T: John Butler

Maiden who is proving consistent and ran creditably at Ascot (1m, good) most recently; should give his running but chance of winning largely depends on the effects of first-time headgear.

A maiden after seven starts but only beaten about 1l when running-on fourth (just behind Blue Courvoisier) on last month's seasonal/handicap debut at Newmarket; no surprise if he's on the premises again.

Six-race maiden last term and his form rather levelled off after a couple of good seconds; market support would be encouraging but otherwise needs improvement to make a winning handicap/seasonal debut.

Never figured in C&D maiden (soft) on St Leger day, recording an ordinary RPR; however, may do better with the experience under his belt.

Both runs at Doncaster (1m, soft) last autumn, faring slightly better when fourth of five on the second occasion; gelded since; not crying out for the longer trip on the dam's side of his pedigree.

Twice-raced colt who is open to additional improvement upped further in trip; won at Doncaster (1m, soft) in the autumn then rallied for third place in the Dee Stakes at Chester (1m2f, good; Listed) on reappearance; one of the main contenders.

T: K R Burke

Dante and Derby entry; by Lope De Vega out of well-bred mare whose three earlier offspring have best RPRs of 112, 103 and 112, including this one's brother the 2025 Great Voltigeur third Arabian Force; 13-8 favourite when winning a five-runner maiden at Doncaster (1m, soft) last October, leading 2f out and looking set for a wide-margin win before rather pulling himself up in the last half furlong; probably best forgiven that indiscretion first time out, in which case he's a good prospect for 1m2f+.

Promising 2yo debut (1m, soft); beaten as a strong favourite at Nottingham on his reappearance (1m2f, good) three weeks ago, racing too freely; remains capable of better and he is a leading form contender.

In need of the experience when second of five in a 1m maiden at Doncaster (soft) last October; flattered by his proximity to the idling winner but it was still an encouraging start and today's extra yardage looks a big positive; leading contender.
