Form & Verdict
C&D novice winner last August (good to soft), after which he ran creditably in a York Listed race in October; promising third behind Double Rush on reappearance at the Craven meeting (6f, good to soft) and took another step forward on that other Newmarket track with a dominant display at the Guineas meeting, hanging left under pressure no barrier to a comfortable success; an 11lb rise asks a stiffer question and this race is usually won by something lurking further down the weights.

Goes well at Newmarket; third to Double Rush at last season's Craven meeting (2lb better off today) before an impressive win in the 3yo handicap on this card; another promising run on his reappearance 17 days ago when finishing third, just over 5l behind Double Rush; has bigger days ahead of him but he may be battling for another minor placing.

Prince Of India

9st 9lb

J: Marco Ghiani

T: Marco Botti

Won four times during a progressive campaign last year but he's come up short in Listed/Group 3 events this spring; seems ideally suited by fast ground but he's still 4lb higher than for his last win and has some work to do back in a handicap.

J: Hollie Doyle

T: Marco Botti

Only fifth when favourite for AW event on reappearance but is reasonably interesting back on turf, provided he gets ideal ground; has form figures of 12113 on good/firmer, the final effort in Listed grade behind Elmonjed; may still have more to offer.

Form & Verdict
Impressed at Southwell on his handicap debut in February (6f) but subsequently looked to have found the handicapper in command; back to form with a bang when rewarding good support at Kempton four weeks ago but an 8lb rise leaves him with more to do; still has something to prove on turf too.

Looked good when winning over C&D in June; struggled in a hot race at Newmarket the following month but only fifth at Newcastle last time and others may have his measure in this field.

Looked good when winning at Southwell on his handicap debut in February (6f); form then levelled off until he ran out the easy winner of a 6f handicap at Kempton in June (well backed); stiff task at Newmarket six weeks ago and the return to AW is in his favour.

Form & Verdict
Ran to a fair level on his first two starts before taking a marked step forward at Wolverhampton (6f) last month, still looking green off the bridle but coming home 6.5l to the good; gelded since; may have more to offer but he's into a red-hot event for his handicap debut.

Yet to win a handicap and he finished down the field on his seasonal return at Southwell in February; down in the weights but he has more to prove than many of these.

Easy win in 6f novice at Wolverhampton last June but he's not matched that form since; finished placed in two turf events in the autumn, but he didn't fire when favourite at Chelmsford in his final run last year; mark continues to fall but he's now 0-7 in handicaps and others are more convincing.

Form & Verdict
Made a winning return to action at Ripon in April (6f, good; first run after wind surgery); three creditable efforts in defeat have followed but on each occasion he's finished behind reopposing rivals; should run his race but may find others stronger for win purposes.

Made all at Ripon (6f, good) on last year's reappearance and ran well in defeat on next four starts (including over C&D) prior to two lesser runs to finish his campaign; returned to form with very close third of 16 in same Ripon race last month and this front-runner is an each-way contender.

Prominent racer; C&D winner on his seasonal return on this card 12 months ago; often ran well in good handicaps afterwards and although he ended 2025 with a couple of lesser efforts, he is likely to be seen to much better effect this time; should make a bold bid up the stands' rail.
