Comment: Respectable eighth of 23 in the November Handicap here (1m4f, soft) ended his 2024 campaign; gelded before his good third of 14 at Epsom (1m4f, good) this April on final start for Raphael Freire (same stable) but absent again since; no show at Royal Ascot 2024 on his only go at this sort of trip.

Comment: Close third in this race (good to soft) last year off 1lb higher; not seen this term until late July but she's shaped encouragingly at Glorious Goodwood and in the Ebor at York, in the latter every chance 2f out when good to firm ground may not have been ideal; probable player.

5 tips

5/1

Comment: Improver on turf in May/June, badly hampered on his latest turf start (probably acts on soft); has hit substantially greater heights over 2m on AW since, making up plenty of ground when a close second on Newcastle AW last time; that run makes him look one of the best handicapped in this race and this 3yo could still have more improvement in him.

13/2

Comment: Caught the eye with his late progress over 1m2f at this meeting last year but it wasn't until three weeks ago that he gained a deserved first win, justifying favouritism in a 1m4f maiden at Clairefontaine; first attempt at that trip had been a respectable show at York the time before; tries another new trip today and he's not dismissed.

8/1

Comment: He's 5lb lower than when completing a hat-trick last summer, having not come up to scratch this season; fourth of 15 in first-time blinkers at Haydock (1m6f) last Saturday, however, was his most competitive display for a while and gives him each-way claims.

Comment: Brother to top-class Ghaiyyath; last season ended in June; failed to make a serious impact in Group/Listed races this term before his fourth of 14 off this mark on handicap debut at Glorious Goodwood (1m6f, good to soft) six weeks ago; needs to build on that but has each-way claims.

Comment: AW hat-trick early this year but he came up short in his five starts since, given wind surgery after the second of those; last two outings (1m6f) were far and away his best turf form, tenth in the Ebor last time, but he needs better still; cheekpieces (last worn in 2023) return.

20/1

Comment: Tailed off lame in the 2023 Northumberland Plate on final start for Keith Dalgleish (same owners); has plenty of stamina in the pedigree and stuck on from last into a respectable sixth in nine-runner handicap at Goodwood (2m, soft; 2lb lower today) on return this June; stepping back in trip was not intended for his next start but he's been withdrawn from two 2m races since due to good to firm ground; needs a second look.

Jockey: Tom Marquand Trainer: L Wadham Age/Wt: 7/8-13 F: 604841 OR: 89

40/1

Comment: 53 races already (17 over hurdles) and six wins before he made his first appearance over 1m6f three weeks ago, winning it in good style in first-time blinkers at Newmarket (good to firm; acts on soft); only five ran in that race and he's gone back up 5lb but it could be argued that he's not fully exposed either in blinkers or at this sort of trip.

Comment: Front-runner who had four wins over 1m2f this January-March and was a close fourth of 19 over 2m in the Northumberland Vase in June, all on the Newcastle AW; last three performances (back at Newcastle) make him look opposable, however, as does the big majority of his turf form.

Jockey: K Shoemark Trainer: O Murphy Age/Wt: 5/9-2 F: 50- OR: 92

125/1

Comment: One win (1m6f in Germany in 2023) from 20 races; seen mostly over hurdles in 2024 and 2025, performing inconsistently, and now has his first Flat run since soundly beaten in two major races over marathon trips last summer; this trip may be a better fit but he still has questions to answer.

Comment: Headgear and Rab Havlin all starts; not straightforward but he nearly always gives his running and won this race last year (good to soft; acts on any) with significantly greater authority than the 1l margin suggests, having been second in it the year before; not quite at his best when half a length in front of Sunway at Goodwood; he does not have the top stayers to worry about today and looks set for a big run in his Doncaster Cup defence.

Comment: Unraced on softer than good; emphatic wins in his first three handicaps, here on second occasion; the winning sequence ended on latest outing but he was a close second that day to the subsequent Melrose winner; has a fair bit to find on form but this 3yo should be open to further progress and he's a dark horse venturing beyond 14.5f for the first time.

Comment: There was a hiccup on penultimate start (possibly pressed too strong a pace) but she's otherwise been steadily progressive in handicaps; came from off the pace for a narrow win when upped to 1m4f at Brighton latest; may have more in the tank but this is a much stronger race and all her success has been on AW or good to firm.

Comment: Versatile as regards ground; generally consistent and last two efforts (6f/5f; runner-up both times) suggests he's on his way back to winning form; one for the shortlist.

8/1

Comment: Has made the frame in most outings this term and could well rebound from a lesser effort last time; scored over C&D (good to firm; off 2lb lower) last year; one to consider.

Comment: Not in top form since reappearance but will be an interesting type when back on slower ground; has a record of 1112 in 6f contests on softer than good; mark is workable.

10/1

Comment: All out to win over C&D (soft; off 2lb higher) last October; has lacked consistency since, including here; chance partly depends on how well he responds to new headgear.

Comment: Increased his AW tally with wins the last twice and remains well treated on best form; likely player provided the weather works in his favour (needs soft ground on turf).

Comment: Disappointing on suitably soft ground at Ascot last Friday in 7f classified event he'd won 12 months earlier; 0-6 for current yard and now drops to sprinting for first time.

Comment: Showed promise in spring novice events over 7f and the form has substance; open to progress now handicapping, assuming he copes with drop in distance; interesting.

Comment: Recorded a comfortable success over C&D (good to firm) in June but the rest of his 2025 form is mostly duck eggs; not sure what to expect, even though he's back here.
