(1)

	Notable Speech	138
	W Buick/ C Appleby
(30)	Form: 211-41 Age: 5 Weight: 9-2

13/8 7/4

15/8

Spotlight : High-class miler domestically and internationally, predominantly on good and quicker ground in accordance with his bright turn of foot; readily justified strong market support in the Lockinge at Newbury most recently, registering a fifth success at the top level and looking better than ever; bit to prove at Royal Ascot, having flopped badly in the 2024 St James's Palace Stakes and finished only fourth in this race last year; otherwise a leading player on the figures.

(7)

	Opera Ballo	138
	Billy Loughnane/ C Appleby
(52)	Form: 121-11 Age: 4 Weight: 9-2

7/2 10/3

7/2

Spotlight : Unraced on ground slower than yielding; made all for 3l success in a particularly good edition of the bet365 Mile (Group 2) at Sandown most recently, defying a 5lb penalty for his Group 1 win at Meydan and taking record to 7-9, as well as reversing Newmarket autumn placings with Zeus Olympios; doesn't necessarily need to dominate; new rating puts him on a par with stablemate Notable Speech and even bigger figures may be on the way; respected.

(9)

	More Thunder	134
	Tom Marquand/ W J Haggas
(30)	Form: 2114-2 Age: 5 Weight: 9-2

4/1 9/2

4/1

Spotlight : Usually held up in rear; did very well over 6f/7f last term, including summer wins in a major handicap and Group 2, as well as nearly landing the Wokingham at this meeting; made a cracking first attempt at 1m when only 2l behind Notable Speech (who got first run) in the Lockinge at Newbury on reappearance, taking form figures for current yard to 1121142 and suggesting he's set for another productive campaign; plausibly still improving and promises to be suited by this return to a stiffer course; major contender.

(4)

	Docklands	132
	Mark Zahra/ Harry Eustace
(50)	Form: 494-13 Age: 6 Weight: 9-2

6/1 13/2

6/1

Spotlight : Acts on any ground; admirable campaigner whose Listed success at Doncaster in March is flanked by respectable efforts in Group 1 events at Sha Tin; his excellent record over this C&D reads 11322214 and features two wins at Royal Ascot, including narrowly in this contest last term despite rider dropping whip over 1f out (played second fiddle to Charyn, the year's champion miler, in the 2024 edition); solid claims returned to this scenario.

(5)

	Zeus Olympios	133
	C Lee/ K R Burke
(30)	Form: 111-33 Age: 4 Weight: 9-2

8/1 17/2

9/1

Spotlight : Yet to encounter ground softer than good; 4-4 in his first season last year, culminating in Group 2 win at Newmarket where he won going away from Opera Ballo; unable to confirm placings with that opponent at Sandown on reappearance but wasn't disgraced and he subsequently ran better, behind Notable Speech and More Thunder, in the Lockinge at Newbury; may yet tap back into his tremendous earlier progress and prove that he can still become a top miler; remains of major interest.

(3)

	Damysus	134
	James Doyle/ J & T Gosden
(30)	Form: 011-16 Age: 4 Weight: 9-2

14/1 12/1

14/1

Spotlight : Record is 4-8, the most recent success gained comfortably in Newmarket Group 3 on seasonal debut when completing a 1m2f/1m1f hat-trick; disappointing in the Lockinge (1m) since, not looking entirely beaten by the drop back in trip, but he's difficult to write off having been broadly progressive otherwise; rebound is possible.

(6)

	Cicero's Gift	133
	Jason Watson/ C Hills
(30)	Form: 211-47 Age: 6 Weight: 9-2

40/1 50/1

40/1

Spotlight : Returns to the scene of his biggest performance but that 100-1 success in last year's Queen Elizabeth II Stakes over C&D (good) still seems something of a fluke, having been seemingly helped by the draw; has failed to back up the form in races won by Opera Ballo and Notable Speech this season, beaten about 7l both times; dubious claims.

(2)

	First Conquest	126
	R L Moore/ C Appleby
(178)	Form: 33433- Age: 5 Weight: 9-2

50/1 66/1

50/1

Spotlight : Ended his 2025 campaign by finishing third in 1m1f contests won by Damysus and stablemate Opera Ballo; consistent but appears very unlikely to reverse placings with those rivals and is the only runner who lacks recent match practice, being the sole seasonal debutant in the field; drops back to 1m for first time since winning a good handicap in July 2024; one of three runners for his yard and possibly in here as a pacemaker.

(8)

	Ten Bob Tony	127
	K Shoemark/ E Walker
(9)	Form: 30-481 Age: 5 Weight: 9-2

50/1

66/1

Spotlight : Acts particularly well on ground softer than good; very useful 7f performer who prevailed narrowly at Epsom ten days ago for a second success in the Group 3 that was formerly the John of Gaunt Stakes and run at Haydock; ran creditably over 1m in 2024 German 2,000 Guineas but this is a stiffer test at the trip and a stiffer assignment to boot.

(20)

	Confucius	109
	R L Moore/ A P O'Brien
(37)	Form: 21 Age: 2 Weight: 9-3

13/8 7/4

13/8

Spotlight : Superbly bred colt (by No Nay Never out of the Cheveley Park winner Millisle) who cost 1,700,000gns as a yearling; went down narrowly on debut before readily landing the odds in maiden at Naas (6f, good) in a fast time; he's the choice of Ryan Moore and Aidan O'Brien has won this race in two of the last three years; big chance.

(3)

	Great Barrier Reef	112
	Wayne Lordan/ A P O'Brien
(22)	Form: 11 Age: 2 Weight: 9-3

5/1 11/2

6/1

Spotlight : Hammered six rivals at the Curragh on debut (6f, soft) and overcame residual greenness to follow up in Group 3 over the same C&D (good) three weeks ago, leading inside final 1f; Ryan Moore jumps ship to ride Confucius, but this one tops the pile on ratings and merits serious consideration.

