Two 6f wins (both on good) last summer but unable to maintain progress and he was tried in cheekpieces last September; never involved on recent comeback at Newmarket but he may come on plenty on just his second run since wind surgery with a tongue-tie fitted.

T: George Scott

Two 6f wins last summer; not at his best at Chester when last seen but he was drawn wide and there were possible trip/ground excuses too (wore cheekpieces which are absent today); has undergone wind surgery over the winter; returns for a stable ticking along nicely; may have more to offer.

Odds-on when easily winning a Haydock nursery (6f, good) and so nearly won another when again short odds on fast ground at Ascot; not disgraced in two sales races since then but has a wide draw to contend with here on his first run at 5f; tries cheekpieces.

Form & Verdict
Never got involved in the Listed National Stakes at Sandown (5f) but had posted a useful RPR in winning her novice on the AW over 6f the time before; her debut run here was also likeable; brings potential into nurseries.

Won twice over 6f as a 2yo, including an Ascot nursery off 4lb lower; she needs to leave her Newmarket reappearance well behind if she is come out on top this time.

J: Ryan Moore

T: Richard Hughes

Gained her handicap success at a major track (6f) but against only three rivals and faces a tougher scenario in this deeper field; 4lb rise for final effort (fifth in substandard AW Group 3) adds to the difficulty; on a positive note, there is a chance she can still improve further.

Form & Verdict
The RPR he recorded in winning at Hamilton (6f, good; beat subsequent winner) bodes well with a view to this initial mark and it was always going to be tough in the Windsor Castle; respected.

Dual 6f winner, latterly a Haydock nursery on good to firm in August; respectable efforts in defeat since, including on good soft, and down to only 1lb above the mark he defied at Haydock.

Off the mark in Hamilton maiden (good; second start) in June and won a Haydock nursery (also 6f; good to firm) in August; first attempt at 7f came in a warm York handicap and looked like that experiment was worth repeating back at 6f last time; respected on AW debut.

Made it two wins from his five starts when landing Haydock nursery (6f, good to firm) last month; merely mid-division at York since but in a hotter race than this; has shown promise on good to soft; has a chance.

Form & Verdict
Ran well in two of his three qualifying runs and rain-hit ground might not have suited when fourth of five on last week's nursery debut at Haydock; steps up to 6f for the first time and that could also assist.

Kickstarted 2026 with gutsy 5f Southwell success in April but suffered early interference when ninth in 5f Chester handicap nine days ago; it would come as no surprise to see him bounce back.

Effective on good to firm ground but his best turf results have come on a slower surface; got the better of Ambishio at Southwell on reappearance four weeks ago; found plenty for pressure there and should give it another good go.

Busy 2yo who came into his own in the autumn, wide-margin 5f winner at Ffos Las (heavy) and creditable shows over 6f (soft and heavy) on final two starts; unraced on AW and prolific winning sibling Spoof was 0-11 on sand for this yard so has some questions to answer.
