9st 3lb |
2023 Royal Ascot winner who has also tasted the high life in top hurdle races; one of the market leaders in this in 2024 but came 12th; his attentions have been focused on the Flat this year but he hasn't been in peak form, 11th off this reduced mark behind Hopewell Rock last time; there's a chance that return to softer ground today will help; something needs to. |

2023 Royal Ascot winner who has also tasted the high life in top hurdle races; his attentions were turned back to the Flat for four races (UAE and Saudi Arabia) this January-March and he wasn't in peak form, before 12l tenth at Royal Ascot (1m4f; restless in the stalls) continued that trend; falling in the weights but needs a revival. |

9st 7lb |
Well held in his two handicaps since winning a maiden here in June but this 525,000gns yearling could have some potential lurking now he's gelded; off since July, so some confidence behind him would be preferable. |

525,000gns yearling; maintained his progress with a comfortable maiden win at Leicester (1m, good to firm) and was a bit too free for his own good when a fader on handicap debut at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm); retains plenty of potential. |

525,000gns yearling buy, brother to the same stable's King Leonidas whose best form (RPR 109) was registered over 1m2f on handicap debut; this one's three runs over 1m, making all in Leicester maiden (good to firm) last time, suggest that he too is building up to something once upped to this trip; very much one to note. |

9st 0lb |
Similar form in Listed race at the Curragh and when a close second in good-ground maidens at Cork and Gowran Park, all over 1m last month; changed hands for £300,000 on Monday; needs major improvement but the big positive, backed up by his performances, is that he's bred to be very well suited by further than 1m; unexposed and needs a close look. |

Given an ambitious debut in a Listed race at the Curragh; coped well in the circumstances, staying on after getting outpaced to finish roughly 7l fourth of six behind the smart-looking Paddington; beaten a neck by a stablemate of Nation's Call at Cork last week; should go very close. |

Triple AW winner who is 0-24 on turf but he ran well to finish second behind an unexposed improver at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) 11 days ago; on same mark here and he's a big player if he can repeat that form. |

Usually races prominently (didn't when trying 1m4f last time); a mostly solid 2025 included 1m2f Listed wins in May and November; has started 2026 in downbeat fashion but today's ground could prompt something better, as his top three ratings have been registered on softer than good; below-form favourite in this race two years ago but was denied a clear run; needs to be back in peak form to have any chance. |

Narrow C&D winner (Class 4; 12-1) in November and, broadly speaking, has acquitted himself respectably since; stamina was likely overstretched at Wolverhampton (1m4f) latest; it's interesting that Jack Callan (1-1) returns to the saddle from just 1lb above that winning mark. |

Useful three-time Flat winner for William Haggas; has developed into a smart handicap hurdler; stuck to his task when first past the post in a big field at Aintree's Grand National meeting (2m, good to soft) only to be disqualified for a whip offence; 6lb extra for that arguably made the difference when he was beaten a neck in the Swinton at Haydock; progressive sort. |

Course winner who was runner-up in the 2024 Cambridgeshire but has been lightly raced since; his keeping-on fifth of 12 over 1m1f at Musselburgh in April suggests most of that ability remains but he failed to build on it tackling 1m2f for the first time when fourth at Redcar (good to firm) four weeks ago; first-time cheekpieces worn at Redcar are retained. |

Runner-up in the Cambridgeshire (1m1f) in September 2024 and he's raced just four times since; denied clear run when keeping on for fifth of 12 at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) recently and the return to 1m2f is worth a go; could have a part to play in first-time cheekpieces. |
