J: Christophe Soumillon

T: Charlie Fellowes

Landed the Victoria Cup over C&D in 2022 and hasn't had the smoothest of passages in two attempts in this contest (finished 11th that year and tenth in 2023); losing run is mounting up, however, and he doesn't look particularly solid on his form for current stable.

J: Billy Loughnane

T: Charlie Fellowes

8yo who is without a win since December 2023 but he showed spark in Dubai this winter and ran big races on his two previous visits to York; returns to a handy on a fair mark and could have an each-way shout.

9st 12lb

J: Daniel Muscutt

T: Kevin Philippart De Foy

He's run just once this year but that was a fairly encouraging performance when fifth of nine at Chepstow (7f, good to soft) last month; he could build on that and he's on a competitive mark on last season's best efforts over 6f and 7f; effective in big-field handicaps and not ruled out.

9st 13lb

J: Daniel Muscutt

T: Kevin Philippart De Foy

The long-delayed return asks a pointed question but he has often won and gone well after shorter breaks than today and his 7f career includes wins in a top Ascot handicap and two Listed races (all on good); his claims can't be entirely waved away but he needs to be as good as ever to win.

J: Christophe Soumillon

T: Kevin Philippart De Foy

Won two 7f Listed races late last year; pretty much as good as ever this term, running respectably over this C&D in the Wokingham and finishing second in Group 2 City Of York; acts on soft ground but faces a stiff task in his first Group 1.