(10)

	Royal Heritage	96
	James Doyle/ H Al Jehani
(5)	Form: 1 Age: 2 Weight: 9-3

17/2 8/1

15/2

Spotlight : Changed hands for 800,000euros at the breeze-ups and was strong in the market when making a winning start at Hamilton (6f, good to soft; 30-100) last Wednesday, readily pulling clear of four opponents; that form is untested and he's in much deeper here, but it's interesting that James Doyle prefers him to Ruler's Pride.

(19)

	Cut A Dash	103
	S M Levey/ R Hannon
(33)	Form: 1 Age: 2 Weight: 9-3

9/1 17/2

8/1

Spotlight : Created favourable impression when beating five opponents in convincing style at York's Dante meeting (5f, good; 11-4), readily asserting from over 1f out; bred to be at least as effective over this longer trip; the pick of the British-trained runners on form, open to progress and should go well.

(21)

	Night In Vegas	102
	Charles Bishop/ Eve Johnson Houghton
(24)	Form: 11 Age: 2 Weight: 9-3

15/2 8/1

17/2

Spotlight : Has made the perfect start to his career, winning readily last month over C&D (good) and at Goodwood (good to soft); those performances put him near the top of the pecking order on ratings and his stable landed 2yo events at Royal Ascot in 2021 and 2025; commands major respect.

(17)

	Ruler's Pride	100
	James Mcdonald/ K R Burke
(26)	Form: 1 Age: 2 Weight: 9-3

8/1 17/2

9/1

Spotlight : 550,000gns breeze-up buy; had only two opponents when scooting up at Ayr (5f, good to firm; 30-100) four weeks ago, but could hardly have been more impressive and the runner-up won the Hilary Needler at Beverley next time; speedily bred but ought to be just as effective over this extra furlong; comes from a yard with deep pool of 2yo talent, and he could be anything.

(14)

	Mrair	96
	Oisin Murphy/ George Scott
(14)	Form: 21 Age: 2 Weight: 9-3

20/1 18/1

14/1

Spotlight : �880,000 breeze-up purchase; turned over at short odds on debut but made amends at Lingfield (6f, good) two weeks ago with plenty in hand from Final Objective despite racing freely; hard to pin down and not to be passed over lightly, with Oisin Murphy (3-8 for the stable this year) a good booking.

(6)

	Siouxperb	88
	H Crouch/ A Watson
(55)	Form: 1 Age: 2 Weight: 9-3

14/1 10/1

14/1

Spotlight : Bred to be useful and made an impressive winning start at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm; 4-6) in April, soon in front and surging clear from over 1f out; the runner-up is 2-2 since, giving the form a solid look; stable won this race with the top-class Bradsell in 2022; has to be respected.

(8)

	God Given Talent	100
	W Buick/ J Ferguson
(31)	Form: 1 Age: 2 Weight: 9-3

25/1 28/1

25/1

Spotlight : 28-1 for debut at Newbury (6f, good) but made a successful start, never far away and leading inside the final 1f; that race has yet to throw up any other winners but he's clearly a promising sort and he could make his presence felt.

(15)

	Adaay Of Scarlett	96
	Billy Loughnane/ H Palmer
(18)	Form: 112 Age: 2 Weight: 9-3

28/1 33/1

40/1

Spotlight : Lost unbeaten record in Listed race at Sandown three weeks ago but only after a good tussle; previous 5f wins included one here, and he shapes as if he'll stay this extra furlong, but he needs to improve for it.

(11)

	The Harv	89
	Colin Keane/ M O'Callaghan
(8)	Form: 1 Age: 2 Weight: 9-3

33/1

40/1

Spotlight : �260,000 breeze-up buy; overcame adversity (ducked right start, hit on nose by rival jockey's whip inside final 1f) to make winning debut at Goodwood (6f, soft; 5-6) nine days ago; this is a quick turnaround but he clearly has potential.

(9)

	Cilician	93
	Joe Leavy/ B J Meehan
(12)	Form: 2 Age: 2 Weight: 9-3

40/1

50/1

Spotlight : Chased home The Ginger Kid on debut at Nottingham (6f, good; 25-1) two weeks ago, finishing strongly; has plenty to find on the figures, but so did Rashabar who struck at 80-1 in this race in 2024 for the same connections.

(13)

	High King	99
	Gavin Ryan/ Donnacha O'Brien
(18)	Form: 01 Age: 2 Weight: 9-3

50/1 40/1

50/1

Spotlight : Green on debut but clearly derived plenty of benefit from the experience and won in clearcut fashion at Fairyhouse (6f, good) later in May; he'll need more progress to make an impact in this higher grade but it's possible.

(5)

	The Ginger Kid	94
	K Shoemark/ E Walker
(12)	Form: 01 Age: 2 Weight: 9-3

33/1 40/1

50/1

Spotlight : 110,000euros purchase as a yearling; could not justify strong support on debut but much more clued up at Nottingham (6f, good) next time, quickening nicely to beat Cilician; further improvement possible but necessary.

(16)

	The Scallionator	99
	Wesley Joyce/ M Mulvany
(15)	Form: 421 Age: 2 Weight: 9-3

33/1 40/1

50/1

Spotlight : Progressing fast and won going away at Listowel (about 6f, good) at the end of May; much more is needed in this higher grade but further improvement seems likely and Wesley Joyce has chosen him ahead of Arizona Raider.

(4)

	Bull Shark	93
	D Egan/ Robson Aguiar
(12)	Form: 3332 Age: 2 Weight: 9-3

66/1 80/1

66/1

Spotlight : Well up to winning a race of some sort but he was put firmly in his place by both Great Barrier Reef (at the Curragh) and Confucius (at Naas) in the spring; again likely to come up short.

(18)

	Final Objective	83
	Faleh Bugheniam/ H Al Jehani
(14)	Form: 2 Age: 2 Weight: 9-3

50/1

66/1

Spotlight : Raced freely on debut at Lingfield (6f, good; 11-1) despite being hooded, but nonetheless rallied to finish second; should improve but it's hard to see him turning the tables with Mrair, the clearcut winner that day.

