8st 10lb

J: William Buick

T: Ian Williams

Showed career-best form in this race in 2024 (won by 2l) and 2025 (beaten only a nose), both off higher marks; posted a resurgent effort, behind Dark Tornado, returned to this C&D latest start; respected.

J: Ryan Moore

T: Ian Williams

Infrequent winner but he is well handicapped, has strong C&D form and his latest York run is easy to strike a line through; Ryan Moore retains the ride; dangerous if getting the breaks.

9st 8lb

J: Ryan Moore

T: Ian Williams

His peak RPRs have come in the last two runnings of the Bunbury Cup at Newmarket in July (win/close second); however, he was an encouraging ninth of 28 on reappearance in the Victoria Cup at Ascot (7f, good) and positives today are his reduced mark and the booking of Ryan Moore.

J: Nicola Currie

T: Ian Williams

Good 7f handicapper but has achieved his peak RPRs in the last two runnings of the Bunbury Cup, winning in 2024 and going very close in 2025; may be more interesting when going for a third attempt at Newmarket in July; his Ascot record isn't convincing.

9st 11lb

J: Colin Keane

T: Ian Williams

Won 2024 Bunbury Cup at Newmarket (7f) and better than ever when narrowly denied a second win in that race by the very smart More Thunder in July; hasn't matched that in four outings since but a slow start didn't help at Kempton 24 days ago on first AW run since 2023; very well treated if able to recapture the Newmarket form.
