9/2 11/2 9/2
Ready winner of a C&D handicap last summer off a 12lb lower mark; better than ever when a close fourth in a Wolverhampton Listed race in March and he faced a stiff task at Haydock three weeks ago; should give his running but could find one or two stronger back in handicap company.
AI verdict

SR 79 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at .

Enhanced his excellent course record when narrowly landing a 5f handicap at the May meeting; stays 7f but rarely seen at the trip now; may prove vulnerable to stronger stayers.
AI verdict

SR 81 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Three wins and boasted some strong form when trained in France; 80-1 and never threatened on his stable debut six weeks ago; Ian Williams looks to have stronger claims elsewhere.

Front-runner; 4-4 on AW but unplaced in both turf runs; he will need a career best to come out on top but he is well drawn to attack and still has low mileage.

Finished close up in fifth in the Britannia Stakes at Royal Ascot last year (1m, good to firm); his 3yo campaign rather fizzled out but he dropped in the weights as a result and took full advantage with his 7.6f success here 24 days ago; well drawn again and a 4lb rise isn't beyond him.

Slow-starter; on a dangerous mark but he is without a win since October 2023 and one 7f run didn't see him improve for the trip.

Narrow winner of a competitive 1m handicap at Lingfield on Good Friday; two midfield finishes this month and he will need a career best to come out on top in this field.

Ex-French; low-key stable debut at Haydock in April but he fared much better when sixth, beaten under 3l, behind stablemate Supido here (7.6f, good) 24 days ago; he hasn't fared so kindly with the draw this time.

Useful 2yo for Joseph O'Brien; poorly drawn and finished well beaten in a C&D handicap on stable debut this month (100-1); he has fared better with the draw today but others still look more appealing.

Course winner (7.6f, soft) for Andrew Balding last summer; not beaten far in the 7.6f handicap won by Supido 24 days ago (poor draw) and confirmed that promise with a Class 3 win at Thirsk a fortnight ago (7f, good); a 3lb rise shouldn't prove beyond him and Warren Fentiman's claim is a bonus.

Transformed by blinkers this year, making all in three 1m handicaps at Chelmsford; well drawn to attack but he will need a big personal best to score at this level.