(7)

	Easy Answer	86
	C Demuro/ M L W Bell
(26)	Form: 3 Age: 2 Weight: 9-3

50/1 66/1

80/1

Spotlight : Some promise when third of eight at Yarmouth (6f, good; 11-1) but that form looks nothing special; would need significant improvement to play a part.

(1)

	Treasurer	79
	Rowan Scott/ C Fellowes
(15)	Form: 4 Age: 2 Weight: 9-3

80/1 100/1

80/1

Spotlight : Shaped better than the bare result suggests when fourth of 11 at Nottingham (6f, good; 11-1; kept on well after meeting trouble) 16 days ago, and that race is already working out well; however, this is much tougher and he's the Amo Racing second string on jockey bookings.

(2)

	Arizona Raider	91
	Billy Lee/ M Mulvany
(28)	Form: 531 Age: 2 Weight: 9-3

66/1 80/1

100/1

Spotlight : Has improved with each of his three outings and showed grit to come out on top at Roscommon (7.4f, good to yielding) four weeks ago; however, he's in much deeper here and the drop back in distance is not sure to suit.

(22)

	Jaan Ki Tukri	99
	Rossa Ryan/ C G Cox
(24)	Form: 322 Age: 2 Weight: 9-3

66/1 80/1

100/1

Spotlight : Beaten all three times, including when 4-7 at Bath (5f, good to firm) last month; yard landed the Coventry in 2020 with 150-1 shot Nando Parrado, another son of Kodiac; a win for this colt would be similarly surprising.

(12)

	Kamaal	85
	Cieren Fallon/ Jack Jones
(31)	Form: 5 Age: 2 Weight: 9-3

100/1 80/1

100/1

Spotlight : Raced freely and faded when fifth to God Given Talent at Newbury (6f, good; 10-1) last month; bred to be useful and could improve markedly, but he's undoubtedly one of the outsiders.

	Overpass	128
	Joshua Parr/ Bjorn Baker
(72)	Form: 9423-4 Age: 7 Weight: 9-7

7/4 9/4

5/2

Spotlight : The latest in a long line of terrific Australian sprinters to grace this meeting; winless since impressing from the widest draw in a Group 1 at his native Ascot in late 2024 but he's run many fine races since, including in the Group 1 Everest (6f, good) last October when having second place taken from him only near the line; that would have been strong form even without the winner Ka Ying Rising, the world's top sprinter, and he should have the speed to hold his usual prominent position back over 5f; solid chance.

(15)

	Rayevka	128
	M Barzalona/ F Graffard
(36)	Form: 26-561 Age: 4 Weight: 9-4

5/1 9/2

5/1

Spotlight : Ran a scorcher when coming from well back to finish third of 21 to Time For Sandals in the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup here (6f, good to firm) last June; two defeats at Meydan this spring but she was impressive back over 5f in a Group 3 at Longchamp (soft) in May and this up-and-comer is expected by connections to improve for the return to quick ground; much respected.

(6)

	Night Raider	125
	James Doyle/ K R Burke
(23)	Form: 450-11 Age: 5 Weight: 9-7

6/1 11/2

6/1

Spotlight : Turned his back on a brilliant AW career and, after some fruitless efforts on turf in 2025, as when fading into mid-division in this race, the switch has paid off handsomely since he was gelded, the usual front-running tactics working well at Newmarket (good to firm) before he showed he doesn't have to lead when arriving late for a cosy Group 2 win at Haydock (also 5f, good to soft) in May; this stiff 5f asks a question but he could achieve yet more.

(18)

	American Affair	126
	P Mulrennan/ J S Goldie
(23)	Form: 151-02 Age: 6 Weight: 9-7

11/2 7/1

15/2

Spotlight : A massive improver in 2025 as he was still cleaning up in handicaps in the spring before nipping home to win this race (good to firm) from Frost At Dawn; down the field on first run since, at York in May, but he came on a ton to chase home Night Raider at Haydock (5f, good to soft) latest; likely to pull out the stops for another excellent effort.

(26)

	Asfoora	128
	Oisin Murphy/ Henry Dwyer
(23)	Form: 171-00 Age: 7 Weight: 9-4

8/1 9/1

10/1

Spotlight : Superb Australian mare who was produced to perfection to win this in 2024 (good to firm); her preparation didn't go well last year when only fifth but she later added two more Group 1 wins in the Nunthorpe at York and the Abbaye at Longchamp; well below best in two runs this year (without regular blinkers which now return with tongue-tie added) but the wet winter in Britain would have been a shock to her system and she's not at all ruled out.

(24)

	Mission Central	119
	R L Moore/ A P O'Brien
(29)	Form: 610-11 Age: 3 Weight: 9-1

17/2 8/1

10/1

Spotlight : Best 2yo form over 6f, including when winning a valuable conditions race on this track; vulnerable over 5f then but speed tests at this trip have proved his forte in 2026, disposing of his rivals in two Listed races at Naas (good) quite impressively; intriguing contender back up in class.

(17)

	Big Mojo	128
	Tom Marquand/ M Appleby
(33)	Form: 2510-7 Age: 4 Weight: 9-7

10/1 11/1

12/1

Spotlight : 6f winner here last April; best form at that trip in Group 1s since, going down narrowly in the July Cup at Newmarket (good to firm) and later winning the Sprint Cup at Haydock (good) last September; beaten favourite at Goodwood (good to soft) in between when having a rare 5f run but this stiffer test at the trip and quicker ground will suit; needs extra all the same.

(4)

	Rumstar	123
	Rob Hornby/ J G Portman
(44)	Form: 5560-2 Age: 6 Weight: 9-7

20/1 18/1

14/1

Spotlight : Acts well on good or quicker; Listed winner over C&D; has had excuses for two Group 1 defeats at 5f in Britain, not ideally drawn in this race last June and checked in his run in the Nunthorpe at York in August, albeit still doing well in the latter in fifth of 17 to Asfoora; useful comeback at Newmarket in April when a close second to Night Raider; can be thereabouts.

