1

Tempus

Both runs over the straight 1600m here have been very strong, winning first time and then third of 29 at Royal Ascot last month.

2

Dubai Mirage

Has run modestly on two previous starts at Ascot. More positively he showed a good attitude to win a 1600m Salisbury handicap last time under top weight.

3

Bopedro

Has been trained in France, Ireland, the UAE and now England. Has some good winning handicap form over this trip in Ireland, seeming best when challenging from off the pace in big fields.

4

Tacarib Bay

Connections will be hoping for slowing ground, conditions that applied when he bounced back to winning form to land a narrow victory at Haydock this month. He raced prominently that day.

5

Saga

Only win so far in a maiden here. But this colt could be open to plenty of improvement judging by his strong finishing and probably unlucky second in a tough Royal Ascot handicap over this straight mile.

6

Power Of Darkness

Only previous Ascot run was a win. Finished purposefully from off the speed when third on his seasonal return at Newmarket this month making him look interesting here provided he gets fast ground.

7

Random Harvest

Likes this track and the uphill finish, with two excellent runs here on her last two starts, just beaten at Royal Ascot and then winning a handicap this month.

8

Repertoire

Despite racing more keenly than ideal he had plenty left in the tank to gain a 6L winning verdict over this course and distance in April. Mostly running well since. Likes quick ground.

9

Coase

Finished last on his only previous run at Ascot, back in 2019. However he is effective over a straight 1600m as he demonstrated when winning at Newmarket in April.

10

Atrium

Has won two of his four starts at Ascot, including when accelerating from the back to beat 12 rivals in a handicap over this straight 1600m. Another good effort when third here last time.
