On a roll on the AW when winning a Listed 7f race in March and then contested three Group contests; trailed home last back in a handicap at Haydock (behind Jumby) but he's better than that and now has his tongue tied.

J: Jason Watson

Ties in with Golden Mind on Musselburgh running but the pair of them are facing a stiffer assignment in this major prize; remains useful on turf but a lower mark in this sphere reflects that his peak form, namely dual Listed honours, has been shown on AW.

J: Kevin Stott

Made his name on AW but he can do it on turf when the ground is quick, as when a cosy winner at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) in August; has since added a second Listed AW event, at Southwell in November, but the Saudi Arabia venture came to nothing in February and he has ground worries today.

Record of 8-42 on turf, the most recent win at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) last July; finished last on his AW return in March and no impact when beaten 10l in Doncaster's Spring Mile a fortnight later, but he's won over 1m and there's nothing wrong with this mark.

Two-time Group winner over 7f but is on a near three-year losing spell and current mark reflects that he's not the force of old (admittedly showed bits of useful form in 2025); needs to step up on reappearance effort; failed to shine in the last two runnings of this contest.

Won sole 2yo start (7f, AW); three runs this year, with a fair sixth at Leicester (6f, good to firm) last time on handicap debut; improvement needed but he's been gelded since and his trainer has won the last two runnings; interesting to see how he goes in the betting.

Dual turf winner for Tom Clover (7f/1m) last year, but seems to have lost his way including on stable debut at York (1m, good; first-time hood) last month; new yard may find the key to him at some stage and he is a half-brother to an AW winner; worth a market check.

Progressive mare who scored for the eighth time when beating 18-runner field at Newmarket (7f, good) at last month's Craven meeting; might need some luck in running if the field gravitates to the stands' side but thoroughly deserves this first crack at a Pattern race, with the ceiling of her ability probably yet to be reached.

Steady improver who scored three times last year, including here (1m) in May and on the July course (7f, also good to firm) two months later; also landed valuable big-field fillies' handicap at York which bodes well for this test; should be ready to roll on this return and she's much respected.

9st 12lb

J: William Buick

T: William Knight

The winner of seven of her 18 starts, three of the wins coming this year (including both here and the July course); finished with a flourish to beat 17 rivals at York's Ebor meeting five weeks ago and a 5lb rise doesn't look excessive; drying ground in her favour but dropping to 6f asks a new question of her; this is likely to be well run, however, and she's a contender.
