Form & Verdict
70,000gns yearling; Ulysses close relation to three winners including very smart Regal Reality (7f-1m2f); 12-1, made promising late gains when third of ten in maiden at Goodwood (1m, good) 17 days ago, which makes him a serious player on form and potential.

J: P J McDonald

T: Andrew Balding

Well-beaten seventh in 1m4f Group 2 at this meeting on final run last year; won handicap at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) in February, has held his form and had possible excuses, while also appearing as if he's well worth another go at 1m4f, so he's given a second look despite needing overall improvement.

J: P J McDonald

T: Andrew Balding

Two novice wins on turf and he made it 3-6 when scoring at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) in February on his second handicap start; solid fourth to The Glen Rovers at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) last month and, while improvement is necessary today, this is just his ninth run and he may have more left in the tank.

2 yo Colt

OR:

Form & Verdict
Dubawi half-brother to Group 1 Commonwealth Cup winner Inisherin; travelled well and kept on when third in a maiden at Newmarket (1m, good) last month and he did not need to improve on that form when justifying favouritism in a novice at Chester (7f, good) two weeks later; has Group 2 Royal Lodge and Group 1 Futurity entries; useful prospect at the least.

Formerly trained by Richard Hannon but remained with same owner; produced his best performance in most recent domestic start, namely a narrow success in Group 3 at last year's Ebor festival at York (1m1f, good to firm); may have more to offer this term; respected.

J: Sean Levey

T: Richard Hannon

3yo who was a close Listed second on his reappearance (1m1f, good to soft) then wasn't beaten far in mid-division in the Group 1 Prix du Jockey Club (10.5f, good to soft); things haven't panned out ideally when third in 1m Listed/Group 3 races the last twice (including on good to firm) and this extra furlong could be in his favour; not ruled out.

Kickstarted 2026 with breakthrough victory at Wolverhampton (7f) in January for Jane Chapple-Hyam; in decent form since for current yard until only seventh in 1m2f handicap at Chester 13 days ago; needs to get back on track.

AW winner over 7f for previous yard off 3lb higher; signs of getting it together for Ian Williams, albeit those were Class 5 handicaps at Chepstow and over 1m; down 1lb and, if he can see out the trip, wouldn't be without hope.

J: Rhys Clutterbuck

T: Gary & Josh Moore

Maiden hurdle winner in first-time blinkers; 0-11 on the Flat, which sees him continue down the weights but he's been soundly beaten in Polytrack handicaps (unraced on Tapeta) and Flat record over the last year has been uninspiring; visored first time (has tried cheekpieces as well as the blinkers).

Hurdle winner at Doncaster (2m, good to soft; first-time blinkers) in December but struggled in his next five starts; ran a bit better when sixth of nine at Bath (1m2f, firm) 15 days ago but isn't certain to back that up; cheekpieces replace blinkers.