(9)

	Time For Sandals	127
	R Kingscote/ Harry Eustace
(33)	Form: 137-58 Age: 4 Weight: 9-4

16/1 20/1

18/1

Spotlight : Her win in the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup (good to firm) at the Royal meeting last year was a big advance on previous form and, although she ran perfectly well back over 5f next time, when a close third to Jm Jungle in a Group 2 at Goodwood (good to soft), her overall form suggests she'll be found wanting on her first 5f run since.

(11)

	Rosy Affair	118
	Billy Loughnane/ G Boughey
(24)	Form: 411-21 Age: 5 Weight: 9-4

16/1

20/1

Spotlight : Successful over 5f in the very early days but three wins in her last four starts have all been over 6f, in Listed races at home and a Group 3 at Deauville; returns to this trip for the first time since beaten in a Listed event last July and others have much stronger claims.

(21)

	Cover Up	117
	James Mcdonald/ S & E Crisford
(79)	Form: 41-138 Age: 6 Weight: 9-7

66/1 50/1

28/1

Spotlight : One of his best domestic efforts when winning a C&D handicap last July; seemingly improved when successful in 5f Listed and Group 2 events at Meydan (yielding and good) in midwinter but has much more to do in this company.

(23)

	Jakajaro	116
	J P Spencer/ R M H Cowell
(23)	Form: 57-114 Age: 5 Weight: 9-7

33/1 40/1

33/1

Spotlight : 3-30 turf strike-rate doesn't do justice to his ability and he confirmed his recent improvement when a highly creditable fourth, again from the front, in a Group 2 at Haydock (good to soft; acts well on good) in May; this stiffer track and tougher opposition are likely to count against him.

(13)

	Monteille	126
	C Demuro/ M Baratti
(79)	Form: 816-75 Age: 5 Weight: 9-4

66/1 50/1

33/1

Spotlight : Admirable close eighth of 20 in this last June (good to firm) considering she's well suited by good to soft or slower ground; showed her best colours when beating Rayevka to win Group 3 at Longchamp (5f, very soft) last September but will do well to improve on last year's run under these conditions.

(8)

	Behike	104
	D Egan/ George Scott
(28)	Form: 3-11 Age: 3 Weight: 9-1

33/1 28/1

33/1

Spotlight : Wide-margin winner of both 6f starts, on Lingfield AW and in a turf novice on that course; has potential but also a mighty task trying to cross the chasm into a Group 1 against the pros on first 5f run.

(5)

	Starlust	120
	Rossa Ryan/ R M Beckett
(16)	Form: 0/74-6 Age: 5 Weight: 9-7

33/1

40/1

Spotlight : Smart 5f form as 3yo included close third in the Group 1 Nunthorpe at York and a win in the Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint (firm); just four runs since, best of those when fourth of 20 in this race last year when ending up away from the main action; went to stud after (that career is on hold for now) and needs his recent Carlisle reappearance to have brought him on plenty.

(3)

	Frost At Dawn	125
	W Buick/ W J Knight
(23)	Form: 430-08 Age: 5 Weight: 9-4

40/1 50/1

40/1

Spotlight : Has only ever won three races but there's no doubting how smart she is when getting good to firm ground, as when beaten by only American Affair in the 2025 running and a later third to Asfoora in the Group 1 Nunthorpe at York; it's easy to excuse two defeats in 2026 and look forward to another solid show.

(14)

	Jm Jungle	124
	Jason Hart/ J & S Quinn
(23)	Form: 160-49 Age: 6 Weight: 9-7

33/1 40/1

50/1

Spotlight : Best form on sharp tracks; never better than for a Group 2 win at Goodwood (5f, good to soft) last August but well held in the Nunthorpe at York next time on his sole attempt at a Group 1 in Britain; has work to do.

(10)

	Shagraan	121
	H Crouch/ C G Cox
(23)	Form: 121-30 Age: 5 Weight: 9-7

40/1

50/1

Spotlight : Ended 2025 with 5f Listed wins at Beverley (good to firm) and over C&D (soft) either side of a Group 2 second to First Instinct at Newbury; has a lot to find on those efforts and also on this year's runs for a new yard.

(2)

	Mgheera	115
	K Shoemark/ E Walker
(23)	Form: 865-65 Age: 6 Weight: 9-4

40/1

50/1

Spotlight : Had a brainstorm before this race last year when refusing to go in the stalls but she'd impressed the time before when winning a Group 2 at Haydock (5f, good); some respectable efforts in Group races over the last 12 months haven't suggested she'll be a serious threat this time.

(16)

	Miss Attitude	121
	Ronan Whelan/ J Channon
(44)	Form: 10-745 Age: 6 Weight: 9-4

50/1 66/1

50/1

Spotlight : Useful in 5f Listed races last year, finishing second at York (good to firm) in July and winning at Deauville (good) the following month, but hard to fancy on her Group-race form or 2026 efforts.

Spotlight : Unraced as 2yo; made good progress in 2025, ending with a Listed third of ten over C&D (soft) but, after a satisfactory return in a similar race at Naas (good) in April, he was never involved in the Group 2 at Haydock won by Night Raider; aiming high today.

66/1

Spotlight : Useful 5f form as a 3yo, inching forward again when gaining a narrow win over Shagraan in a Group 3 at Newbury (5f, good to soft; acts on good) last September; she was entitled to need the run behind Night Raider at Newmarket in April but a big advance on her form is needed.

80/1

Spotlight : Won the Listed Windsor Castle at this meeting as a 2yo; some ups and downs since, with his second to Asfoora in the Group 1 Nunthorpe at York (good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) last August showing what can be done on a good day; however, he needs to rise far above two heavy defeats this year.

	S De Sousa/ James Owen
(32)	Form: 133-73 Age: 3 Weight: 9-1

80/1 100/1

80/1

Spotlight : Best 2yo form when dropped to 5f on final two starts, signing off with a close third of 12 in the Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint (firm); he needed to progress as 3yo to have a chance today but that hasn't happened, so the first-time visor has a big job to do.

