Danzeno
|
Has an enviable win and place record and has run plenty of good races here including once when 3rd in a G1. First run for a while but he goes well fresh.
|
|

|
Tinto
|
Modest efforts earlier this year but then landed a shock win at Newmarket, leading at half-way and not coming back to his challengers.

Angel Alexander
|
His trip to Meydan earlier this year didn’t pay off. But last September he had beaten a huge field in a prestigious Ayr handicap. Slow ground ideal.

Mr Lupton
|
A G2 winner at The Curragh on his first 2019 start, quickening from the back. Went off the boil later but looked in good shape on his recent return.
|
|
5
|
Mubakker
|
Has won three of his five starts and warmed up for this with a fluent victory at Newcastle this month. Likely to come late and best chance on good or quick ground.
|
|

|
Gulliver
|
Versatile groundwise he would have hopes here if showing the same flair that saw him snatch victory in a 22-runner York handicap last October.
|
|

|
Dazzling Dan
|
Didn’t show much zip on his 2020 return. His three career wins have come over this trip, whilst slow ground may help his cause.
|
|

|
Summerghand
|
Busy since a solid 5th in this last year. No luck at Meydan this year but bounced back with a close 2nd at Newmarket.
|
|

|
Bielsa
|
This gelding soared up the ratings last season when showing some blinding speed to win three of his four starts. Could still be ahead of the handicapper.
|
|

|
Soldier’s Minute
|
A winner at Kempton in last October and not beaten far on any of his all-weather starts since. Had sprung a shock when winning on good to firm turf in May 2019.
|
|
11
|
Recon Mission
|
Difficult to place having proven not good enough for Group races, but also suffering from a high handicap rating.
|
|
12
|
Bella Fever
|
Won a string of sprint races when trained in Uruguay, and also came with a strong surge to win at Meydan in February. Now trained in the UK.
|
|
13
|
Arecibo
|
Encouraging that he has run really well on both visits here, though over 1000m. Didn’t seem to handle the undulations of Newmarket last time.
|
|
14
|
Air Raid
|
Not seen since well beaten last October but has won after a break before. His record firmly suggests that he’s best on a slow surface.
|
|
15
|
Hey Jonesy
|
Disappointing in all recent starts and only beat one rival home at Royal Ascot on Tuesday. Being tried in blinkers here.
|
|
16
|
Silent Echo
|
Ran a really good 5th in this in 2018, finishing well. He races off a 2lb easier handicap mark this time, and won at Newmarket this month.
|
|
17
|
Spanish City
|
Without winning he has not been beaten far on any of his previous Ascot visits. Closed down 2019 with another good show – at Newmarket.
|
|
18
|
No Nonsense
|
His career best performance came when a running-on 2nd in a G3 over this course and distance last year. Didn’t show much in two later starts.
|
|
19
|
Lethal Lunch
|
A past course and distance winner, and twice a winner last season though facing a career high handicap mark for this 2020 return. Has a tongue strap fitted.
|
|
20
|
Highland Dress
|
Has won three of his six starts and though his handicap mark is rising fast, he still seems to be improving – winning easily at Newmarket this month.
|
|
21
|
Stone Of Destiny
|
His last win came over 1000m at this track last August and, though his record over this trip is less good, he made an encouraging 2020 return.
|
|
22
|
Konchek
|
A very smart two-year-old but a very disappointing three-year-old. Has been gelded since his last start and his trainer has also changed his training regime.
|
|
23
|
Jack’s Point
|
From a low profile stable, having a terrific Royal Ascot. And this guy has chances if he can repeat his 2nd – at huge odds – in a 1400m handicap on Tuesday.
|
|
24
|
Teruntum Star
|
An eight-time winner but sometimes runs some poor races for no apparent reason. In his best mood, he won a heavy ground Newbury handicap last October.
