Two wins at Goodwood last autumn and admirably consistent in defeat this season, going close in a big field over C&D (good) then finishing fifth in the Royal Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm; second of 20 in group); there is every chance that he will be bang there.

J: Callum Rodriguez

Made a solid return to Britain when chasing home Jonquil in a Listed race over the straight 1m here (good to firm) in May but comfortably held in the Royal Hunt Cup back here since; has yet to win above Group 3 level and it's likely that will remain the case.

J: Jack Nicholls

T: K R Burke

Runner-up in C&D Listed contest last time, maintaining his consistency; Royal Ascot record includes a debut success in the 2022 Chesham and creditable fifth (off 7lb lower) in this race in 2024; Jack Nicholls takes off a useful 5lb; solid contender who again should give his running.

Point Lynas

9st 12lb

J: Callum Rodriguez

T: Edward Bethell

Below best on final two starts last season and same story on sole run this term, in Qatar in February; also has a hefty mark to defy but this front-runner was a fine second under an enterprising ride in a Group 2 at Ascot last July and has a strong record here, finishing second in this race in 2023 and winning it in 2024; capable of very bold bid from the inside stall.

Good second in Ascot Group 2 last time, collared only late having raced in clear lead for long way; made all for emphatic success in this race 12 months ago (good to firm) and commands respect back here.

Placed just once in 13 starts since her latest success and finished behind a couple of these on her third start for the yard in the Kensington Palace at Ascot (1m, good to firm) last month; down the list.

Consistent for Tom Ward in 2025; weakened quickly when tailed off in 1m4f Goodwood Listed race on return for new yard and, under a change of tactics, went off way too hard in 1m1f Hamilton handicap since; hooded first time; lots to prove.

Won a Newcastle handicap (1m, AW) in January and was returning from an absence when beaten a nose at Carlisle (7f, good to firm) 13 days ago; she will need a lot more in order to figure in this company.

Mostly a hold-up mare; two wins from just five starts here feature a success over this trip (soft) two years ago and another over 6f (good to firm) last May; on her third trainer when scoring over 1m at Newcastle (AW) in January but she'll need to be better than ever to defy this mark on her first start since February; this could set up quite nicely, though.
