Comment: 8yo who won this race last year and has taken seven Group 3s in all, the first in 2020 and the latest at Sandown this April; held up, usually in last place, which sometimes does not give him the run of the race but he's reliable and should be capable of another big run (dropped back in class after Royal Ascot) on anything but heavy going.

Comment: Made it four wins from first five starts when impressive in Group 3 Classic Trial at Sandown (1m2f, good to soft; won twice on soft as 2yo) last April; missed the rest of 2024 and has not sparked in the same way in his three outings this season, gelded before latest; mixed messages but returning to softer ground today could be a big plus point.

Comment: Placed in last year's Derby and Irish Derby for James Fanshawe; well below that form in all three outings (1m1f, 1m4f and 1m2f) this season for James Owen, pulling too hard, and he's since been gelded; Sean D Bowen will also be his fourth different jockey this term; the best form, but only if he returns to last year's level.

Comment: Well below form in his sole run on softer than good (on soft in France last September); last year's best shows were at 1m3f-1m6f but he delivered a big career best this May when close second in 1m2f Goodwood Listed race; two backward steps over 1m2f since see him back up in trip today; form chance relies on that one performance three starts back, so others look more solid.

Comment: 7yo who's been lightly raced in recent years; has never raced on soft and not seen on good to soft since he was a bit below his best in this race in 2023; won one Listed race last May (made all) and another four weeks ago but he probably needs to return to 2023 form if he's to be competitive today.

Comment: Maiden win on soft and his best form in a progressive 2024 came on good to soft; a notch higher this term, winning tidily in 1m4f Ascot handicap last time; today's contest would require a fair bit better in normal circumstances but he's heading the right way and there are question marks over his rivals.

Comment: Won on soft ground both on debut and on latest start; the latter was a steadily run, ten-runner Listed race over 1m2f here eight weeks ago in which she asserted in grand fashion in the final 1f; suitability of this extra 4f is a bit of a guess and the company is much more demanding but she's had only four races and made quite an impression last time.

Comment: Better than ever since sent back to the Flat after three runs over fences during the winter; justified favouritism in a 1m6f Listed race at Gowran Park, 2m Listed event at Down Royal and 1m6f Group 3 at Fairyhouse on last three outings, all on good ground; more to prove on soft (despite winning a maiden hurdle) but she needs major respect.

Comment: Rapidly improving sprinter who blitzed his rivals in 6f handicaps at Southwell and Chester (impressed from a bad draw) in the spring; came up just short in the Palace Of Holyroodhouse at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm), an effort that earned him another 4lb rise; returning to 6f will suit and his Group 1 entry next month is a clear indicator of the regard in which he's held; best days still ahead of him and that doesn't apply to many of his rivals.

Comment: Ended 2024 with two wins in blinkers, notably a deep 6f handicap at the York Ebor meeting where he won cosily, looking a strong contender for major sprint honours this year; has taken a while to warm up this year but everything clicked at York last week (cheekpieces back on and also tongue tied for the first time) when he travelled strongly before producing a telling burst to lead inside the final furlong; on the face of it, a 6lb penalty for that neck success makes life extremely difficult (officially 3lb wrong) but he could well be the type that saves a bit for himself; best form on good or faster.

Comment: Sprang a 40-1 surprise in this race 12 months ago, making all to beat Apollo One with the stands' rail proving advantageous; unsuccessful stint in Bahrain early in the year saw his handicap mark ease and he's returned to Britain with a bang, making all at Ascot (6f, good to firm; strong tailwind) in May and repeating the dose in the Wokingham there six weeks ago; only 4lb higher and foolish to think he couldn't slip the field again.

Comment: Has let his supporters down in a host of top handicaps since looking to have the sprinting scene at his mercy in early 2023; has run to form only sporadically in the last two years but his good days are still very good, as when third in last season's Wokingham off a 3lb higher mark; never threatened in this year's Wokingham but it was after an absence and better can be expected this afternoon; stable won this in 2015 and 2019.

40/1

Comment: One of the success stories of the year in 2024, winning seven times; showed bright speed before tiring on last week's return from a 308-day absence; should be that bit sharper today but defying this mark in a race like this as a 9yo may prove beyond him.

