4 yo Colt

OR: 76

Form & Verdict
Progressive sort, building on his fine reappearance in finishing third of 21 at York (7f, good) last month when winning at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) nine days ago; has a 5lb penalty, but it's likely he has further improvement in him and he's much respected.

Better than ever when landing a second 7f Goodwood success of the year in 20-runner event at last week's Glorious meeting (good to firm), with the reopposing Pellitory well behind; a further 4lb rise seems unlikely to prevent another prominent showing from this thriving 5yo.

J: Ryan Moore

T: Daniel & Claire Kubler

Three wins last year and he won 14-runner handicap over C&D (good) in May; solid fourth to Colombier at Epsom next time and it was a narrow career best when second of 11 at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 18 days ago; will probably need another pb but that's not out of the question and Ryan Moore rides; considered.

J: Billy Loughnane

Arrives in good form having won at Goodwood (7f, good) then made the frame in competitive field at Epsom (7f, good to soft); however, he remains on a career-high mark and has to concede weight all round.

6 yo Gelding

OR: 76

Form & Verdict
Front-runner who ended a 13-race losing run at Beverley (7f, good) last May, but finished over 6l behind Crimson Spirit when fourth of nine at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) nine days ago; 5lb pull doesn't look enough to reverse the placings, albeit he may enjoy the run of the race.

Races prominently; easy winner of this 12 months ago when only 2lb lower and he returns on the back of some solid efforts, the latest over 6f which has to bode well; good chance.

Prominent racer; series of good runs at around 7f since May; slipping down the weights and should be a key player back at 6f.

T: Michael Appleby

Kickstarted 2026 with 6f success at Southwell off 2lb higher; respectable third of ten over 7f at Epsom (good) 17 days ago; successful on his previous outing over C&D; this prominent racer is capable of making a bold bid.

9 yo Gelding

OR: 69

Form & Verdict
Best known for his AW exploits (eight wins), though one of his two turf successes came over C&D (good to firm) last September; has run well fresh, but others make more appeal back from 111 days off.

J: Rossa Ryan

T: Stuart Williams

Triple C&D winner who took advantage of a reduced mark when coming from rear to score at Brighton (7f, good) in August; remains well treated on old form but his spark was missing at Kempton last time and he needs to step up again after that.

J: Jack Doughty

T: Tony Carroll

Four wins last summer, latterly off a 7lb higher mark, and has come back to form round here lately; often blows the start and can pull hard, while it's late in the day to be trying headgear for the first time, but he remains quite capable if things fall right.
