Won a three-runner maiden at Doncaster in May on second start; well beaten in the Group 2 Dante at York (good to firm) in May, with better form for minor honours at 1m2f (on softer than good) in his two starts since but this race requires a chunk of improvement.

J: Tom Marquand

T: Ed Walker

Didn't race last year having had an injury, and not entered in the Derby; second to subsequent Esher Cup winner on debut at Kempton (1m, AW) last month and easily won three-runner maiden at 2-13 at Doncaster (1m2f, good) 12 days ago; takes huge leap in grade today but this 425,000gns yearling, whose dam won a Group 2, could have lots more to offer; not ruled out each-way.

0-8 since debut win last July but they've all been Group/Listed races; second in the Group 2 Royal Lodge (1m, soft) last September and ran his best race of this season when 2l third of five in Group 3 Winter Hill Stakes at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) last month; holds leading form claims.

J: Silvestre De Sousa

T: Andrew Balding

Respectable fourth in this contest last year but showed better form, including success in conditions race and third-place finishes at Listed/Group level, over 1m2f/1m3f later in 2025; doesn't seem to be crying out for this drop back in trip on reappearance.

Heavy-ground 2yo winner who can be headstrong and might appreciate this drop back in trip; has shown some strong form but it's a notch below what the other two have achieved.

Reserve; has usually run with credit here, including on good to firm in May, and scored (from Night Breeze) with first-time cheekpieces under Warren Fentiman at Epsom 13 days ago; however, his only two wins from 15 races have both been at Epsom in the mud and he's also now gone back up 6lb.

J: Hector Crouch

T: Gary & Josh Moore

First reserve; has never won away from Epsom, where he excelled on a mud-splattered Derby day ten days ago (1m4f, soft; first-time cheekpieces); it's unwise to take that form at face value and a 6lb rise can find him out, especially on this forecast faster surface.

8st 8lb

J: Warren Fentiman

T: Gary & Josh Moore

Housed in a stable that rarely misidentifies its geese as swans, so the fact he's been highly tried on occasions is interesting; 1-14 record is therefore frustrating but the win did come here as a juvenile (8.5f, heavy) and he gets first-time cheekpieces today; suspicion he's capable of a big run with Warren Fentiman an unusual booking for the yard.
