Diego Ventura 21 days

J: Rowan Scott

T: Hamad Al Jehani

Form: 533-67

OR: 104

W: 10st 2lb

Age: 4 yo Colt

Form

He's tended to ply his trade in Group and Listed races and he was a Listed winner at Longchamp (7f, good to soft) last May; beaten just under 4l when seventh of 18 at York (1m, good) three weeks ago on his first handicap start and this is less competitive; could be in the mix.

Botanical 33 days

J: Mr Jack Nicholls

T: K R Burke

Form: 585-49 CD

OR: 103

W: 10st 1lb

Age: 6 yo Gelding

Form

Well beaten at Newmarket last month but he failed to settle and looked unsuited by the track; prior to that he was a promising fourth in the Lincoln at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) on his stable debut and there's mileage in his mark on his old form; has won over C&D and he's one to consider.

Al Mubhir 33 days

J: Kevin Stott

T: Kevin Ryan

Form: 3500-0 D

OR: 99

W: 9st 11lb

Age: 7 yo Colt

Form

Listed win at Sandown in July 2024 and well treated on that form; however, he drew a blank during his 2025 Australian campaign and was soundly beaten on last month's stable debut in the Thirsk Hunt Cup; something to prove.

Eternal Force 68 days

J: Tom Marquand

T: William Haggas

Form: 2111-7 D

OR: 96

W: 9st 8lb

Age: 4 yo Gelding

Form

Made it 3-3 since being gelded (good to firm/good to soft) when winning by 3l at Haydock (1m) last October; reappeared with respectable seventh of 21 in the Lincoln at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) and this lightly raced 4yo could build on that latest effort today; firmly in calculations.

Theoryofeverything 21 days

J: Daniel Tudhope

T: David O’Meara

Form: 508-05 CD

OR: 92

W: 9st 4lb

Age: 6 yo Gelding

Form

Ran well when fifth of 18 at York (1m, good) three weeks ago on his second start of the season; his four wins (one here) have come on soft going so slower ground today would aid his cause; could be a contender.

Two B Tanned 28 days

J: Tom Kiely Marshall

T: Julie Camacho

Form: 537-18 D

OR: 88

W: 9st 0lb

Age: 5 yo Filly

Form

Front-runner who won five times last April-July (1m-1m1f) and improved again when making all at Musselburgh (1m, good) in April on her reappearance; well beaten at Redcar 11 days later when unpenalised and 8lb higher mark has now kicked in, but she's not written off; unproven on slow ground.

Altareq 20 days

J: Lauren Young

T: Jim Goldie

Form: 632-3

OR: 83

W: 8st 11lb

Age: 4 yo Colt

Form

Went close in Newbury maiden (1m2f, good) last May on third and final outing for Gosdens and, having been detached early, he was a very promising third of 15 on his stable/handicap debut at York (1m2f, good) three weeks ago; well bred and could take a sizeable step forward from that latest effort.

Betting Forecast

13/2 Diego Ventura, 9/2 Botanical, 16/1 Al Mubhir, 7/4 Eternal Force, 6/1 Theoryofeverything, 16/1 Two B Tanned, 7/2 Altareq

Verdict

York third ALTAREQ is an intriguing contender on his second start for Jim Goldie and this very lightly raced 4yo earns the vote ahead of Eternal Force, who looked one to follow at the end of last season and could improve for his comeback run in the Lincoln. Things didn’t work out for Lincoln fourth Botanical at Newmarket subsequently and he is next on the list.[Ben Hutton]
