9st 4lb

J: P J McDonald

T: Harriet Bethell

Won last summer's Carlisle Bell off this mark (1m, soft); ran well when fifth in the Spring Mile at Doncaster on his return before finding only his stablemate Milteye too strong at Ripon 13 days ago (1m, good to soft; Walsingham back in third); fully effective over C&D but he appears to have a preference for slower than good now and drying conditions aren't sure to suit.

9st 8lb

J: Harry Vigors

T: Harriet Bethell

The vast majority of his wins have come on slow ground but the going was good when he was second in this race last year; reappeared with promising fifth of 22 in the Spring Mile at Doncaster and could be in the mix.

J: P J McDonald

Suited by ground softer than good; record of 11-52 on turf features a win off 2lb higher in the 2025 Carlisle Bell; respectable second to Prosperitas at Doncaster on last appearance; competitively weighted.

9st 12lb

J: Sean D Bowen

T: Harriet Bethell

Multiple wins, seven on soft or heavy; he does most of his racing over further and hasn't been at his best since winning at Carlisle in June (when 2lb higher) but he did win his most recent attempt over a bare 7f, at York last October, and has more going for him than most.

9st 3lb

J: P J McDonald

T: Harriet Bethell

Suited by ground softer than good; successful off 1lb higher on four occasions, including in this race 12 months ago and the 2025 Carlisle Bell; fighting chance provided he's back in similar form.
