Form & Verdict
Lightly raced 5yo who has won four of his 12 starts and his profile includes quality snippets of Group 1 form; a shade disappointing that he wasn't up to the job when favourite for a Goodwood conditions race on his reappearance, though that steadily run race over 1m1f on fast ground wasn't his ideal scenario; this race looks a better fit and he's the class act; won't mind rain.

Acts on soft and good to firm; smart performer who has bits of Group 1 form; didn't need to reproduce it when justifying favouritism in Listed event here (1m2f) last September, then came up well short in the Champion Stakes (wore tongue-tie/blinkers); peak figures give him a leading chance on seasonal debut.

Form & Verdict
Looks as good as ever and when again running well in the Group 3 Rose Of Lancaster Stakes at Haydock (1m2f, good to firm) he went down narrowly to a former Group 1 winner; versatile ground-wise and entitled to be right in the thick of it.

Multiple winner down the years but 2025 figures suggest age may be catching up with him to some degree; hasn't won a domestic race since 2023 and it's an even longer time since he made a successful seasonal debut.

T: Jack Channon

Strike rate of 11-49 reads well although hasn't won in over a year and this season has been restricted by quick ground; had his favoured soft ground but still good bit below best at Ayr last month so must be doubtful he can run to current mark and ideally wants a bit further.

9yo whose form has been mixed across three starts this year; however, they've all been on good ground and his last five wins have come on good to soft and slower ground, the latest a Group 3 at Longchamp (1m2f, soft) last September; could bounce back with a big run if conditions are in his favour.

Form & Verdict
Well beaten in 1m/1m4f Group 2s the last twice, stamina looking a big issue last time; has the form to bustle up most of these having won a Group 3 last backend on soft ground, on which she's gained all her wins; significant rain would give her a squeak.

Form & Verdict
Beat this week's Great Voltigeur close third King's Gambit on last season's soft-ground debut at Newbury before finishing fifth in a French Group 1; this season started well and he had wind surgery soon after finishing fifth in a 1m2f Group 3 at Royal Ascot (good to firm); needs to find some improvement to collect on these terms but the potential is there (Group 1 QEII entrant).

Form & Verdict
Formerly with Aidan O'Brien and runner-up in last year's Irish, 2,000 Guineas; has yet to repeat that form, though did get closer to it when the cheekpieces were added (joining tongue-tie) in a 1m1f conditions race at Goodwood (good to firm) three weeks ago; he was receiving 5lb from My Prospero as they crossed the line in unison; more needed here but rain won't bother him.

Ex-Ballydoyle horse who has finished runner-up on five occasions for current yard, most recently in Group 2 at Chester (1m2f); however, back up in class today he's very unlikely to achieve the same position, let alone go one better; comfortably held in this contest last year and again has a stiff task; wears new headgear.

Form & Verdict
His Group 1 Champion Stakes entry looks ambitious but can put a line through his Royal Ascot failure and he's won 1m2f handicaps either side of that, with the front two (second unexposed) coming 13l clear last time at Sandown (soft); hard to gauge the ceiling of his ability as he's improving all the time; much respected.
