1

Stowell

Talented and was third in a G2 at Royal Ascot in 2021. Training issues have limited his career so far. He stays this trip and further.

2

Raymond Tusk

Occasional poor efforts including at this trip here last year, and on his latest start. Well handicapped if back near his best, such as his second in a 2021 Royal Ascot handicap.

3

Moktasaab

Plenty of admirable efforts last season, along with one or two disappointments. Yet to win at this trip but he most certainly stays it. Good or fast ground ideal.

4

Teumessias Fox

Yet to win on a turf surface but one or two decent runs on good or quick ground. A very impressive Kempton winner in March, his first start since being gelded. Raised 10lb for that.

5

Prydwen

Like others here he’s been competing on all-weather tracks recently but he did accelerate impressively to win at Haydock last September though 9lb higher in the handicap now.

6

Capital Theory

Without a turf win so far but has developed into a very consistent handicapper on all surfaces. Races prominently as he did when second at Ripon last month.

7

Crystal Delight

Some training issues have limited his career so far, but promise in both all-weather starts this year, and looks to have no stamina issues for this trip.

8

Star Caliber

Led but faded right out on his seasonal reappearance and first start for this stable. He’s better than that but will need to be if he’s to have a chance here.

9

Ace Rothstein

Yet to win for his current stable, though only just beaten in a minor hurdle race in March. Others look preferred.

10

Vaynor

With stamina his strongpoint he will want a fast gallop. His handicap mark is rising but no surprise in that after an excellent 2022 including four wins.

11

Obsidian Knight

Boasts three all-weather wins but made no impact on his only two turf starts. No trip worries.
