Comment: Unraced on softer than good; progressing and going up in trip has helped; front-running win when 4-6 at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) in June and he saw off a Prescott-trained hotpot to follow up at Ffos Las (1m4f, good) 18 days ago; up another 7lb but probably has more to give.

Comment: Unraced on softer than good; short-priced favourite on first three starts, travelling best on first two occasions but failing to get the job done; put that right by a neck when front-running at 4-7 in a Redcar maiden (1m2f) in May, which made Royal Ascot handicap (1m4f) look a very stiff task but he ran creditably in mid-division; likely to deliver better at some stage.

9/2

Comment: Unraced on softer than good; longer trips may well beckon judged on pedigree but she had front-running 1m4f wins in June in a maiden at Thirsk and handicap at Chester, before always behind from a wide draw in ten-runner race at Ascot in hat-trick bid; needs to bounce back and has another wide draw but she may still be able to resume front-running against these opponents.

20/1

Comment: Good chance on peak form, namely placed efforts at Newmarket (Listed) and Ascot (Group 3) last August/October; fourth in this race 12 months ago; far from solid on 2025 results, however, and it's over two years since his last success; others preferred.

25/1

Comment: Solid start to his career comprised a maiden success and two close seconds at Group 2 level; not in anything like the same form since, comfortably held in warm 3yo handicap most recently; chance depends on whether first-time hood prompts a turnaround.

Comment: Record of 2-9 for Ralph Beckett, both wins last season; best effort this term when second in Class 4 handicap at Salisbury in June; sold for 48,000gns since last run; this 4yo filly has the worst chance at the weights upped sharply in grade.

Jockey: T E Whelan Trainer: Ollie Sangster Age/Wt: 4/9-0 F: 5-1312 OR: 87

Comment: Ex-Irish filly who has form figures of 1312, all in Class 4 handicaps on good/firmer, for new stable; went close at Newmarket (6f) most recently and won at Chester (7f) the time before; better than ever but this task demands significant further progress.

Thunder Roar

Jockey: T Eaves Trainer: Tony Coyle & Kaine Wood Age/Wt: 6/9-13 F: 1-0020 OR: 94

Comment: First past the post (demoted to second) in the 2025 Spring Mile in most recent turf attempt; chance of compensation depends on what the weather does, as he needs ground softer than good.

Comment: Acts on soft and good to firm; successful twice over C&D, including in this race (off 3lb lower) in 2024; knocking at the door, having finished second elsewhere the last twice; respected.

Jockey: Jason Hart Trainer: Michael Herrington Age/Wt: 8/9-7 F: 211239 OR: 88

Comment: Very consistent on AW this year, scoring three times; failed to transfer the form back to turf on latest outing and still has an inferior strike-rate in this sphere; others preferred.

Comment: Record of 0-9 in France and 0-6 for the Kublers but he is competitively handicapped on best efforts; one to consider on debut for James Owen, especially if the market speaks favourably.

Comment: All wins at 7f/1m; inconsistent this term but has become attractively treated and last two efforts suggest this step back up in trip is worth exploring; interesting off 5lb below last winning mark.