Comment: He's run some good races in defeat this year, notably his third at York's Dante meeting (5f, good to firm; off 1lb lower); would be 5lb lower if running off his current mark though and the addition of cheekpieces isn't enough to tempt.

Comment: Thrice-raced gelding who readily justified favouritism in Haydock maiden (7f, good) most recently, building on his second-place finishes; bred to prove a lot better than his opening mark, being by Dubawi and the first foal of his connections' triple Foret winner One Master; promising contender.

Comment: Yet to encounter ground softer than good; far from discredited from unfavourable draw upped to 1m in the Britannia at Royal Ascot last time; progressive over 7f otherwise and registered a C&D success, narrowly beating a hat-trick seeker, in his only other start this season; remains of interest.

Comment: Two wins at Chester (7.5f, soft/good) since being gelded, taking form figures on turf to 711 and overall strike-rate to 3-6; raced mainly at sharp/turning, left-handed tracks and goes into unknown territory on this right-handed course; otherwise, open to further progress.

Comment: Unraced on slower than good; gelded after final 2yo start and has a strike-rate of 3-5 (over 6f/7f) this term, with plausible excuses for the two defeats, latest switched to Tapeta and the other over C&D when repeatedly denied room; back on turf he may still have more to offer.

Comment: Useful last term, the highlight a Group 3 win at Newmarket (7f, soft); has much weaker claims on 2025 form and still needs to prove he's trained on; admittedly may derive some benefit from the switch to a handicap.

Comment: Improved on debut effort when beaten 2l over this trip at Salisbury (good to firm) and the winner finished fourth in the Group 2 Vintage here this week; this colt wasn't overly strong through the line that day but it's good form and cheekpieces are added.

Comment: Ran four times during last season's 2yo campaign (good to firm/good); won at Newbury (7f) on second start and followed up in Ripon novice (1m), then 4l fifth of eight in Listed race at Haydock last September when last seen; has an absence to defy but interesting if he attracts market support.

Killybegs Warrior

Jockey: P Cosgrave Trainer: George Baker Age/Wt: 5/9-4 F: 030-05 OR: 87

40/1

Comment: Placed twice in a row in Bahrain earlier this year and didn't run badly when fifth of seven at Windsor in June following a three-month break; could build on that latest run and continues to drop down the weights, but he's without a win since July 2023 and others are more compelling.

Primo Lara

Jockey: Daniel Muscutt Trainer: Jack Morland Age/Wt: 4/9-4 F: 108-55 OR: 87

40/1

Comment: Looked one to follow when winning his first two handicaps in May 2024 for Jane Chapple-Hyam; however, unplaced on his four runs since and changed hands for 65,000gns last month; needs to turn things around in a first-time tongue-tie on his stable debut.

40/1

Comment: Lightly raced 4yo who is opposable on the majority of his form but he won a soft-ground novice at Windsor (1m) last term and was a good fourth of ten in handicap at Kempton (1m, AW) last month; slow ground would aid his cause.

Jockey: David Probert Trainer: Charlie Johnston Age/Wt: 5/9-1 F: 045952 OR: 84

40/1

Comment: Two wins at Lingfield (1m/7.6f, AW/good to firm) in the spring and second of three at Beverley (7.5f, soft) last time; has won here but there's a suspicion he'll be vulnerable now back up in grade.

Comment: Won two in a row last summer (1m/8.6f, AW) and returned from two-month break to finish third of ten on yard debut at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) in June; may be able to build on that last run and is not ruled out each-way.

100/1

Comment: He's 8lb lower than when fourth in the 2023 Cambridgeshire for Ed Bethell; however, he struggled on his four runs last season and changed hands for 55,000gns last October; wind op since; probably best watched on stable debut.

Comment: Unlucky second in the Golden Mile here in 2022 and he's down to a dangerous mark, 3lb lower than for York win last July; however, his form has been mixed this season and his claims aren't compelling; 33-1, midfield from wide draw with this reapplied tongue-tie in the Golden Mile here yesterday.

Silent Film

Jockey: D Egan Trainer: Ian Williams Age/Wt: 7/9-7 F: 588-77 OR: 90

Comment: 7yo who is without a win since September 2023 and doesn't appear to be the force of old, but he returned from a break at Newcastle (1m, AW) in June and that seventh gives him something to build on; now 8lb lower than when mid-division in last season's Golden Mile here; not ruled out.