4/5 8/11

4/5

Spotlight : Hugely progressive and unbeaten in his four races, all over 1m on good/firmer; impressively bagged Classic honours at Newmarket in sole start this term, earning an RPR that makes him the joint-best 2,000 Guineas winner since Frankel; the next two home - Gstaad and Distant Storm - franked the form by filling the first two places in the Irish version; sets a tall standard, accordingly, and his trajectory brings the tantalising prospect of even bigger figures; massively exciting colt.

(23)	Form: 221-21 Age: 3 Weight: 9-2

11/4 3/1

11/4

Spotlight : Unraced on ground slower than yielding; very solid performer who continues to improve steadily and has never finished out of the first two; readily landed the Coventry at this meeting 12 months ago and has performed well at Group/Grade 1 level since, most recently registering a 3l success in the Irish 2,000 Guineas at the Curragh, taking record over 1m to 2-3; clear best of the remainder behind Bow Echo at Newmarket earlier in May and should give the rematch his best shot.

4/1 9/2

5/1

Spotlight : Very promising colt who has a record of 3-4 overall and 2-2 since wearing a hood; above-average winner of the Heron Stakes at Sandown (1m, good; Listed) most recently, coming off strong pace set by a stablemate and storming clear to beat his closest pursuer by just over 5l; looks a Group 1 performer in the making, the way he's going, and it should be remembered that he was second-favourite in ante-post betting for the 2,000 Guineas prior to a change of plan; adds great interest.

(36)	Form: 4111-4 Age: 3 Weight: 9-2

11/1 10/1

11/1

Spotlight : Stablemate of Gstaad; appears versatile as regards ground; tough colt who proved a useful maiden prior to ending last season with a hat-trick when upped to 7f/1m in major 2yo races, including two French Group 1s; creditable fourth when favourite for the Poulains at Longchamp on reappearance; has significant form, may rate higher still over this distance and looks set to have his own way up front (gained his wins making all); one of the main players.

	D Egan/ Robson Aguiar
(23)	Form: 31-274 Age: 3 Weight: 9-2

100/1

Spotlight : Gained his 2yo Group 1 success over 6f then ran respectably over 7f on reappearance; midfield in the 2,000 Guineas and fourth in the Irish equivalent since upped to 1m, both times finishing behind some of today's rivals and leaving the impression he ideally needs a return to shorter; likely to be outstayed and outclassed.

Spotlight : Quite a progressive sort on AW and has gained both wins over 7f at Kempton, including in Class 4 handicap latest start; soundly beaten in both turf attempts, always behind in the 2,000 Guineas on second occasion; plenty to find and plenty to prove back in this sphere.

9/4 2/1

9/4

Spotlight : Dam is Ascot Gold Cup winner Estimate; inconsistent for Sir Michael Stoute in 2024; beaten on the nod at Leopardstown (1m4f) last May on debut for new yard, after which he was all the rage for this race but it was a nightmare for favourite backers, as he was shuffled back (from stall 1) and towards the rear entering straight before running on nicely until denied any room again in the last half furlong; absent since but same mark today and he is surely capable of significantly better; granted better luck, he should have a big shout.

13/2

Spotlight : Won 4yo handicap hurdle at 2025 Cheltenham Festival and took a huge prize for Irish Cesarewitch on Flat at the Curragh (2m1f, yielding) last September, in the latter bursting clear 1f out and scoring with considerably more authority than the margin suggests; underwhelming over hurdles before last month's Chester Cup, in which he also had the widest draw, but he started favourite nevertheless and made some headway from the back to finish seventh of 15; he didn't have the rub of the green that day and is shortlisted even though connections also now resort to headgear.

	Seamie Heffernan/ A J Martin
(22)	Form: 00-071 Age: 6 Weight: 9-4

12/1 14/1

10/1

Spotlight : Officially unraced on firmer than good; ex-Polish and German, placed in 1m2f Group races in 2024 before a 260,000euros sale; failed to fire last year (including one 2m1f race) but shaped nicely on second start this term and landed a gamble in clearcut fashion in 24-runner handicap at the Curragh (1m6f, good) on latest, challenging 2f out; he was ridden that day as if stamina is a strength and, despite his revised mark, is one to note.

	Billy Loughnane/ Ian Williams
(10)	Form: 322360 Age: 6 Weight: 9-12

12/1 11/1

12/1

Spotlight : Won the Cesarewitch at Newmarket (2m2f, good to firm; 9lb higher today) last October and had some very solid AW form over 1m2f-2m this year; not nearly so good in his two races back on turf but his recent run at Epsom (1m2f) should have teed him up nicely for this; current mark and tactical issues coming from the rear are the chief worries.

	Harry Vigors/ W P Mullins
(47)	Form: 3/453- Age: 6 Weight: 9-11

12/1 11/1

12/1

Spotlight : Poor strike-rate (two maiden wins) in Flat and hurdling spheres and he went the wrong way in his latest hurdles campaign; however, he ran well in two major Flat handicaps last season, including when third to Beylerbeyi in the Cesarewitch at Newmarket (2m2f, good to firm); 3lb higher today but 7lb claimer Harry Vigors is booked; like so many, he has each-way hopes.

	Declan Mcdonogh/ J P O'Brien
(35)	Form: 31011- Age: 4 Weight: 9-4

16/1 14/1

12/1

Spotlight : A heavy defeat over hurdles five weeks ago was his only race since October; however, he won three of his four starts once equipped with this headgear on Flat last July-October; the furthest of those wins was 1m5f and he was well beaten trying 1m6f, but it may be rash to dismiss him as a stayer, given he's brother to Magellan Strait who won the 2023 Irish Cesarewitch (2m1f) and half-brother to Lagostovegas who won this race in 2018.

