extremely well last time but Morris Dancer seems to demand something of a different order.

Has built up a solid record (1122) and posted the last two efforts at Listed level; beaten favourite, showing no further progress, at Salisbury (1m) latest but shaped as if this drop back in trip is needed.

J: Rossa Ryan

T: Clive Cox

Palace Pier colt who is two from two, having narrowly beaten Time To Turn at Newbury (6.5f, good) then justified short odds by a wider margin under a penalty at Salisbury (7f, good to firm); brings potential to this higher grade.

Form & Verdict
Followed three seconds (one on good to firm) by easily justifying favouritism in an Epsom maiden last month; fifth of eight in Listed race at Sandown (again 7f on good) three weeks ago was respectable, so she's building a record for reliability, but today's rivals look too tough for her.

J: Luke Morris

T: Neil Mulholland

Epsom maiden winner (7f, good) for Eve Johnson Houghton in July last year, but her form since then (including five starts for this yard) has been patchy; last two efforts have been creditable, but she needs a bit more from the same mark back on the AW.

T: Neil Mulholland

Had some stiff tasks following a wide-margin Epsom maiden win (7f) last July; took time to recapture form for new yard in 2026 but there was more to like about her close second of four back at Epsom (about 1m) recently and she's quite well treated now.

Useful 2yo (and course winner) when trained by Eve Johnson Houghton but soundly beaten in three handicaps (7f-1m) for new stable this year; may yet turn things around for Neil Mulholland but it's probably wise to wait for some encouraging signals from the betting.
