| 1 | Get Shirty | Won this race last year. Yet to hit form this season off higher handicap mark. Well beaten 10 days ago. Tough task. |
| 2 | Sam Cooke | 7-y-o. In best form of career. Returned from break to finish fine second in competitive handicap at York last month. Respected. |
| 3 | Cemhaan | Given a tough handicap mark after easy victory over 2399m on all-weather track last month. Difficult task. |
| 4 | Point King | Winner of three in a row including Listed race last year. Narrowly beaten in G3 over 2800m last month. Good chance. |
| 5 | Scriptwriter | Returns to Flat after period hurdling. A difficult task on balance of form. |
| 6 | Aaddeey | Won well for new stable in Class 2 event over 2400m in April. Best on soft ground and live chance if gets it. |
| 7 | Vauban | Top class hurdler. Unraced on Flat since 2021 but good chance if translates hurdling ability to Flat. |
| 8 | Absurde | Fair form in France at up to 2100m. Won minor hurdle race over 4000m last month for new stable. Interesting. |
| 9 | Alright Sunshine | Fourth in this race last year. Consistent performer but not run since November. Tough task. |
| 10 | Raymond Tusk | 8-y-o. Midfield in this race last year. Decent reappearance run last month but is not as good nowadays. Unlikely winner. |
| 11 | Gaassee | Rapid progression until finished lame when favourite for major handicap at York. Distant last on return last month. Hard to support. |
| 12 | Berkshire Rocco | Won 3 from 18. Well beaten recently, twice when favourite. Not as good as he was. |
| 13 | Postileo | First run since 2021 when winning Class 3 Handicap over 2615m last month. Stays well. A live contender. |
| 14 | Ruling Dynasty | 4-y-o. Only run three times. Looked useful and stayed on strongly when winning novice race over 2327m 11 days ago. A leading contender. |
| 15 | Chillingham | Improved form when winning Class 3 Handicap readily over 2407m in April. This much tougher but respected. |
| 16 | Charging Thunder | Steady improvement and solid form last year. Less successful during winter in Dubai and unraced since February. Tough task. |
| Reserves | ||
| 17 | Stay Well | Decent third over 2399m this month but struggles off current handicap mark and has poor record at Ascot. |
| 18 | Prydwen | Never raced beyond 2446m and regularly beaten off current handicap mark. An unlikely winner. |
| 19 | Tides Of War | Won twice in France in 2021. Well beaten for new stable during winter in Dubai. Some encouragement from run at Goodwood in May. Tough task. |
