Surface: Turf

Weather: Mostly cloudy

Form: 206-01 D

Last run: 22 days

W: 9st 9lb

4 yo Colt

OR: 87

Form & Verdict
Has an in-and-out profile across his last few starts but he won at Ascot (good to firm) three weeks ago when attempting 5f for the first time, beating Duran by a length and a half; now 6lb worse off with the runner-up; could have more to offer at this trip and he's a strong candidate.

J: Oisin Murphy

T: Harry Charlton

Won at Ascot (5f, good to firm) in April and kept on for close second at Haydock (5f, good to firm) next time; feasibly treated on that form but he hasn't shone on his last two outings and needs to get back on track.

Looked good dropped to 5f at Ascot in April and ran creditably on his next two starts; low draw excuses a lesser run back at Ascot last month; returns to 6f and shouldn't be passed over lightly.

J: Callum Shepherd

T: Harry Charlton

Impressed over C&D in April, his first attempt at 5f; ran well at Haydock next time and the ground shouldn't have been an issue when only fifth at Hamilton last time; still possible he's happiest on good to firm though and could yet rate higher at the trip.

Form & Verdict
Three-time 5f turf winner (good to firm/good) who came from a tough position to be beaten just a neck on stable debut at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in December; major player if at the top of her game on this first run since.

T: Michael Appleby

Prominent racer; three 5f wins when trained by Karl Burke, the latest a handicap off 1lb lower last July; runner-up in two of her five runs for Mick Appleby but she dropped away having forced the pace at Goodwood eight weeks ago; should be able to grab the stands' rail which could be advantageous but there are other pace influences to contend with.

Form & Verdict
Won two in a row last August (6f, good/good to firm) and may well have won at Thirsk (5f, good) recently if he'd had a clear run; just 1lb higher today and there can be optimism he'll make amends.

Won the corresponding event 12 months ago off a 6lb higher mark; not come close to matching that form in seven runs since but this spring's two efforts have come over 5f and this will be more suitable; 2-2 at Redcar and a full revival could be imminent.

Form & Verdict
Inconsistent during last season's debut campaign, which ended tamely, but he won three times (5f, AW/good) and may have benefited from a break; not ruled out in a first-time tongue-tie on his return to action.

Six wins, all at 5f, include five on turf, most recently when making a winning reappearance at Nottingham (good) in April; slight concern that his sole run here was his worst but he's won off this mark and looks a player.

Progressive last year, winning three times, and he's continued the good work this season with creditable second placings off this mark at Beverley (5f, good) and Ascot (5f, good to firm), most recently a length and a half behind Blue Day with whom he's 6lb better off; solid contender.

J: Faye McManoman

In better heart than recent form-figures suggest, shaping encouragingly at Beverley on reappearance and poorly drawn at Ascot next time; usually runs at 5f but also successful at 6f; falling in weights and has each-way hopes.

Just one win from his last 18 starts but often runs well, as when runner-up on two of his three outings this season; beaten just a neck at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) on Saturday and can be thereabouts off the same mark.

J: Rowan Scott

T: Katie Scott

Useful 5f turf form in 2025 but his season slowed down later in the year and he's been below best, despite the reduced mark, this term; 0-3 on Newcastle AW but he did handle that Tapeta earlier in his career, so perhaps the switch to this track might pay off in first-time headgear.

Form & Verdict
Now 2lb lower than when winning at Southwell (5f, AW) in December and he's also effective on turf; however, he hasn't been at his best on his last three starts (AW/grass) and needs to raise his game.

Can take a nap at the start; best form of 2025 in good 5f Hamilton races during June, going close (good to soft) before leading near the line (good) but he hasn't been running badly in competitive sprints of late; the expected strong pace can suit now he's back at 5f and returned to this grade.
