Shin Emperor

9st 9lb

J: Ryusei Sakai

T: Yoshito Yahagi

Fine third to Economics here a year ago, unlucky not to finish closer; narrowly beaten (dead-heated with Durezza for second place) in steadily run Japan Cup; won the Neom Cup in Saudi Arabia in February before too keen in the Dubai Sheema Classic in April; with another year under his belt and better fortune, he could improve on last year's outcome.

Beat just one rival in three maiden starts; may do better in handicaps in first-time blinkers.

9st 8lb

J: Ryusei Sakai

T: Daniel James Murphy

Promising debut at the Curragh over 6f but not as good at 7f twice since; cheekpieces now tried and has a wide draw to overcome.

Two Tempting

9st 13lb

J: Ryusei Sakai

T: Jonathan Portman

Won over the straight 1m here in May 2024 and has added four more wins, most recently at Chester (extended 7f, good; off 2lb lower) in May; however, he's not been in enough form since to think this will be his race.
