8st 8lb

J: David Probert

T: Clive Cox

Record of 0-6 since debut success but he has a notable piece of course form, namely close second in nursery at last year's Glorious Goodwood; could go well returned to this venue with Newbury reappearance (stable debut) under his belt.

9st 7lb

J: David Probert

T: Clive Cox

Easy win on Leicester debut (5f, good to firm) last May and he finished runner-up in two of his three handicaps for Richard Hughes, including over 6f at this track and over 7f at Newbury; well held on stable debut two weeks ago but he may have needed that run and he's not ruled out on this drop back in grade.

9st 3lb

J: Rossa Ryan

T: Clive Cox

Easy win on his debut (5f, good to firm) and showed fairly useful ability in five subsequent starts for Richard Hughes, including a C&D second when last seen in September (solid form); sold for 160,000gns the following month; begins this campaign up another 3lb; big personal best is required on his first run for a trainer who won this race in 2022 and 2023.

9st 10lb

J: William Buick

T: Richard Hughes

Won on debut (5f, good to firm) and good to soft ground proved fine when showing improved form to finish second in a 6f nursery at Glorious Goodwood; got going too late but it was still a good effort when beaten about 2l in another valuable nursery at York one month ago; shaped like he's well worth a go at 7f that day so much respected.

9st 1lb

J: Ryan Moore

T: Richard Hughes

Led his group long way when finishing just behind Utmost Respect and Old Is Gold in the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot; ridden with more restraint in his two outings since, showing improved form when second (Old Is Gold third, Blue Orbit sixth) of 11 in 6f nursery at Glorious Goodwood; raised 3lb since but he was arguably a bit better than the result having raced wide of and further back than the other principals; another bold show is likely.
