Improved from his debut run at Doncaster (1m, soft) when runner-up at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) last December at 5-6; that latest form reads well and there can be optimism that this well-bred 3yo can continue to progress for his respected Newmarket trainer; key player.

T: John Butler

0-10 but he has regularly been placed and is running well this season, including when beaten 2l for fourth of five at Sandown (1m1f, good) four weeks ago; yard in fine form and he's got each-way claims again.

Similar type to The Joker, being a consistent maiden who ties in with Law Court on last-time running (over 1m at Newbury in first-time cheekpieces); again should give his running.

Maiden who is proving consistent and ran creditably at Ascot (1m, good) most recently; should give his running but chance of winning largely depends on the effects of first-time headgear.

Both runs at Doncaster (1m, soft) last autumn, faring slightly better when fourth of five on the second occasion; gelded since; not crying out for the longer trip on the dam's side of his pedigree.

Golden Story

9st 2lb

J: Clifford Lee

T: K R Burke

Brother to 1m4f Great Voltigeur third Arabian Force; rather pulled himself up in front when winning his only start as 2yo (1m, soft); still green on reappearance at Chester (1m2f, good) behind the subsequent French Derby winner Constitution River, but he stuck to his task well and that was even more the hallmark of his extremely narrow, front-running win in four-runner Listed race at Goodwood (1m3f, good) four weeks ago; the runner-up last time was again beaten a nose in the 1m6f Group 2 here on Wednesday; this one is getting the hang of it and a much bigger performance could be on its way.

Twice-raced colt who is open to additional improvement upped further in trip; won at Doncaster (1m, soft) in the autumn then rallied for third place in the Dee Stakes at Chester (1m2f, good; Listed) on reappearance; one of the main contenders.

Dante and Derby entry; by Lope De Vega out of well-bred mare whose three earlier offspring have best RPRs of 112, 103 and 112, including this one's brother the 2025 Great Voltigeur third Arabian Force; 13-8 favourite when winning a five-runner maiden at Doncaster (1m, soft) last October, leading 2f out and looking set for a wide-margin win before rather pulling himself up in the last half furlong; probably best forgiven that indiscretion first time out, in which case he's a good prospect for 1m2f+.

J: Harry Davies

T: William Haggas

Well-bred colt who delivered on earlier promise when readily drawing clear to justify odds-on favouritism in Pontefract novice (1m2f, good) in April, his third run; makes handicap debut after ten-week break but should still have a fair bit more to offer; respected.

In need of the experience when second of five in a 1m maiden at Doncaster (soft) last October; flattered by his proximity to the idling winner but it was still an encouraging start and today's extra yardage looks a big positive; leading contender.
