Form & Verdict
The subject of market support on his Newbury debut in May (7f, good) but he was too green to do himself justice and never landed a blow; returns to action with his stable in great form and it will be interesting to see if his backers return.

J: Christophe Soumillon

T: Ed Walker

Highly tried after his impressive win at 2024 Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm) but has mainly been disappointing; second of six at Hamilton (1m) 12 days ago was clearly his best show this season but he needs to build on that today over a new trip.

Highly tried after his impressive win in last year's Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm), but has mainly been disappointing and only beat two home in the same race four weeks ago; rain not a problem but still has enough to prove; cheekpieces removed after one use.

T: Ed Walker

Well ahead of his mark last June when taking this race to pieces but he never went on from that and has been slow to come to hand this year; first-time cheekpieces could hurry him up and he's only 1lb higher than last year so has a big weights chance.

Consistent filly who ran right up to her best when second over C&D last month; that was the sixth time in eight starts that she has been placed though and likely she will remain vulnerable for win purposes.

Took a while to get off the mark but he's making up for lost time, ending his 3yo campaign with two 6f wins and completing his hat-trick at Wolverhampton on his reappearance last month; had subsequent winners back in third and fifth last time and a 3lb rise for that success looks fair; major player again back on turf.
