J: William Buick

T: Simon & Ed Crisford

Runner-up in a weaker edition of this contest in 2023; benefited from good tactical ride when almost certainly flattered by his proximity to Calandagan in Meydan Group 1 in March and received 4lb when only a neck behind Kalpana at Newbury most recently; worse off with that mare and has never won above Group 3 level but is otherwise a consistent sort who should again give his running.

Can front-run; dual Group 3 winner (2022 and 2023) who missed 2024 and most of 2025; regular action since November, including a Listed win and matching career-best form when second to mighty Calandagan at Meydan (1m4f Group 1, good); not so hot on softer ground at Longchamp (evens) 13 days ago but will give them all plenty to think about if straight back to his best.

T: Simon & Ed Crisford

Smart in his younger days, winning twice in Group 3 company at Longchamp in 2023 and going down by a head in the Caulfield Cup later that year; 1-1 on the AW (Tapeta) but how much ability he retains after two years off remains to be seen; market crucial.
