Form & Verdict
Had 2yo form on soft ground but that surface didn't work for him on second run this year; two good efforts in 7f handicaps either side, finding the most when winning on the other Newmarket course in May (good); up 4lb but still has potential.

J: John Fahy

T: Julie Camacho

Has dropped to a handy mark, but modest in three starts since a promising return from nine months off in June, including when last of 12 on AW debut at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) in September; has since had a third wind operation; enough to prove.

OR: 77

Form & Verdict
All races at 6f in a tongue-tie; bright start to 2023 when winning at Doncaster (good) but he made life hard for himself with another slow start on AW this month and his challenge didn't come to anything at York 13 days ago; free-goer who has stamina to prove upped to 7f.

Acts on turf but both wins on the AW (7f) and he needs to surface from a minor effort on return from a break at Kempton 23 days ago; handicapper may be on his back now.

Progressive 3yo for Ed Walker, reeling off a four-timer before running well in an Ascot Group 3 last October; didn't fire in Qatar earlier this year but he won well at Saint-Cloud in May (6f, soft) and turned in another fine handicap effort when second of 25 in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm), making his challenge on the opposite side of the track to the winner; 3lb higher and this sharper track is not sure to play to his strengths.

Found his trip when back at 6f in the second half of 2023, indifferent to the state of the ground when winning all four handicaps, including over C&D on good to firm; has left Ed Walker since but was at least as good as ever when winning a 6f conditions race at Saint-Cloud (soft) in May; has cards to play back here.

Acts on any ground; progressive 3yo who has completed a handicap four-timer since being dropped back to 6f and gained the last two wins at this venue; overall record is now 6-13; brings a very attractive profile to this first Group attempt and being 2-2 at Ascot is a bonus.

Form & Verdict
Can lead; added to 2yo win when making successful reappearance at Beverley (about 7f, good to soft) but she just kept on at the same pace when third at Haydock after; never sighted from high draw at Chester since and others may now have a bit more up their sleeves.

Both wins at about 7f but stayed on for close fourth over an extended 1m on AW most recently and may see out this slightly longer distance; looks more exposed than the other 3yos in the field, however.

Made a successful return at Beverley (7f, good to soft) in April and ran well on a couple of occasions subsequently; something to prove after heavy defeats the last twice, but half-sister and dam both AW winners so not impossible she could bounce back on the new surface.

3 yo Filly

Form & Verdict
Useful winning 7f debut on AW and another good effort under a penalty on turf (good) next time; had more to prove on final 2yo start in a French Group 3 (1m, very soft) and ambition didn't pay off; could still prove handily treated on handicap debut back at 7f.
