Form & Verdict
Won at Chester (5f, good) last May and he's run some good races in big fields since including at York four days ago; finished eighth of 21 in that race but he didn't get much luck and that was an eye-catching effort after 235 days off; interesting contender.

Built on an eye-catching reappearance (over this C&D) when justifying strong support in handicap at Windsor (5f, good) in May; only fourth to Washington Heights in Listed event at Carlisle next time but has had a break since and may well bounce back; has real possibilities if he does.

7yo who recorded his 13th win when making all off a reduced mark at Bath (5f, good) two weeks ago; 3lb higher on this step back up in grade but he remains well treated on his best form and is 2-2 over C&D, including a success off current mark in this race 12 months ago; key player.

Little margin for error off this mark and this is a deeper race than the Lingfield handicap (5f, AW) in which he finished second three weeks ago; the new tongue-tie needs to have a positive effect.

Form & Verdict
Won three 5f handicaps in 2025; continued to run well on his first three starts this year but he didn't really fire behind a stablemate at Goodwood (5f, good) last time; that took his losing run up to ten and he needs to get back near his best.

Won the Palace Of Holyroodhouse Handicap at Royal Ascot (5f) last June and hard to knock her subsequent defeats including a near-miss at Glorious Goodwood; returns after 239 days off but she still looks feasibly treated and was a good third over C&D on her reappearance last season; dangerous.

Enjoyed her finest hour when readily seeing off 23 rivals at the Royal meeting last June; her 2026 campaign had been underwhelming but she responded well to the addition of cheekpieces when finding only Ancient State (pair clear) too strong at Doncaster (5f, good) three weeks ago; back up 4lb but likely to be involved again.

T: Simon & Ed Crisford

Yet to hit top gear after four runs this term (tongue tied last three) but didn't have the run of the race at Glorious Goodwood last time (9-1 in big field); withdrawn once since when the ground was good to soft, so she is untested on ground slower than good; down the weights and cheekpieces go on.

Form & Verdict
Dual 5f winner as a 2yo for Peter Chapple-Hyam and he also scored three times in France/Italy last year; raised his form to a new level in the second half of last season but he failed to beat a rival on stable debut at Goodwood 17 days ago; comes with risks attached after that and he needs to bounce back.

Better than ever in 2026 and seen to good effect when making all at Ffos Las and Ascot (5f; good and good to firm; acts on good to soft) in midsummer; couldn't cope with a total rise of 12lb in the Shergar Cup since and an easy lead looks unlikely but he could be well positioned from his draw and give it a good shot.