	J M Sheridan/ J P O'Brien
(34)	Form: 321-01 Age: 4 Weight: 9-3

16/1 14/1

12/1

Spotlight : French 1m6f winner who tried hurdling for new yard last winter; tailed off in the heavy-ground handicap won by Mordor on return to Flat but dictated the pace and kept his challengers at bay in a six-runner conditions event at Killarney (1m6f, good; Tim Toe third and Defiantly fourth) five weeks ago; improvement is needed but he's still something of an unknown quantity.

(38)	Form: 000-24 Age: 5 Weight: 9-6

14/1 16/1

14/1

Spotlight : Unraced on firmer than good; second at Navan (1m6f, heavy) in March on Flat handicap debut; backed that up with her excellent, close fourth of 15 when third favourite for the Chester Cup (2m2f, good; 1lb higher today) in May, coming from towards rear after a slow start; has to be considered but such a wide draw may mean she again has to come from well back.

(17)

	Small Fry	105
	Oisin Murphy/ J P O'Brien
(16)	Form: 31199- Age: 5 Weight: 9-4

14/1 16/1

14/1

Spotlight : 1m4f festival wins off much lower marks at Chester and Epsom preceded his 100,000gns purchase last July; two Flat runs (including 2m Irish Cesarewitch) last autumn didn't work out but there was encouragement to be drawn from his two hurdle races last month (second on latest) and he scored over an extended 1m6f in 2024; not entirely dismissed, from stable which runs seven.

(12)

	Mordor	103
	J P Spencer/ G Elliott
(31)	Form: 1020-1 Age: 6 Weight: 9-6

22/1 20/1

18/1

Spotlight : Brought from Ireland last year for Glorious Goodwood (2m4f, soft; second off 6lb lower than today) and the Cesarewitch (2m2f, good to firm; 14th); reappeared this spring with a career best on Flat to win at Navan (1m6f, heavy) and a creditable third in 3m hurdle race, but another career high is needed.

(19)

	Tim Toe	104
	Ronan Whelan/ H De Bromhead
(15)	Form: 131 Age: 5 Weight: 9-3

18/1 20/1

18/1

Spotlight : Last year he was a bumper winner (sole attempt) and ran twice over hurdles; now he's a useful prospect, at the least, under Flat rules having won a maiden at Bellewstown (11.4f, soft) and conditions event at Listowel (1m, good) and he kept on well behind Kizlyar over 1m6f in between, all from off the pace; this race is radically different but he is promising and seriously unexposed.

	Tom Marquand/ J P O'Brien
(43)	Form: 003-0P Age: 7 Weight: 9-6

22/1 25/1

22/1

Spotlight : Always behind in his two races this spring (1m2f/1m4f; ended pulled up last time) and last season was a mixed bag; however, his strong-finishing thirds last year in this race (off 1lb lower than today) and another big-field contest at Naas (2m) show that he needs a close look, particularly as some headgear (absent this season) is reinstated.

(7)

	James Doyle/ J P O'Brien
(34)	Form: 147-04 Age: 4 Weight: 9-5

22/1 25/1

22/1

Spotlight : Unraced on firmer than good and his form claims are pretty flimsy; however, he's one of the dark horses of the race after just six starts and he's shaped at 1m6f as if he may well be an out-and-out stayer; has tried cheekpieces and a visor once each, and now blinkers are given a go; close relation Middle Earth was third over 2m in last year's Melbourne Cup.

	R Havlin/ S Woods
(24)	Form: 11-651 Age: 4 Weight: 9-5

18/1 20/1

22/1

Spotlight : Progressive on AW last autumn and another improved effort when he went on over 3f out to win a five-runner race at Goodwood (upped to 2m, good) on latest outing; up 4lb but could have more to give as a stayer.

(4)

	Ismahane	108
	Billy Lee/ P Twomey
(20)	Form: 42322- Age: 4 Weight: 9-4

20/1 25/1

22/1

Spotlight : Officially unraced on firmer than good; trained last year in Germany, including when runner-up in Group 3 Italian St Leger (1m7f, heavy) before changing hands for 72,000euros; well held when taking minor honours over hurdles (January and May) in her two runs for new yard, but cheekpieces (tried once last year) return and getting back to the Flat may suit.

	All In You
	Edward Greatrex/ W Greatrex
(58)	Form: 1/17/ Age: 6 Weight: 9-3

33/1 28/1

25/1

Spotlight : Ran three times on the Flat in France, winning over 1m7f on testing ground on first two occasions; that was back in 2023 and spring 2024, but he was a progressive and fairly useful hurdler in the hood for this yard last season (last seen in April) and is unexposed for this Flat handicap debut.

	Rossa Ryan/ A King
(247)	Form: 44460- Age: 5 Weight: 9-8

40/1 25/1

28/1

Spotlight : Markedly progressive overall when trained by Natalia Lupini in Northern Ireland, rounding it off with an always-prominent fourth of 16 at Royal Ascot 2025 (1m6f, good to firm; 2lb lower today); respectable show at Goodwood last summer, ten weeks before running poorly in the Cesarewitch when going beyond 1m6f for first time was not to blame; bit to prove on first run since.

	Cieren Fallon/ James Owen
(59)	Form: 003-86 Age: 5 Weight: 9-6

66/1 50/1

40/1

Spotlight : 1m4f winner from the front off this mark at Newmarket last May who also scored with a prominent ride over hurdles at Cheltenham (2m5f) in November; has a bit to prove over 2m on Flat, including having been always behind on both starts this year; now tries a visor (often wears cheekpieces) and maybe there will be a change of tactics.

(18)

	Jason Watson/ D & C Kubler
(37)	Form: 1637-5 Age: 6 Weight: 9-6

100/1 50/1

40/1

Spotlight : Wore cheekpieces last six starts, winning in late summer last year on first two occasions; a late effort took him from last to fifth of 14 when he made a good reappearance here (1m4f, good to firm) last month but venturing beyond an extended 1m4f for first time provides a huge question mark.

