7/2

Comment: Two 5f wins as a 2yo, notably a C&D nursery, before coming up short in Listed/conditions races on final two runs in 2024; promising reappearance last month was built on when she powered home to win the Palace of Holyroodhouse Stakes at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) 15 days ago; that latest performance smacked of one who could make a mark at Pattern level and she's respected, for all that another step forward is required.

Comment: Smart on his day, as when winning last season's Group 2 Temple Stakes at Haydock (5f, soft); low-key reappearance at York but much more like it when fifth of 20 in the Group 1 King Charles III at Ascot (good to firm) last month, keeping on well and doing easily the best of those drawn low (seven of the first eight home came from double-figure stalls); seems to handle most ground and he's a strong contender with this stiff track looking likely to suit.

Comment: Three wins, including Listed, in a productive 3yo campaign; more progress this year, second to Rumstar in the Palace House before filling same position in the Group 2 Temple Stakes at Haydock six weeks ago (both 5f, good); raced away from the winner last time and can probably be upgraded; drying ground no problem; of interest, for all that the return of cheekpieces is slightly surprising (running well since blinkers went on).

Comment: Better than ever when proving too strong for She's Quality in the Group 3 Palace House Stakes at Newmarket on his reappearance; no better than midfield in the Temple and King Charles III since; likely vulnerable trying to give weight away all round.

Balmoral Lady

Jockey: K Shoemark Trainer: Ed Walker Age/Wt: 4/9-2 F: 2-319 OR: 102

9/1

Comment: She has made giant strides since making her handicap debut off a mark of 69 at Haydock last July, winning five times, most recently in Listed race at Haydock in May (5f, good); only ninth at Royal Ascot but she raced furthest from the main action and still looked in peak form; drying ground wouldn't be ideal, though, and she has the widest stall to overcome.

Comment: Made all by 4l at Windsor (1m, good to firm) in May on second start and readily followed up in Newbury novice (1m, good); up in grade today but she's been impressive and is a half-sister to two Listed winners, with her dam a Group 3 winner; trainer (runs two) won this in 2015 and 2021; entered in the Group 1 Matron Stakes at Leopardstown in September and she's a key player.

Comment: Made it two wins from her three starts when scoring on last month's handicap and seasonal debut at Nottingham (1m, good; unraced on faster); others have stronger form but she did it nicely and is open to further improvement for a trainer who has won three of the last six runnings; respected.

Comment: Ran well under a penalty in C&D Group 3 on reappearance for sole defeat (5-5 otherwise); subsequently impressive and value for more than the winning margin in the Group 1 Prince Of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot (good to firm) on first Group 1 attempt, trapped behind horses before eventually finding room and beating a solid opponent by 2l going away; looks well capable of following up, being top on ratings and still improving.

Comment: Landed the 2,000 Guineas, albeit having got first run on the somewhat unlucky Field Of Gold, then was trained for the Derby but missed that Classic as the ground was deemed not fast enough (has raced only on good/firmer); tackling 1m at Royal Ascot backfired as his speed looked blunted after being geared up for 1m4f at Epsom; definitely ready for this step up in distance and he was very progressive prior to last time.

Comment: Ran encouragingly without genuinely threatening in three qualifying runs at 1m but this Frankel half-brother to Arc heroine Bluestocking was strong in the betting for all of those and may yet do appreciably better; brings significant potential into handicaps now sent over further.

Comment: Clearly underestimated by the handicapper when showing a willing attitude at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to firm) in late April; he's in a lot deeper here and off a 7lb higher mark, so has to step up again; that's perfectly feasible, however.

Comment: Went up 12lb for winning two Class 5s over 1m2f (good to firm/good to soft) but confirmed himself progressive with a second over C&D 22 days ago; however, the winner had his measure with a degree of comfort and this might take even more winning.

Jockey: Ashley Lewis Trainer: Gary & Josh Moore Age/Wt: 3/8-4 F: 066-65 OR: 58

Comment: Huge odds in his qualifying races and ran accordingly; odds of 5-1 and 6-5 for his two handicaps but, although more competitive, he wasn't that threatening; the hood tried last time is replaced by a tongue-tie; 3lb out of the handicap today; needs more and a 7lb claimer takes over.

Comment: Made progress with virtually every run at 1m and 1m1f (on good to firm and good) earlier, doing well to be a close third of 13 in a strong Newmarket handicap in May; a remote finish in the Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot (11-1) last month was a setback but it wouldn't surprise if his return to form was swift in this much less competitive race.

Comment: Has flourished over 1m2f, having no problem with the steep finish at Newmarket (good to firm) nor when beating a progressive one over C&D (good; first-time tongue-tie, retained) in June; now 13lb higher than for the first of them and his low weight means Oisin Murphy has to switch but there should be more to come.

Comment: Usually ridden patiently at about 1m4f in recent times but he made the running when fourth of 17 at Glorious Goodwood (good) last July, on most recent attempt at 1m2f (off this mark); found wanting since a convincing winner at Meydan in March and needs more for the now-rare 1m2f run.

Comment: Progressive in 2023 and best form yet when a steady late surge over C&D (good) last August took him past a useful one to lead near the line; he wasn't seen again until York in May where he travelled well for a long way but just eased home in ninth once his winning chance had gone; the stronger the pace the better; can go well.
