J: Rob Hornby

T: Jonathan Portman

Tough 7yo with a fine C&D record; might have needed the run at Glorious Goodwood after five months off, and fared much better when fourth at Chester two weeks ago; that should have put him spot-on for this and he has real each-way claims.

First of two wins over C&D came in this contest in 2024 off 4lb lower; had a fruitful AW winter campaign; reported to have met with a setback when being readied for Chester's May meeting and returned only when beating just one home in the Golden Mile at Goodwood (1m, good to firm) recently; has a high draw to contend with here and is 3lb higher than his last winning mark.

A $1,250,000 yearling; bred to excel on the AW but was only workmanlike in winning a 1m maiden at Killarney in May and this represents a stiff test for one so inexperienced; blinkers on for the first time.

Tribal Chief

J: Sean Levey

T: David Menuisier

Has contested the Lincoln, Victoria Cup and Golden Mile this year, looking unlucky in first two and blowing the start in last-named; very dangerous if everything clicks, although his stamina for this longer trip has to be taken on trust (well held on both previous attempts at 1m1f/1m2f).

Comes with a degree of risk as he's often slowly away and needs the cards to drop right; however, form this term includes placed efforts in two major handicaps, while Goodwood record comprises a creditable sixth in this race 12 months ago and success next time; this may be the day to catch him, with renowned hold-up wizard Jamie Spencer up for first time.

Held up these days; four AW wins (7f/1m) but none since 2024; 0-17 on turf but he's been competitive at Goodwood (7f/1m) on last two outings and was a close fourth in this race last year; blinkered once (below form) last year and now it's a visor which replaces his usual cheekpieces.

All four wins have been on Newcastle AW but he's still lightly raced on turf; finished in mid-division in the Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot (7f) last time but he was runner-up in a Class 3 there (1m, good to firm) on his penultimate run; has claims if he can recapture that form and he's in the mix back up in trip.

Has won at this track on soft; upped markedly to 1m3f at Southwell (AW) last month and led 2f out until three rivals went past in the final 1f; that was a good run, followed admittedly by a lesser show at York but that was over 1m4f; could be a player back here at 1m1f.

Acts on soft; unproven beyond 1m and unraced beyond 1m1f until he tried 1m3f at Southwell (AW) 15 days ago and led 2f out until three rivals went past in the final 1f; that was a good run and his dam won at this trip but others clearly have less to prove in this hot 1m4f race.
