Form & Verdict
Made just about all when winning a Wolverhampton novice (5f, AW) in April and a handicap over C&D (good) last month, but couldn't last out under similar tactics in the 3yo 'Dash' at Epsom on Derby day (5f, good to soft); back in calmer waters here, but despite the small field he is still likely to face competition for the lead.

J: Jack Mitchell

Had an inconsistent spell on AW towards the end of 2025; has a better strike-rate on turf and recorded last year's August double off slightly higher marks; possibilities returned to this sphere on reappearance.

Form & Verdict
Had two of these behind when fourth of 19 in the 3yo 'Dash' at Epsom on Derby day (5f, good to soft) and built on that when making all and winning easily over C&D (good to soft) a week ago; might not enjoy a soft lead here and drying ground may pose a question, but she is 5lb well in despite the penalty so is still the one to beat.

J: Silvestre De Sousa

All four wins at 5f on good ground or softer, bolting up in handicap at Goodwood in May; well below par in two subsequent runs but she's had over two months off since and could be revived; not without hope if so.

9st 11lb

J: Hollie Doyle

T: Andrew Balding

Her three handicap wins have all come over C&D on good ground or slower; it was only a 0-88 that she won here on her reappearance in May but she fairly bolted up, easing her way into contention from well off the pace and skipping clear inside the final furlong; reverted to front-running in an Ayr Listed event last month but overdid things and dropped away late on; 11lb higher than for May's win but still a strong contender if the ground doesn't dry out too much.

J: Hollie Doyle

Loves Goodwood and has gained her last three wins there, pulling clear of 12 opponents in handicap on latest; the one to beat if she can repeat that form; best efforts so far on good ground or softer.

3 yo Colt

Form & Verdict
Often takes a keen hold and has finished out of the frame in his last three starts (in cheekpieces the last twice), including when behind a couple of these at Epsom on Derby day; needs to settle better if he is to bounce back.

J: Lewis Edmunds

Picked up for 4,000gns from the Hannon yard last autumn after breaking a blood-vessel for the second time in four runs; not much luck and maybe fresh is the time to catch him, going in a first-time hood, but the stiff 6f is a concern (most starts at 5f).

Travelled well but found little for pressure here 11 days ago (5f, good); that was after three months off and he lurks on a dangerous mark; fine on soft.

Quirky customer who signalled a return to form when keeping-on third at Windsor (5f, good to firm) when last seen in May; on a dangerous mark.

Form & Verdict
Acts on any ground; doubled her tally under a positive ride at Windsor (5f, good to firm) on Monday, but will need to improve again to defy a penalty and she is relatively exposed.

C&D winner but she's on a long losing run and was beaten 9l on Goodwood reappearance (6f, good) 17 days ago; that was a Class 3 but she needs to leave that form a long way behind on this drop back in trip.
