J: Billy Loughnane

T: George Scott

Useful performer but has done much of his racing in the Middle East, winning three times; 0-5 in British events and suffered a heavy defeat (albeit with something possibly amiss) at Royal Ascot 12 months ago; something to prove off his mark.

J: Callum Shepherd

T: George Scott

Consistent in Britain and UAE but he has more to do than when getting off the mark at Meydan (7f, good to firm) in February and when third in a lower grade at Haydock (1m) for new yard in May; now has tongue-tie refitted with cheekpieces added.

J: George Wood

T: Jane Chapple-Hyam

His easy win on his racecourse debut at Wolverhampton in December 2023 was foretold by the betting market; ran well in a Listed race (1m, good) here 12 months ago but he's enjoyed little success in handicaps this season; slowly edging down the weights but there are risks attached.

Very lightly raced 5yo who hasn't been at the top of his game across his three starts this year; however, he didn't run badly over 6f at Hamilton last month and his best previous form has been at about 1m; no surprise if today's step back up in distance bears fruit.

Royal Zabeel

9st 6lb

J: Jason Watson

T: Michael Appleby

A strike-rate of 4-7 on AW includes two Listed wins, at 7f and 6f; not quite so good on grass as yet but he has a 7lb lower turf mark and indicated he could make it pay when an excellent fifth in the big-field Victoria Cup over 7f here (good; has won on good to firm) in May, not ideally positioned there as it turned out; one to consider back at 6f.

Ties in with Golden Mind on Musselburgh running but the pair of them are facing a stiffer assignment in this major prize; remains useful on turf but a lower mark in this sphere reflects that his peak form, namely dual Listed honours, has been shown on AW.

Formerly trained by Ger Lyons; placed a few times over 6f/7f in Listed grade but posted duck eggs at Royal Ascot 2025 and in valuable Irish handicap in his last two appearances; sold for 80,000gns since; hood fitted; enough to prove on debut for new yard.

Debut winner last year of Naas maiden but hasn't added to tally in six starts since, standout effort when second in Naas Listed over this trip in May; gelded since finishing last in Group 3 Jersey Stakes in June and not to be dismissed on handicap debut though stiff enough task at the weights.

Two wins last May, including over C&D (good); failed to kick on subsequently but she reappeared with a solid third of six over C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago and could build on that performance this afternoon.

His losing sequence is up to 13 but he's 4lb lower than when runner-up at Royal Ascot last June and was denied a clear run when third at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last Saturday; bang there if getting the breaks.

His last two wins have been over C&D and latest was in this race last year; flopped when favourite at this track last month but he finished runner-up in a big field here (6f, good to soft) on his reappearance in March; looks interesting if he can recapture that form and it would be a bonus if rain arrives.

Has gained both handicap wins at Chester, including over the bare 7f at this meeting (good) in May 2024; respectable fifth in this last year; a reappearance run over 6f at the Newmarket Craven meeting could have put him spot on for this; likely to be in the mix here again.
