1000m – Turf
| 1 | Korker | All speed as his career history illustrates though missing the break can make his life tricky. That happened again at Haydock last time, and his late flourish was too late. |
| 2 | Thunderbear | Gained his fourth career win on his latest start when swooping from the back to land a sprint at Navan this month. Competes off a 6lb higher mark now. |
| 3 | Twilight Jet | Has twice won sprints at a G3 level. Led until headed close home in a Listed dash at Naas last month, his best performance for some time. |
| 4 | Big Gossey | Only narrowly beaten in a thrilling finish to this sprint last year. Runs off a slightly easier handicap mark now but hard to win with these days. |
| 5 | So Majestic | At the top of his game at around this time last year when landing handicap sprints at Down Royal and Naas. And a solid Listed third at Ayr on 22 June. |
| 6 | Amazon Lady | A visor appeared to help her last time as she recorded a personal best when outspeeding 13 rivals from the front in a Navan handicap. |
| 7 | Arnhem | More often collecting place money than winning, and a good second – after leading – at Navan this month. Less good at Cork subsequently. |
| 8 | Little Queenie | The winner of a sprint here last August, and in at least as good shape in a stronger event here last month – only just caught. She is pure speed. |
| 9 | Jm Jungle | Has lots of gate speed which sometimes pays off as it did when he won at Goodwood last August. Not at his best on his latest start. |
| 10 | Sturlasson | Clear career highlights on his last two starts, leading throughout at Navan and then an excellent second of 19 at Epsom despite a tricky passage. Chance. |
| 11 | Harry’s Hill | His seven career wins – all at this pure speed trip – includes victory in this last year when finding a gap just in time. Seems at his best at this track. |
| 12 | Lethal Nymph | Without a win since September 2022 but his second to a well-handicapped rival at Thirsk on his latest start suggests that another success may be near. |
| 13 | Shandy | Won a maiden at Cork on 2024 return to action but probably below that in two starts in Listed company since. Handicap debut. |
| 14 | Kendall Roy | Proving to be a really progressive sprinter and won a strong handicap over this course and distance this month narrowly but with a bit to spare. |
| 15 | Greek Flower | Seemed to thrive on heavy ground when winning over 1200m here last October. A solid second when she didn’t have a clear run at Down Royal last time. |
| 16 | Bold Optimist | Gained his first win in handicap company – over 1000m at Cork this month – when proving brave at the finish. Less good off a stiffer mark since. |
| 17 | Reinforce | Having his 22nd start and still without a win. One or two fair efforts recently but facing some hot company here and a win looks very unlikely. |
