Comment: Beaten only 3l behind the subsequent Chesham winner at Newbury (6f) and probably bumped into a smart newcomer at York (7f, good); he's a winner waiting to happen and brings strong form credentials.

Comment: Fared best of the newcomers when third at York (6f, good) and that's strong form with the first two home finishing sixth and second respectively in the Coventry at Royal Ascot; on breeding, this extra furlong is sure to suit; major player.

9/1

Comment: 75,000gns yearling; first foal out of a 5f/6f 2yo winner (Listed; RPR 97), herself a half-sister to winners Spiritual Star (useful 7f-8.6f), Spiritual Son (Italian Listed-placed 1m-1m2f) and Elusive Million (7.5f 2yo); interesting newcomer.

Titanck

Jockey: Finley Marsh Trainer: R Hughes Age/Wt: 2/9-5

12/1

Comment: 38,000gns yearling; second foal; dam unraced half-sister to winners Royal Bench (1m Group 2), Memphis Tennessee (13.4f Group 3) and Mayhem (1m2f Group 3); would need to be useful to take this first time out.

Laureate Crown

Jockey: J P Spencer Trainer: H Palmer Age/Wt: 2/9-7

Comment: 70,000gns yearling; fifth foal; half-brother to winners King Carney (1m Listed; RPR 103), Dusky Lord (5f/6f; 102) and Chateau (5f/6f; 98); dam placed 6f (71); worth checking in the betting.

Comment: Only sixth behind Haatem in last year's Jersey at Royal Ascot but looks closer to the finished article now (gelded in November) as it was a career best by some margin when an emphatic winner of a 7f handicap back at this year's Royal meeting; it could be onward and upwards and it's hard to believe that he won't stay a mile.

Comment: Quality 3yo who was placed in two Guineas before winning the Group 3 Jersey at Royal Ascot that ended up his last run of the season; below par in his first two runs of this campaign (behind Quddwah in France) but got himself back in the good books with a typically tenacious display in winning the 1m2f Listed Wolferton back here; dropping back to 1m is of no concern; strong claims.

Comment: Only his fourth run and maintaining an unbeaten record in this 12 months ago and followed that with a fine fourth in a French Group 1; looked as good as ever when making all (doesn't have to lead) in a Longchamp Listed race in May (soft) and it was his first run on fast ground when trailing home last in the Queen Anne; big shout if anywhere near his best but drying ground would not be welcomed.

Comment: Lightly raced and all good since joining Denis Quinn, following up his maiden win in a Class 3 handicap at Newmarket (7f, good to firm); stepping up to 1m isn't overly discouraging but this huge rise in class most definitely is; wears a tongue-strap for the first time.

Jockey: Non Runner Trainer: R Varian Age/Wt: 4/9-3 F: 21-111 OR: 104

Comment: Half-brother to top miler Palace Pier; slow burner who has won his last four and justified heaps of market confidence when showing a smart turn of foot up the stands' rail to see off his 29 rivals in the Royal Hunt Cup (1m, good to firm); smacked of a Group horse that day but these terms do demand a further spike in his form.

3/1

Comment: Has won two of her four races; it was never in much doubt at Newmarket where she travelled well before winning comfortably; that was her first handicap, first run at this trip and a first run on fast ground; therefore remains thoroughly unexposed and she's effectively just 1lb higher here with the talented Jack Callan taking away 7lb.

3/1

Comment: Likeable runs at two and again on her comeback at Newmarket (7f handicap, good) where she was quite an eyecatcher; failed favourite backers when upped to this far at Sandown but still hit the frame; no doubt has more in the locker.

Comment: Industriously made all in a small-field 1m maiden at Bath (firm) and her Sandown second on handicap debut was certainly no backward step; that suggests she might be handicapped about right, which probably isn't the case with some in here.

Comment: Unbeaten on turf and comfortably made all in a 1m novice at Goodwood (good to soft) a month ago; she was entitled to take that modest contest in such a manner but brings potential into handicaps; Yorkshire-based trainer does well here.

Comment: All three wins (from 12 starts) have been on the AW, on which she made a quiet reappearance back in late March; however, she was only pipped in this race 12 months ago (on good) and was again runner-up here after a break in September (soft); if rediscovering any of that form then she'd have a part to play.

Comment: Won her second race at two, on the AW over 1m; lots to like about her return under a penalty at Windsor (1m, good to firm) as, although beaten 4l by Blue Bolt, the winner was receiving 6lb and won a strong Listed race at Sandown last week; could be nicely in here for handicap debut.

Comment: Both turf wins were last year at Goodwood on good ground and she's not proven on good to firm after one attempt; resumed improvement with her AW win at Southwell (1m4f) in April, before last of seven in a 1m6f Group 3 at York which can probably be forgiven; chance on the Southwell form.

Comment: Progressive last year, with his three wins including two at Ascot (one over C&D); confirmed his affinity for the track with a good fourth in the Wokingham three weeks ago, a race where he was finishing fast up the stands' rail and comfortably beating the others to race on that part of the track; 1lb rise manageable but with the stalls on the stands' side there must be a query over the suitability of stall 1.

Comment: Much improved for the addition of a tongue-tie and switch to handicaps, winning a 6f nursery at Yarmouth last September and progressing again this year when third at Sandown before rewarding strong support at Chester (both 5f, good); another step forward when doing best of the low numbers in the Palace Of Holyroodhouse over C&D three weeks ago; 4lb higher but set to go well once more.

Comment: Wind surgery in February has had the desired effect and he has won four handicaps this year (two over 7f and two over 6f); 3lb rise for latest small-field success at Epsom demands further progress and although this is a stiff test at the trip, this is his first attempt at 5f; has the advantage of the rail draw though.

Comment: Strong traveller who has run well over C&D in the past; in good form this year, winning 5f Class 4 handicaps at Chepstow and Haydock either side of a Lingfield run where she wasn't well positioned; more needed up in class but could be well drawn and she's in the form of her life.

Comment: Won twice over 5f (good ground) this spring but he's come up short on his last three runs; would have finished much closer at Thirsk ten days ago had he seen any daylight at a crucial stage but he would still be a surprise winner at this level.

Comment: Hugely talented and he's been a model of consistency since December, most recently finishing third of 19 in the Dash on Derby day; conditions no problem and another promising 7lb claimer takes his chance in the saddle; more minor money on the cards.

Comment: Far too strong for his rivals in a Class 5 handicap at Kempton in May (7f); beaten at short odds in two turf runs since but he's continued his progression; up in grade today and needs another personal best.

Comment: 7f specialist; well handicapped on last season's best and he comes here on the back of some good runs at Doncaster, the latest on Thursday when finishing off well for second; placed in the 7f handicap at Royal Ascot in 2021 so the track is no issue; likely to be in the thick of it if turned out quickly.

Comment: Promising 2yo debut (6f, heavy); down the field in hot maiden on his reappearance at the Craven meeting before making no mistake when a warm favourite at Windsor in May (6f, good to firm), coming from off the pace to win a shade comfortably; 7f should suit and he's open to improvement now handicapping.
