1

Aramram

Remains on a career high handicap mark, earned from a 1200m handicap victory at Newbury in May. Reliable.

2

Tropical Storm

Improved significantly from his 2025 return when outspeeding his rivals in a Listed York sprint. Never figured in a Royal Ascot G1.

3

Cover Up

Yet to win this year despite one or two good efforts. Had quickened impressively to win a Meydan Listed sprint last December. A fast pace suits.

4

Roman Dragon

Yet to thrive at Ascot and well beaten here on his last two starts. But he did win two sprint handicaps earlier this year.

5

Vintage Clarets

Decent efforts on all Ascot starts. Also, in good heart in recent efforts and only beaten a nose at Newcastle in June.

6

Azure Angel

First career start at Ascot but in good shape currently and very fast when won by excellent winning time at Redcar in June.

7

Toca Madera

It is not very encouraging that he has not shown much in all four sprint starts at Ascot, including this month.

8

Emperor Spirit

Came back from an absence to win a Newmarket handicap sprint this month, a first start for this stable. Also seems to favour this track. Chance.

9

Woolhampton

A return to form is required if he is to score here. But it is not impossible, and he did win a soft-ground sprint here last September.

10

Glamorous Breeze

Has won sprints on two of her four 2025 starts, and now on the same handicap mark as when a close fifth here this month.

11

Mesaafi

Both runs at this track very positive including when only beaten 0.5L in third of 17 here this month. Looks to prefer good or faster ground.

12

King Of Stars

Led most of the way when second in this in 2022. Has had some lengthy absences since. Decently handicapped if he can bounce back.

13

Michaela’s Boy

Only one win from 21 starts on a turf surface. But he did show a good attitude when only narrowly beaten at Chepstow this month.

14

Rhythm N Hooves

Started eleven times this year, including two all-weather wins. Not beaten far on his last two starts and handicap mark easing.
