Form & Verdict
Found a couple of uncompetitive handicaps in May and has been expensive to follow since, latterly when behind two of these at Chepstow; considered but is weighted to his best and is an infrequent winner.

J: Kieren Fox

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.

Winner over this trip but doesn't run over it often now, all starts this year having come over 5f; continues to tumble down the weights but has struggled in two runs back on turf latterly and others make more appeal.

Form & Verdict
Trainer enjoying an excellent summer and is 4-12 with turf runners here; this gelding's only disappointing run this year came when helping force a strong pace over a stiff 5f (behind So Smart) and he's well drawn, but a chunky 10lb rise for his Chepstow win will test him.

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.

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.

9st 4lb

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.

6/1

Form & Verdict
Well suited by a stiff 5f (three-time winner on the July course at Newmarket); signs he may be in decline this season, for a yard who may hold stronger claims with Cloud King, and the first-time visor (three ordinary efforts in cheekpieces previously) needs to help.

Form & Verdict
Haydock win this time last year came off the same mark and he'll be happier back over an easier 5f; won first time out last season, so the ten-week break is no offputter, and he's quite capable if settling and getting this run to suit (usually dropped in).

This is his first outing since last December but he's gone well fresh in the past and ran some good races in the second half of last year; his C&D form figures read 12772 and he can be in the shake-up if fully tuned up.

Record of 1-20 on turf but that win was off 1lb lower at Goodwood in May; hasn't matched that form in three subsequent runs but he ran into a well-handicapped rival when a 4l second at Salisbury (5f, good to firm) last time; now drops back into a Class 5 event and he's not ruled out.
