1400m – Turf
| 1 | Make Me King | Needs to build on respectable first run in England after showing fair form in France, Qatar and Dubai. |
| 2 | Northern Express | Third in this race last year. Just beaten in good Handicap at York last month. Likely to go well. |
| 3 | Awaal | Third in last year’s Royal Hunt Cup over 1600m but not won since 2022 or run since October. |
| 4 | Mostabshir | Faced some tough tasks. Midfield finish in similar race over this course and distance last month. Needs more. |
| 5 | Carrytheone | Slowly away when well beaten over this course and distance last month before won similar race at Newmarket. In the mix. |
| 6 | Baradar | Well beaten in this race last two years but has won over course and distance. Out of form this year. |
| 7 | Rhoscolyn | An Ascot regular. Third in this race 2022 but well beaten last year and in most of other eight runs here. |
| 8 | Ropey Guest | 21 of 43 races at Ascot where gone close but never won. Good run over course and distance last month. Candidate for a place. |
| 9 | Percy’s Lad | Respectable seventh in this race last year. In good form. Suited by fast ground. A live contender. |
| 10 | Tacarib Bay | Well beaten all runs this year. Unlikely winner. |
| 11 | English Oak | Easily won decent Handicap over 1434m on soft ground in May. Good chance if as good on faster surface. |
| 12 | Mr Professor | Best form over 1600m on soft ground. Only run once over 1400m. Conditions against him. |
| 13 | Finn’s Charm | Returned to form when winning lesser Handicap over 1400m at Goodwood on 9 June. In the mix. |
| 14 | Alzahir | Encouraging return from break when fourth over 1515m last month. Needs further progress. |
| 15 | Bopedro | 8-y-o. Sixth in this race last year. In fair form but needs handicap mark to fall further. |
| 16 | Dark Thirty | In the mix on some form but well beaten at Epsom last month. |
| 17 | Gorak | Has struggled with raised handicap mark in past year but good second in similar race last month offers hope. |
| 18 | Divine Libra | In fine form over 1400m, winning at Chester then just beaten in good Handicap at Newmarket. A live contender. |
| 19 | Koy Koy | Unplaced but ran well in two decent Handicap races last month. Needs to improve but not ruled out. |
| 20 | The X O | Two respectable runs last month from a falling handicap mark but needs more. |
| 21 | Billyjoh | Sprint bred. Unraced beyond 1215m but may stay this distance. In good form. |
| 22 | Summerghand | 10-y-o. Most runs and all 17 wins over 1200m. Not as good nowadays. An unlikely winner. |
| 23 | Fresh | Regular at Ascot and twice won big field handicaps over 1400m there. Likely to perform creditably. |
| 24 | Maywake | Well beaten this month on return from long break. Unlikely winner. |
| 25 | Sous La Neige | Decent, consistent record in France. Difficult to assess. |
| 26 | Kings Time | Returned from break with improved run to win decent Handicap at Cork. A good chance. |
| 27 | Greatgadian | All wins and most runs at further but good placed form over 1400m. In the mix. |
| 28 | Sterling Knight | Returned to form when winning lesser Handicap over 1400m a week ago. This tougher. |
