King's Charter

Jockey: W Buick Trainer: Charlie Appleby Age/Wt: 3/9-9 F: 34-1 OR: 92

2 tips

Comment: 650,000euros yearling; clear promise with his two frame efforts last summer and he found improvement after a gelding operation when keeping on well to beat his 15 rivals at Doncaster (1m, good) last month; still has plenty of potential and he's an interesting contender upped in trip on handicap debut.

Palazzo Blu

Jockey: Marco Ghiani Trainer: Marco Botti Age/Wt: 3/9-9 F: 1-218 OR: 92

Comment: Made it 2-3 when staying on strongly to assert late on as 5-4 favourite in a novice at Southwell (1m4f, AW) in April; useful RPR with that convincing success but he was tailed off when switched to a Listed event at Goodwood (1m3f, good) in May; still unexposed but has a bit to prove after that heavy defeat and this is a highly competitive race for handicap debut.

2 tips

Comment: Had a blip at Musselburgh in April but has form figures of 21121 in his other runs and that latest win was at Redcar (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago; that was a good opportunity but this step back up in trip is no problem and a 5lb rise looks fair enough; respected for yard that has won this five times in the last ten years.

Comment: Made it third-time lucky when winning Chelmsford novice (1m2f, AW) in May and he followed up on handicap/turf debut at Haydock (1m4f, good) four weeks later; that latest form has taken some knocks but he scored in good style from off the steady pace and is open to more improvement; respected up 7lb.

War Hawk

Jockey: R L Moore Trainer: Simon & Ed Crisford Age/Wt: 3/9-6 F: 414211 OR: 89

3 tips

Comment: The most exposed runner in the line-up but he's been progressive in handicaps and completed a double with his strong finish at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft) last month; up another 5lb but he did well to overcome trouble last time and is now 2-3 on turf; Ryan Moore booked; major chance.

Regalian

1 tip

Comment: Won on debut at Newcastle (7f, AW) in February and he's gone close in two of his three runs since, including after a slow start on handicap debut at Musselburgh (1m1f, good; blinkers added) last month; up 3lb but that latest form has been boosted by the third since and he should have more to offer.

Comment: Stuck in the mud when favourite for an Italian Group 2 on his final 2yo start but firmly back on the up with his two runner-up efforts in handicaps this season; there wasn't much separating the first four at York (10.3f, good) last time but he's only 1lb higher here and should be in the thick of things again.

Cayman Dancer

Jockey: J Fanning Trainer: Charlie Johnston Age/Wt: 3/8-10 F: 31274 OR: 79

Comment: Won at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) last month on second start and first past the post at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) 12 days later, when demoted due to interference; looked promising at that point but he's been well held in two handicaps since and has something to prove with cheekpieces now added; yard also runs Marhaba Ghaiyyath.

1 tip

Comment: Scrambled home in a bunched finish for the Empress Stakes over C&D (good to firm; Listed) but took her record to 21211 and continues to be a solid performer; closely matched with Venetian Sun on Carlisle form, albeit with that rival bringing a higher rating after Royal Ascot success.

2 tips

Comment: Twice-raced filly; well on top at the finish, despite still seeming green, in C&D novice event (good to firm) last time; from a family that includes a few 2yo Group winners for her owner and brings major potential to this suitable next step; interesting contender.

Royal Fixation

Jockey: W Buick Trainer: Ed Walker Age/Wt: 2/9-2 F: 1

Comment: Palace Pier filly who cost 180,000gns as a yearling; had more in hand than the winning margin suggests at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) having travelled strongly then needed only hands and heels once hitting the front; goes into deeper waters but is open to progress.

Comment: £160,000 breeze-up purchase who belied her 100-1 odds with close sixth in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) last time, improving markedly on debut effort and shaping as if this extra furlong will suit; possibilities with another step forward plausible.

Comment: Won well at Newmarket (good to firm) on 1,000 Guineas day for a promising debut; only midfield (behind Shine On Me) in the Queen Mary kept to 5f but pedigree suggests she should still do better, being out of a Listed scorer for her stable; by no means written off.

Comment: Starman filly who cost 240,000gns as a yearling and is very highly regarded by her connections; two from two, having beaten the solid Argentine Tango at Carlisle (5f) and then enhanced her reputation in the Albany at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm); trainer's only other Albany winner followed up in this race; much respected.

