Form & Verdict
Progressive 4yo who has won three of his last six starts and was a good second under Fletcher Yarham at Newcastle (1m2f, Tapeta) 24 days ago; pulled 5l clear of the third in that race and he's a big player off only 1lb higher here.

Seen mostly at up to 1m4f, over which he delivered a telling late challenge on the other Newmarket track in May; while that looked encouraging for longer trips, his one attempt at 1m6f (on soft last July) and two at 2m (last two Northumberland Plates) saw him well beaten; that's not conclusive proof that he won't stay 1m6f but it leaves his stamina unproven.

J: Saffie Osborne

T: Dylan Cunha

Three wins at this track but he came 13th in this race last year; that was his only appearance over this long a trip and he was also below form when he had a crack at 1m6f, so he's unproven beyond 1m4f, over which he's contested his last nine starts; stamina is the big doubt.

Track regular who finished third in this race (good to soft) in 2024 and stayed on from the rear to be fourth in last year's edition; also won last season's Great Metropolitan over C&D (good) and got back in the winning groove when taking Newmarket handicap three weeks ago; latter success puts him on a career-high mark but he's unlikely to be far away.

Form & Verdict
Ended a long losing run when scoring at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) this month and he wasn't beaten far over 7f there three days later; this step back up in trip looks a positive (has won at 1m2f in the past) and he's respected on his stable debut; headgear removed.

None too consistent but she's slipped to a basement mark and there was more encouragement to be gleaned when a close fourth at Nottingham last month (first-time cheekpieces, retained); 11lb lower than for her Yarmouth win 13 months ago so needs a second look.

Form & Verdict
Record of 1-14 and was only seventh of eight at Lingfield last time but she's on a dangerous mark and was an eyecatching third over C&D in January; didn't get the best of runs in that race and has possibilities if she can recapture that form.

Kept on well for second of 15 over an extended 1m4f at Chester (good) in May but below-par sixth over the same trip at Goodwood since; latest win came over 1m on AW in March, so the significant drop back in trip shouldn't be an issue but it's still hard to be upbeat about her prospects here from 4lb out of the handicap.
