First past the post in sole AW attempt (demoted for causing interference); ran creditably in first-time cheekpieces at Chester most recently but is 0-4 and less interesting than some of these rivals.

Regressive maiden who's done most racing over shorter and will need to settle better than at Kempton last time if he's to have a chance of seeing this out from a double-figure stall; some way down the pecking order.

15-race maiden but he's dropped a long way in the weights and wasn't beaten far when upped to 1m at Lingfeild (AW) 13 days ago; ties in with Paranjape on that form and could get involved if he can find some extra spark.

Won a big-field sales race at Newmarket for Oliver Cole last October; the handicapper has been in command this year and his two runs for this yard haven't suggested that a return to form is imminent; King Of Light looks the stable's main hope unless the betting strongly hints otherwise.

Two wins as a 2yo, notably a sales race at Newmarket (7f, good); not so good in 2026 but his mark is easing; hooded for this first run for Stuart Williams (sold out of Oliver Cole's yard for 65,000gns last month).

Poatan

J: Rowan Scott

T: George Scott

Lightly raced 3yo who showed a jolt of improvement when winning a handicap at Haydock (5f, soft; previous win came over 6f on good to firm) six weeks ago; clearly going the right way, but this Group 1 requires another sizeable step up the ladder and David Egan jumps ship to ride Power Blue.

Lightly raced 3yo whose best juvenile run came on good to soft ground in a Doncaster sales race (extended 6f); back in action with a strong-finishing but luckless third of eight in a Sandown Listed race (5f, good) but he made no serious impact in a York handicap since; today's test should suit better and he's far from exposed.

2yo campaign concluded with good third in Doncaster sales race (6.5f, good to soft); just one start this year, when keeping on strongly for close Listed third at Sandown (5f, good) in June; this sharp 5f may not play to his strengths but he has a Group 1 entry and is one to be interested in.

Won C&D novice then close up in a Group 3 at Glorious Goodwood (5f) last July before losing some momentum; gelded since and was never nearer than at the line on his Newmarket comeback (6f, good to firm) in May; open to improvement and no surprise to see him involved.

6f novice win at Windsor last July before appearing to improve when fourth in the Group 3 Molecomb at Glorious Goodwood (5f, good; form hasn't worked out at all); struggled thereafter and he makes his seasonal/handicap debut off a tough mark; has been gelded since last seen.

6f novice winner who was beaten only about 2l when fourth of eight in the Group 3 Molecomb at Goodwood (5f, good) in July, and a case can be made on that form; however, lesser runs have followed in Listed and Group 2 races (5f/6f, good to firm/good to soft) and he needs to raise his game.

Achieved similar amount when runner-up first three starts; tad underwhelming on nursery debut at Goodwood before producing a laboured effort at Newbury (gelded in between); it's possible he missed the blinkers last time as they're back on here; safer options elsewhere for all moving up to 1m promises to suit; AW debut.

Runner-up in first three starts, failing odds-on backers in the last two of them; went off favourite again for a valuable Glorious Goodwood nursery (7f, heavy) in July and kept at it, after an awkward start, to finish sixth of 11; might be looking for 1m now but he's far from ruled out; has been gelded.

Runner-up in all his races, failing odds-on backers the last twice (dictated matters last time at Epsom over 7f); however, possibly bumped into useful rivals on both those occasions and perhaps a truly run race in this bigger field will bring him on; yard won this last year.