6 tips

Comment: His brother Cross Counter won the 2m Melbourne Cup; never posed the slightest threat when upped to 1m6f at Royal Ascot (good to firm) last time but he was drawn wide and ran on late from the rear into seventh of 16, recording his best RPR; this race is a bit less competitive and his previous success has come when ridden much more prominently.

Roaring Legend

Jockey: C T Keane Trainer: Hugo Palmer Age/Wt: 5/9-12 F: 111669 OR: 103

Comment: Reverted to Flat for new yard early this year and won three AW handicaps (1m6f/2m); given a wind operation (his second) in May and Northumberland Plate performance at Newcastle (2m, AW) 13 days ago was an interesting one, as he made smooth headway to dispute lead over 2f out but weakened in the final 1f; needs to be at his peak and turf form is nowhere near that.

Real Dream

Jockey: Tom Marquand Trainer: Ian Williams Age/Wt: 6/9-9 F: 7-3483 OR: 100

1 tip

Comment: Second run this term was poor (he also produced some of those for his previous stable); there's been little to quibble with in his other three outings for new yard, close third in 2m Sandown Listed race on latest and due to go up 6lb after this, but he still does not look the percentage call.

Align The Stars

Jockey: J Fanning Trainer: Charlie Johnston Age/Wt: 4/9-8 F: 8-30747 OR: 99

Comment: Handicap hat-trick last summer (final leg at Glorious Goodwood) and he ran well in Listed event on return; not in the best of form since, but not disgraced (seventh of 20) with this headgear enlisted over 2m4f at Royal Ascot last time and it can be argued that returning to 1m6f will suit.

Champagne Prince

Jockey: James Doyle Trainer: Jane Chapple-Hyam Age/Wt: 4/9-6 F: 21-146 OR: 97

Comment: Best form has come on AW, on which he's 5-7 (including Listed win) as opposed to 0-6 on turf; easily best turf form when sixth of 16 at Royal Ascot (1m6f, good to firm) on latest start, every chance, but he needs to build on that off the same mark.

Insanity

Jockey: Rossa Ryan Trainer: Alan King Age/Wt: 5/9-5 F: 180-61 OR: 96

Comment: Two wins and a close second from his first three races last term, all at about 1m4f on good, and back to his best when winning from Oneforthegutter at Ayr (1m5f, good; unraced on firmer) three weeks ago; the latter was a steadily run race in which he looked on the edge settling-wise, but he might be open to further progress.

Liari

Jockey: K Shoemark Trainer: Michael Bell Age/Wt: 5/9-4 F: 215/10 OR: 95

Comment: Fairly useful hurdler; 1-3 on the Flat in France early in 2023 and returned to this sphere with a front-running win in six-runner handicap at the other Newmarket track (1m6f, good to firm) in May, going clear about 4f out and staying clear; front-running in the 2m4f Ascot Handicap (33-1) one month later did not work out but he might still have more to offer on the Flat.

Imperial Sovereign

Jockey: C Lee Trainer: Philip Kirby Age/Wt: 4/9-3 F: 945-80 OR: 94

Comment: Reliable at up to 1m6f in form terms for Karl Burke but he didn't look well handicapped; it was the same story on reappearance for new yard, before tailed off at 50-1 in the Northumberland Plate; dropped 2lb and cheekpieces go on but others are far more persuasive.

Jockey: Oisin Murphy Trainer: Andrew Balding Age/Wt: 5/8-13 F: 6-90342 OR: 90

Comment: Had a good summer over about 1m4f last term, including one race on good to firm; close fourth at Haydock on penultimate start was a reminder of that, before he was rather disappointing in a three-runner race at Pontefract; this third attempt beyond 1m4f could be worth a go.

Cinderella's Dream

Jockey: W Buick Trainer: Charlie Appleby Age/Wt: 4/9-9 F: 2-212 OR: 115

3 tips

Comment: Solid performer whose record of 11117112212 features wins in US Grade 1 contest last term and 1m1f Group 2 at Newmarket (good to firm; readily beat Elmalka) in May; ran creditably under a penalty behind Crimson Advocate at Royal Ascot (1m Group 2) most recently; strong contender.

