Form & Verdict
Group 1-class sprinter at his best but it's been a struggle this season since an encouraging start at Listed level and he now has his sights lowered for a first crack at a handicap; has a lot of weight and perhaps better at 6f than 5f.

These big-field 6f handicaps suit him down to the ground, and having finished fourth in the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood (good to soft) and the Portland at Doncaster (extended 5f, good) he led home 24 rivals in the Ayr Gold Cup (soft) last September; mostly in good form at Meydan this year but he's 10lb higher than at Ayr which is a big burden to carry.

9st 3lb

J: Luke Morris

T: Robert Cowell

Capitalised on his drop in the weights when coming from off the pace to win at Goodwood (5f, good) last month; disappointed back at Goodwood (6f, soft) 19 days ago; stable has stronger claims elsewhere.

J: Jamie Spencer

Ended a two-year barren spell when getting up late in a 5f handicap here 16 days; 3lb higher mark to deal with but he has a Group 3 win on his record and conditions won't faze him; respected.

Form & Verdict
Ex-French; didn't get the best of runs when pipped by Seven Questions here in May and overcame some bother in running to go one better at Doncaster last time (5f, good to firm); 4lb rise is fair and this sort of race should suit his style.

0-10 since arriving from France but twice finished runner-up in the spring (5f, good) and he was a close fifth in a tight finish at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) last week; might not be far away.

Runner-up on two of his starts this spring (both 5f, good) and he was contesting the competitive Dash at Epsom (5f, good to soft) when mid-division last time; this isn't so hot and he could be in the mix.

Form & Verdict
Two no-shows at Goodwood were at this meeting in 2023, including this race; however, provided the track doesn't pose any problems, he could be interesting after strong finishes in the Dash at Epsom and last time at Chester where a slow start was the last thing he needed; he should be coming home to some effect.

Prolific winner down the years and he arrives off an 11lb lower mark than when fifth in this 12 months ago; yet to shine this year (poor draw at Chester on penultimate start) but it wouldn't be a huge shock to see him fare better today.

Played his part in a strong pace last time at York yet hung around to finish a half-length behind winner Ziggy's Triton; has little margin for error off this mark and other pace influences temper enthusiasm.

Disappointing favourite two months ago at Windsor and, although only 3lb higher than when a clearcut winner back in the spring (5f, soft; fine on good), this demands a career best from him.

Markedly more exposed than Goyard but is similar in one respect, being 2-2 at Ripon; recent form is respectable enough to put him in calculations off a workable mark back at this course.

Verdict

There are front-runners drawn low, middle and high. Twilight Calls (second choice) did well to win from where he was at Newmarket and he's one of a few chances for the Richard Spencer yard, together with Rapper's Delight and Run Boy Run. The return of Oisin Murphy heightens interest in Adrestia who was second in this last year, and her latest run at Royal Ascot wasn't as bad as it may appear. The suggestion is SEVEN QUESTIONS who came from the clouds to nail Dyonisos on the line over C&D in May and has been ridden differently in his last two races. With a strong pace guaranteed, he might be able to deliver a telling late charge. Vintage Clarets can also feature.[Alistair Jones]