(15)

	P C Boudot/ M Seror
(53)	Form: 0-1370 Age: 5 Weight: 9-3

50/1 40/1

50/1

Spotlight : 4-22 in France, including two 2m wins and latest came with a very late bid in January (AW); peak efforts (not his last two) give him a form chance on this first start since changing hands and leaving Andre Fabre.

Spotlight : Landed a second win at this meeting when seeing off Galen, King's Gambit and Enfjaar in this race on good to firm 12 months ago; below-par seventh on 1m2f Goodwood reappearance 25 days ago but this has presumably been the target again; the mount of James Doyle from the three Wathnan runners.

Spotlight : Unraced at two; rapidly developed into a smart performer last year, making it 3-3 when just coming out on top in the Listed Glasgow at Hamilton (1m3f) in July; lost unbeaten when third in 1m2f Longchamp Group 3 in the autumn but the two ahead of him were Croix Du Nord and Daryz and it was another slight step forward in terms of RPRs; raced only on good/very soft on turf; a surprise if there isn't more to come from him in 2026.

Spotlight : Consistent performer who chased home Haatem in this on good to firm last year; ended 2025 with solid efforts in Bahrain and Hong Kong and it's probably worth forgiving him a rare off-day in Saudi Arabia in February; capable of making a bold bid in this again assuming stall 15 isn't too troublesome.

Spotlight : Admirably consistent in defeat in Group races last year before winning the Grade 3 Nashville Derby at Kentucky (10.5f, firm) in August; well beaten in the Breeders' Cup Turf on final 2025 start but offered enough to think he retains all his ability when fifth of six to Ombudsman in Brigadier Gerard at Sandown (1m2f, good) on reappearance 19 days ago; considered.

Spotlight : No wins since landing two of his first four starts but has a largely consistent record in Listed/Group company since, including third to Haatem and Galen in this race on good to firm 12 months ago; again ran well when chasing home Damysus in Group 3 at Newmarket (1m1f, good) on reappearance in April; a subsequent Chester run was disappointing but his record suggests he's unlikely to stay down for long.

Spotlight : Ex-French mare who has several pieces of Group 1 form over middle distances, including in Saudi Arabia for this yard in February; however, she's been well below par in her two outings back in Britain this spring, albeit with 1m on AW too sharp for her on the first occasion.

Spotlight : Group 2 winner and Group 1 placed over 1m2f at Longchamp last year (also fourth in Prince Of Wales's over C&D) but he ended 2025 on a low note and has been below par in two outings over 1m4f at Longchamp this spring, markedly so last time; big shout if back to his best in first-time cheekpieces but James Doyle sticks with Haatem.

Spotlight : Did well initially in his career, including when beating his three rivals in the 2024 Brigadier Gerard at Sandown (1m2f, soft); 0-9 since, albeit twice placed at the highest level; pulled too hard when beaten about 6l into sixth of 12 on return in a Group 3 at the Curragh (1m2f, soft) in April; never featured at Chester in a Group 2 on good since; good to firm ground is a worry.

Spotlight : Had a very productive spell at Meydan earlier in the year, winning two handicaps before progressing again when second to Quddwah in Group 2 Singspiel and fifth to Ombudsman in Group 1 Dubai Turf (both 1m1f, good); those efforts suggest he can make his presence felt in Listed races back in Britain but this is a particularly strong one.

Spotlight : Versatile as regards ground; smart on his day and enhanced his good Epsom record when only narrowly denied a second successive win the Group 3 Diomed (8.5f, good to soft) 11 days ago; Listed winner over this trip on good to firm in 2024; good chance on the Epsom form but stall 16 isn't ideal.

Spotlight : Second in the Irish Derby and Grand Prix de Paris for Aidan O'Brien in 2023; failed to match that level in Australia until finishing a nose second in 1m2f Group 3 at Randwick last September; down the field in the Caulfield Cup on his final start there but resumed his European career with a pleasing staying-on third to Minnie Hauk in 1m2f Curragh Group 2 (good) six weeks ago; raced largely on good or softer on turf (below form in 2023 Derby on good to firm); his yard has had three placed in this since 2021.

	James Doyle/ W J Haggas
(29)	Form: 1321-1 Age: 4 Weight: 9-11

15/8 2/1

9/4

Spotlight : Made his debut only just over a year ago; firmly on the upgrade when signing off last season with a handicap win at Haydock (1m6f, good; first-time cheekpieces) and following up on his reappearance at Hamilton (1m5f, good; no headgear) where the narrow margin of victory masked his superiority (he overcame trouble); he's up a further 8lb but the improvement could keep coming; James Doyle prefers him over Wathnan's other pair; big player.

11/2

13/2

Spotlight : After just the solitary run at two he made steady progress last season and delivered a clear personal best when reeling in the front-running Gamrai in a 1m4f Newmarket handicap at the Guineas meeting (good to firm; first run since gelded) on reappearance; up just 4lb and this return to a longer trip won't bother him; hard to knock.

6/1 7/1

13/2

Spotlight : Late developer who ran once as a 2yo; the waves made last season have gathered scale in handicaps this year, as he backed up his comfortable AW win (1m3f) with a length defeat by Daiquiri Bay at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm; led for the most part); he clearly needs to find more again (off 2lb higher) to gain his revenge on the winner but these Gosden runners have a tendency to get better and better; the stable has won this twice since 2021.

Spotlight : Record of 3-9 overall and going the right way in handicaps, finishing a clear second (from the front) over 1m4f at York (good) last time behind a sharp Haggas improver whom he'd beaten over 1m6f on final run last season (good to soft; first run after gelding operation); this return to 1m6f has to be a good thing; respected.

	John Velazquez/ J P O'Brien

9/1 10/1

11/1

Spotlight : Still looked a bit wet behind the ears when beaten under 4l into fifth in this 12 months ago (7-1) and has raised his game subsequently, notably when only just missing out in a 1m6f handicap at Glorious Goodwood and posting another placed effort at Meydan during the winter (1m4f, good); absent since below par in a Group 3 there in February; should have freshened up since with this presumably the plan; interesting.

