Five-time AW winner over 1m and he was runner-up on turf over this C&D two weeks ago on his first start for 270 days; the winner has won again since; has major claims in the returning cheekpieces. |

Drew a blank in 2025 after a successful time of things in 2024; returns from nine months off on a dangerous mark but he is a better horse on AW. |

Won his first five starts on the AW between October 2023 and October 2024 including twice over C&D; has run well on several occasions since then and just 2lb above his last winning mark, but the outside stall makes things tricky. |

Came from the rear to win on his handicap/stable debut at Chester (7.5f, good) in June and has suffered trouble in running both starts since; this 3yo retains potential and could play a leading role if getting the breaks. |

Won a Lingfield novice (7f, Polytrack) last November and added an Ascot handicap (1m, good) in May; out of the frame in three starts since, though not disgraced when sixth of 14 in first-time blinkers at Goodwood (1m, good to firm) last month; bit more needed all the same. |

Gained a third win when beating Desert Shadow at Redcar (1m, good to firm) in May and he went down narrowly over that C&D (good; third has won since) four weeks ago; leading claims from an unchanged mark. |

Respectable effort when fourth of 12 at Newbury (1m, good to firm) this month and the return here makes him especially interesting given he is 2-2 over C&D; drying ground a positive. |

Has patchy profile but he put in a dominant display at Kempton (1m) in October and he had some traffic issues in the closing stages when a respectable sixth over C&D last time; still looks on a workable mark and it wouldn't be a surprise if he made a bold bid. |

C&D winner; off the mark for this yard when beating 12 rivals at Windsor in July (1m, soft); not so good in Doncaster classified event four weeks ago but this return to Class 6 will help and he has the ability to feature. |

Now 2lb lower than when keeping on well for close second behind course specialist in quite valuable Brighton Mile this summer, but recent Tapeta form has been underwhelming and he remains without a win since 2023. |

Three-time course winner over 7f for his previous stable but was third over this trip at Windsor in September; well held in both starts since returning from a break and first-time blinkers now replace cheekpieces; dropped another 3lb. |

All three wins came on the AW when trained by Kevin Philippart De Foy but he's twice been placed on turf since joining this stable, including on soft; well held at Pontefract (6f, good) in April but may have needed that first start for 194 days. |

Has plenty of good form at Ascot and his most recent course effort (when bidding for a second win in the Victoria Cup) can be excused as the race didn't pan out favourably for him; however, he has a difficult-looking mark to overcome in this first Royal Ascot attempt. |
