David Of Athens
Dead-heated for first in 1m Group 3 on dirt at Jebel Ali in February; never going well when well beaten in dirt Group 2 at Meydan in March and gelded since; market check advised back from a break but he needs to be at the very top of his game to defy a lofty mark on his first turf start.

Cerulean Bay
Two wins at Goodwood last autumn and admirably consistent in defeat this season, going close in a big field over C&D (good) then finishing fifth in the Royal Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm; second of 20 in group); there is every chance that he will be bang there.

Checkandchallenge
He's contested quality handicaps at Newbury and Ascot on his three starts this term, performing respectably and beaten around 4l each time; this 7yo probably needs something extra to snap a long losing run but he's edging down the weights and has run some big races here; worth a second look.

Cosi Bello
Not seen to best effect when mid-division in the Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm) last time out but prior to that he kept on well to make a winning reappearance at Haydock (7f, good to firm) and this very lightly raced 4yo retains potential, especially back up to 1m.

Apiarist
Inconsistent sort who made it 1-20 on turf (that grass win came here in 2yo campaign) when well beaten at Royal Ascot last month; however, two starts ago he was a close sixth in the Thirsk Hunt Cup (1m, good to firm) when he was denied a clear run, and he's not ruled out.

Tuscan Hills
Respectable seventh in the Dante here in May 2025 and he's one to watch in the betting back down in trip starting out for another new yard (remains in same ownership); however, he's very much struggled since the Dante and arrives with plenty to prove.

The Lost King
Well beaten at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm) last month but he was in good heart previously, finishing fourth at Newmarket (1m1f, good to firm) two starts ago where the trip appeared to stretch him; possible player.

Khafiz
Following an encouraging reappearance fifth at Haydock in April he was beaten a long way on his final two starts for Ed Bethell; however, he's well treated on last season's form and perhaps he'll have been revived by a change of scenery; market check advised on stable debut.

First Principle
Best form has come on AW and he hung left when 3l last of six at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) in May last time; however, the trip appeared to stretch him and he's off the same mark as for his win at Wolverhampton (8.4f, AW) in March; not written off back at 1m in first-time cheekpieces.

Won three times last year (including on good to firm ground) and he returned to form with 2l fourth of 11 at Newcastle (1m, AW) recently; could build on that latest performance and he might not be far away.

Bragbor
Went close on stable debut at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) last November and he's 3lb lower here; however, his form has gone the wrong way since, particularly of late on his first two turf starts.

Won four times in 2024; lightly raced last year and reappeared with close third off 4lb higher at Redcar (1m, good to firm) this April; however, three lesser runs have followed and he needs to turn things around.

Gentle George
3yo who has been soundly beaten in handicaps this year on his first two runs for his new yard (7.5f then 5f; Royal Ascot latest); however, he was 2-4 in his 2yo campaign and a couple of rallying performances over 6f hinted that he may be suited by this sort of trip; may not be a forlorn hope.