Elmalka

Jockey: S De Sousa Trainer: Roger Varian Age/Wt: 4/9-9 F: 44-24 OR: 111

Comment: Successful in last year's 1,000 Guineas but the cards dropped perfectly (came off strong pace) and she is 0-5 since; no match for Cinderella's Dream on the other course here on penultimate start; chance of doubling her Group 1 tally largely depends on how the race pans out.

Comment: Ran creditably in first-time cheekpieces (retained today) when bidding for a second win in the Duke of Cambridge Stakes but finished behind two of today's rivals and there seems no obvious reason why she should reverse the placings; ran as if something was amiss in this contest last year.

Atsila

Comment: Unraced at two; came up short in the Irish 1,000 Guineas most recently, losing her unbeaten record (2-2 previously) and failing to confirm Group 3 placings with Cercene who has admittedly franked the form by landing the Coronation Stakes since; bottom on ratings in this field.

Jockey: Jim Crowley Trainer: Saeed bin Suroor Age/Wt: 3/9-0 F: 1-47 OR: 107

Comment: Successful in sole 2yo start; pitched into Classics this season, good fourth in the 1,000 Guineas (good to firm) then non-stayer in the Oaks; bred to do better yet, being by Dubawi out of a Group 1 scorer, and looks interesting dropped back to 1m with further progress still plausible.

Comment: Productive as a 2yo when trained in Poland and landed the German 1,000 Guineas (Group 2) on soft ground most recently; may have more to offer for current yard but certainly needs further improvement, with this being her stiffest assignment yet.

Aspect Island

Jockey: S D Bowen Trainer: James Owen Age/Wt: 2/9-2

Comment: February foal; Showcasing colt who cost 90,000gns as a yearling; 13th foal; brother to three winners including high-class 6f/7f performer Tasleet and Lady Light (Listed-placed 6f 2yo; 92); once-raced dam out of 5f winner; others appeal more.

Billecart

Jockey: C Lee Trainer: K. R. Burke Age/Wt: 2/9-2

Comment: May foal; 380,000gns yearling by Night Of Thunder; sixth foal; half-brother to winners River Alwen (1m-1m2f; RPR 104), The Ivy (7f; 77) and Esprit Rose (6f; 75); dam 6f and 7f (Listed) winner (107); market support would be significant when representing a yard so deep with 2yo talent.

Catullus

Jockey: C T Keane Trainer: Charlie Appleby Age/Wt: 2/9-2

Comment: January foal; second foal out of a French 6.5f AW winner (RPR 81) and sister to 1m Listed winner Discursus; probably significant that William Buick rides the yard's other runner.

Constitution River

Jockey: R L Moore Trainer: Aidan O'Brien Age/Wt: 2/9-2

Distant Storm

Jockey: W Buick Trainer: Charlie Appleby Age/Wt: 2/9-2

8 tips

Comment: February foal who cost 1,900,000euros at a May breeze-up sale; ninth foal; closely related to 7f/1m winner Classic (RPR 100) and half-brother to three winners including Beautiful Morning (7f-1m2f; Group 3; 106) and La Gloire (1m2f; 85); dam Listed-placed 7f 2yo winner (94); stable has won this three times since 2017 and this colt has a Group 1 National Stakes entry.

Hengroin

Jockey: Jim Crowley Trainer: Owen Burrows Age/Wt: 2/9-2 F: 42

Comment: Has run well over 5f and 6f, latterly at Windsor behind a good prospect who probably failed to do himself justice in the Coventry; this colt is useful, has experience and now goes in a tongue-tie; could have a role to play.

Lost Signal

Jockey: J Fanning Trainer: Richard Hannon Age/Wt: 2/9-2

Comment: January foal; 75,000euros breeze-up buy; second foal; dam unplaced 1m2f/1m4f (RPR 57), sister to winners Curly (1m4f Listed), Exuma (1m/1m3f) and Oh Happy Days (1m); has presumably shown plenty at home to be launched in a traditionally warm maiden but others have more pressing credentials.

Oceans Four

Jockey: Rossa Ryan Trainer: Brian Meehan Age/Wt: 2/9-2

Comment: January foal; £82,000 yearling; third foal; half-brother to Group-placed 6f-1m winner Blatant (RPR 85); dam unraced half-sister to French 1m2f winner Savannenstern; already gelded and stable's newcomers are usually best watched.

