Form & Verdict
Has won two of his last four 5f starts, an AW maiden in October, and at Windsor (good to firm) in May when winning a shade cosily; he found disappointingly little at Sandown since but is down in grade today and should have some handicapping potential still.

Better than ever in 2026 and seen to good effect when making all at Ffos Las and Ascot (5f; good and good to firm; acts on good to soft) in midsummer; couldn't cope with a total rise of 12lb in the Shergar Cup since and an easy lead looks unlikely but he could be well positioned from his draw and give it a good shot.

T: Christopher Mason

Made good progress last season and he has improved again this year, finishing third of 17 over C&D on his reappearance and winning at Ffos Las (5f, good) and C&D (good to firm) on his last two starts; up another 5lb but foolish to think he has reached his ceiling.

J: Gina Mangan

T: Christopher Mason

Two C&D runs have seen him make the frame in big-field events; easily saw off four rivals in a handicap at Ffos Las (5f, good) 26 days ago; the combination of a 7lb rise and considerably more demanding opposition could scupper a follow up.

Form & Verdict
Had been winless for over nine months before his C&D success (good to soft) 16 days ago but he was having only his second turf run since an AW spell and had dropped to a good mark; overcame some diffculties there and is still well treated despite going back up 4lb; solid chance.

All ground seems to come alike to him and he gained his second C&D success (good to firm) last month, but a 4lb rise appeared to anchor him in his two outings since; may need the returning visor to perk him up a bit.

Prominent racer who was well held at Chepstow last time, but that was a Class 4 event and he won that track (5f, good to firm) on his penultimate run; remains well treated on his old form and has claims if he can bounce back on this drop back in grade; acts on fast and soft ground.

Front-runner who's won six times on this course, at 7f, 6f and 5f, and her latest close second of seven last week was the third time she's been beaten less than a length this year; a likely player again.

Form & Verdict
Likes to lead but he couldn't sustain the gallop in the Windsor race won by All Ways Glamorous (5f, good to firm) in May; he fared a lot better when runner-up at Sandown (5f, good to firm) last week but he'll have to crack on, then hold on, against fellow front-runners in this race.

J: Ryan Kavanagh

T: Grace Harris

Took advantage of a drop in the weights when making all to record his second C&D success in an apprentice handicap (good to firm) eight days ago, beating stable-companion Savannah Smiles by 2l; races off the same mark (6lb well in) and a big chance of following up.

Form & Verdict
Won two in a row last month (5f and 6f; good to firm); below best next time and although he was a fair third of seven at Thirsk last week, there's work to be done against the course specialists (well held in sole C&D start in 2023).

His losing run is up to 16 and his form has gone the wrong way this year, but he's 3lb lower than when beaten just a neck at Lingfield (5f, AW) in June and he won this race in 2024; not discounted.