	Billy Loughnane/ H Al Jehani
(19)	Form: 400-41 Age: 4 Weight: 9-8

10/1

11/1

Spotlight : His form eventually ran cold for the Gosdens last season but he's back on the up for his new yard, following his pleasing comeback at Newmarket with a decisive win at Kempton where he swept by late on (1m4f, AW); has low enough mileage to believe he'll cope fine with a 7lb rise and, despite not being Wathnan's first string on jockey arrangements, he's one to consider.

	Billy Lee/ H De Bromhead

12/1

Spotlight : Won the Cork Derby over 1m4f before following up in the 2m4f handicap on this card 12 months ago (good to firm) and that golden spell continued when second in the Ebor at York (1m6f); only 2lb higher than at York so he's not handicapped out of this, and last month's run in a Group 3 after 215 days away should have brought him on fitness-wise; respected.

	Duraji	108

(38)	Form: 940-63 Age: 5 Weight: 9-10

16/1

18/1

Spotlight : Only 1-10 for Dermot Weld but was highly tried on occasions; made his debut for Richard Hughes in the Chester Cup (2m2f, good) and, having broke well from his wide draw, he put up a bold show from the front only to be reeled in late in the day; a 2lb nudge is easy to stomach and dropping back to 1m6f could work given the cruising speed he showed at Chester.

	Reserve 1/ G & J Moore
(9)	Form: 8-0451 Age: 4 Weight: 9-6

25/1 22/1

20/1

Spotlight : First reserve; has never won away from Epsom, where he excelled on a mud-splattered Derby day ten days ago (1m4f, soft; first-time cheekpieces); it's unwise to take that form at face value and a 6lb rise can find him out, especially on this forecast faster surface.

	D Tudhope/ D O'Meara
(33)	Form: 355-27 Age: 6 Weight: 9-12

28/1 25/1

22/1

Spotlight : Not a prolific winner, with his waiting tactics, and never involved when 7-1 for last year's 1m4f Duke of Edinburgh at this meeting; however, it would be unwise not to recall his fourth in the Ebor at York last August (1m6f, good to firm) off a 1lb higher mark and he was unsuited by the steady pace last time out (1m4f); could get competitive should this pan out favourably; stable won this in 2022.

	K Shoemark/ Mrs A J Perrett
(45)	Form: 429-23 Age: 5 Weight: 9-6

28/1 25/1

22/1

Spotlight : It wasn't a strong Listed race in which she finished third at Goodwood (1m4f, good) and the steady pace casts further doubts about that form; the handicapper saw fit to raise her 5lb and that spells danger in this competitive race back up in trip.

	A Mullen/ I Jardine
(33)	Form: 2115-6 Age: 6 Weight: 9-12

25/1 28/1

25/1

Spotlight : Had a ball last year after being gelded, winning three of his six starts and as good as ever when a close fifth stepped up to 1m6f at Haydock in September; however, he is a 6yo and perhaps high in the weights now, a suspicion seemingly confirmed by his York run a month ago; there's no obvious significance in the return of cheekpieces.

	M Barzalona/ Ian Williams
(16)	Form: -64077 Age: 7 Weight: 9-12

25/1 28/1

25/1

Spotlight : Close up in a Saudi Arabian 1m7f handicap in February (last run in a tongue-tie that now returns) but that form is none too persuasive in a race of this nature and he's hardly hit the ground running back in Britain; only eighth in this last year off 2lb higher; one for the optimists.

	Green Cape	104
	S De Sousa/ S & E Crisford
(128)	Form: 514-94 Age: 4 Weight: 9-11

50/1 40/1

33/1

Spotlight : Only 1-10 for Andre Fabre, the win gained over 1m3f on good to soft last summer; has had only the two races for current stable and ran fairly well in the face of a stiff task in an Abu Dhabi Listed assignment in February latest (1m4f, good; wore tongue-tie; admittedly perhaps flattered from the front); it wouldn't be a bolt from the blue should he feature in the finish.

	Reserve 2/ G Boughey
(53)	Form: 39513- Age: 5 Weight: 9-5

33/1 40/1

33/1

Spotlight : Second reserve; after a stint over hurdles (1-5) he's back with his former trainer for whom he finished fourth in the 1m4f 3yo handicap here two years ago (off 3lb lower); seems to retain all his ability and would have each-way prospects if getting a run; well beaten on the Flat in sole attempt in cheekpieces.

	Dancing In Paris	109
	Reserve 3/ Ian Williams
(9)	Form: 8240-9 Age: 6 Weight: 9-4

40/1

33/1

Spotlight : Third reserve; soft ground wouldn't have helped when well behind Too Soon at Epsom ten days ago on seasonal debut; had some solid form in strong 1m6f/2m handicaps last season but current mark is a tough one.

	Hallelujah U	109
	L Morris/ James Owen
(212)	Form: 41637- Age: 4 Weight: 9-12

33/1

40/1

Spotlight : Ran surprisingly well to finish so close in last year's Queen's Vase over C&D but perhaps flattered by that given subsequent defeats (Group 3 and strong handicap); gelded prior to tailing off on his hurdling debut at Cheltenham in November and absent since; the return of cheekpieces is no bad thing.

	Enemy	105
	Cieren Fallon/ Ian Williams
(16)	Form: -13109 Age: 9 Weight: 9-11

50/1 66/1

50/1

Spotlight : Won 1m4f/2m handicaps on the AW (3-36 on turf) earlier this year but this is a different ball game altogether and his run at Carlisle 17 days ago was no more than average; plenty of others appeal more.

	Yashin	104
	Tom Marquand/ M L W Bell
(43)	Form: 7606-0 Age: 7 Weight: 9-12

50/1

66/1

Spotlight : Ex-Irish 7yo; won a slowly run, four-runner Group 3 over 2m here in April 2025 on his stable debut but failed to kick on and he needed to run a lot better than he did at Newmarket in early May (1m6f) to be seriously considered here; the hood and blinkers are new additions.