Oxagon

Jockey: Oisin Murphy Trainer: John & Thady Gosden Age/Wt: 2/9-2

Comment: April foal by Frankel; fourth foal; half-brother to 6f 2yo winner Appointed One (RPR 81); dam 6f AW 2yo winner (75), sister to useful 6f/7f winner Culturati, out of Italian 1m Group 3 winning half-sister to 7f Listed winner Whazzat (dam of Mill Reef winner James Garfield); stable has won two of the last three renewals, last year with their top miler Field Of Gold who did have the benefit of a race behind him.

Raging Raj

Jockey: Saffie Osborne Trainer: Jane Chapple-Hyam Age/Wt: 2/9-2 F: 49

Venetian Prince

Jockey: K Shoemark Trainer: Andrew Balding Age/Wt: 2/9-2

Comment: April foal; sixth foal; half-brother to five winners including the same connections' top-class 7f-1m2f performer See The Fire and last month's Northumberland Plate winner Spirit Mixer; dam won the Juddmonte International in the same colours; intriguing newcomer for yard that's won this twice in the last five years.

Master Of My Fate

Jockey: Oisin Murphy Trainer: John & Sean Quinn Age/Wt: 4/9-12 F: 66413 OR: 87

Comment: Progressed on AW over the winter and capitalised on good track position when winning at Lingfield last month (5f, good); ran to form when third at Ayr three weeks ago; should give his running but there could be a few better treated now.

Emperor Spirit

Jockey: Marco Ghiani Trainer: Michael Keady Age/Wt: 7/9-11 F: 42898- OR: 86

1 tip

Comment: Front-runner; on a good mark on last season's best efforts for Robert Cowell, notably second in a Class 2 at Ascot (5f, good to firm) last July off 2lb higher; absent for 314 days now but he ran well last summer after a longer absence; interesting contender on his first run for Michael Keady.

Almaty Star

Jockey: Tom Marquand Trainer: Robert Cowell Age/Wt: 5/9-10 F: 23843 OR: 85

Comment: Hasn't done a lot wrong in the last 12 months and he turned in another sound effort at Chelmsford ten days ago; had an excuse when down the field in this race last year; unlikely to be far away.

Jenever

Jockey: Darragh Keenan Trainer: Jessica Macey Age/Wt: 6/9-9 F: 2-5651 OR: 84

Comment: Back to winning ways with a comfortable come-from-behind success at Sandown four weeks ago (5f, good; won the corresponding race in 2024 too); a 5lb rise in a slightly higher grade could be enough to find him out.

Nogo's Dream

Jockey: R L Moore Trainer: Richard Hughes Age/Wt: 5/9-8 F: 131301 OR: 83

3 tips

Comment: The winner of three of his last six starts, asserting in the closing stages at Windsor 18 days ago (5f, good to firm; Grandlad second); up 4lb but he's still improving and should go well once again; stable won this 12 months ago.

Jockey: A J Farragher Trainer: James Horton Age/Wt: 4/9-8 F: 99-302 OR: 83

4 tips

Comment: Three 5f wins last year; ran his best race this time around when second of five behind Nogo's Dream at Windsor 18 days ago; 4lb better off with that rival today but it may not be enough to turn the tables.

Comment: Talented sprinter who won twice for this yard in 2024, including over C&D off a 2lb higher mark last July; has not found his very best this year but is on a good mark and may fare better today.

Jacquelina

Jockey: Grace McEntee Trainer: Phil McEntee Age/Wt: 6/9-0 F: 8-9530 OR: 75

Comment: Enjoyed a purple patch last summer, winning five times in 33 days; the latest success was off today's mark, albeit in a Class 6; retains ability but this won't be an easy race for her to dominate.

Catch Cunningham

Jockey: Connor Planas Trainer: Michael Herrington Age/Wt: 6/8-8 F: 862654 OR: 69

4 tips

Comment: C&D win last August and an AW success in September; yet to win this year but he retains all his ability and has had several troubled runs, including at Lingfield 13 days ago; style of racing leaves him a hostage to fortune but this is a wide-open space and there should be a good pace to aim at; big run likely.

Fletcher's Flight

Jockey: Saffie Osborne Trainer: Philip McBride Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 5-39907 OR: 69
