J: Kieran O’Neill

T: Ian Williams

Front-runner who won two in a row in the first half of summer (5f, good) but he finished down the field at Glorious Goodwood (5f, good to firm) and it was the same story at Pontefract (5f, good to firm) on Sunday.

3yo who made all in eight-runner handicap at Goodwood (5f, good) in June and rallied to follow up at Sandown (5f, good), beating four rivals; down the field at Glorious Goodwood last time but he's back into a smaller field today and could give it a good go from the front.

Form & Verdict
Fairly useful on his day; good second over C&D last summer and made all at Chester this spring; has faced mostly difficult tasks otherwise this term but is the least solid contender on 2026 bare form; behind unexposed Westport at Royal Ascot.

J: Harry Vigors

Drawn in stall 9 when making all over C&D at the May meeting; up and down since but he is well drawn, on a winning mark and won't mind what the weather does; talented apprentice takes off a valuable 5lb.

J: Oisin Orr

T: Grace Harris

Made all at Chester (5f, good) this spring and two of his last three defeats have come in very big fields at the major festivals; ran well to be beaten a short head in between and he shouldn't mind any easing of conditions; mark okay and could go well back down in grade.

Made all at Chester this spring and always prominent when narrowly denied in a small field at Sandown latest (5f, good; second run in cheekpieces); probably worth taking on, with consistency not his forte.

Form & Verdict
Useful and broadly consistent sprinter whose Listed/Group form includes a 2yo win at Royal Ascot; faced a stiffer task in the Commonwealth Cup back there last time; has earned top weight on handicap debut and looks one of the main players; wears first-time headgear.

J: Callum Hutchinson

T: Eve Johnson Houghton

Won the Windsor Castle over C&D at last year's Royal meeting; there have been flickers of promise but essentially it has been a disappointing campaign in 2026; headgear experiment now aborted; down in the weights but others look safer.

Smart 2yo, including a Royal Ascot win (5f, good to firm); 0-5 this year but he has run some solid races, including here; gelded prior to a poor run in the Shergar Cup here four weeks ago (finished lame); tongue tied/blinkered for the first time (has run well in cheekpieces).

Form & Verdict
Consistent sort who has Listed/Group form; couple of good efforts since switched to handicap level, close second at Windsor latest; campaigned over 6f since last July but recorded his sole win (debut) over 5f; very solid claims, belatedly returned to this distance.

Useful 2yo, highly tried after his winning debut at Salisbury; third in his two runs this year, latterly in a Newmarket handicap last month (6f, good to firm); drawn wide but likely to give it another good go.
