9/2

Comment: Developing into a useful 7f colt; justified favouritism at Ascot (good to firm) most recently, taking his record when making the running to 3-3; went very close over C&D the time before; not sure to get his own way in this big field but otherwise an improving sort who warrants respect.

6/1

Comment: Campaigned only on good/firmer; gelded since last run (creditable Listed effort); record of 2-6 in 2024 featured a 7f success, despite traffic issues, at Glorious Goodwood in sole handicap attempt; interesting back here, despite being 8lb higher.

Comment: Maiden last term and was gelded after final run; two from two this season, the latest win at York (7f, good to firm) where he had a better trip than several of his rivals and collared Best Rate on the line; may need similar luck in this big field but otherwise a contender in great form.

Comment: By Frankel out of dual 1m2f Group 1 winner Izzi Top; made a promising debut at Nottingham (1m, soft) in October and built on that substantially when always close up but delivered late to justify favouritism in a novice at Haydock (near 1m4f, good) four weeks ago; this Derby entry has plenty of potential and no shortage of stamina.

Comment: Sound efforts in handicaps at Wetherby (7f) and Haydock (1m) this season, taking form figures to 6132; however, faces a stiffer assignment on these terms upped in distance/class.

Comment: Finished last of seven in the Cheshire Oaks but was perhaps feeling the effects of a busy spell (that was her third start in just under four weeks); scored by a wide margin at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to firm) the time before and this sister to Cracksman retains potential.

Comment: Emphatic winner of a 1m2f maiden at Newmarket (1m2f, soft) in October 2023 on second start; belated reappearance (1m2f, AW) last month looked satisfactory, except for his rider weighing in light, and there's plenty about him and his pedigree which makes this new trip look interesting for handicap debut; headgear is also enlisted.

Comment: Promise in defeat as a 2yo, including when second in a 6f maiden at the big summer meeting here (good to firm); absent for nine months prior to a front-running success at Wolverhampton last month (5f; more impressive than the winning margin might suggest); cheekpieces added for his handicap debut; opening mark looks manageable; interesting.

Comment: Mixed messages from the form of her debut win at Ascot 12 months ago (5f, good); only run out of the places late on in the Group 2 Queen Mary at Royal Ascot when last seen 339 days ago; unexposed but couldn't say she was obviously ahead of her opening mark.

Captain Kinsella

Jockey: William Carson Trainer: John Gallagher Age/Wt: 3/9-4 F: 11-357 OR: 80

10/1

Comment: Looked a real handful when tailed off on his first two starts but he's been transformed by a gelding operation and showed useful form in winning twice on Tapeta in December; unable to give his running at Sandown last month having seen no daylight and then he was pitched in too deep at York last week; this is more realistic and he appeals as being capable of better granted a suitable set up; lively outsider.

Comment: Off the mark at the sixth attempt when landing a 5f handicap at Southwell in January; missed the break and never featured at Sandown four weeks ago; dropped 4lb but this might prove too competitive.

14/1

Comment: Exposed filly but she ran right up to her best when second at Yarmouth ten days ago (5f, good to firm; visored first time); a 3lb rise in stronger company would seem likely to find her out though.

Mademoiselle

Jockey: R Kingscote Trainer: George Scott Age/Wt: 3/9-7 F: 04311- OR: 83

16/1

Comment: She had threatened better prior to getting off the mark at Thirsk last summer (5f, good; made all); game effort when defying a penalty at Southwell three weeks later; hit with a 5lb rise for that and, with other pace to contend with, she looks vulnerable on her return from nine months off.

Miss Show Down

Jockey: Saffie Osborne Trainer: Clive Cox Age/Wt: 3/8-13 F: 6291- OR: 75

16/1

Comment: Her two standout efforts last season came at Bath, notably when finishing with a real flourish to land a 5f nursery (good) when last seen in September; that form looks solid and a 4lb rise shouldn't be beyond her this year; the suitability of this sharper track has to be taken on trust but there could be a lot of pace on and she's more interesting than many.

Comment: Improved with each run for Tom Clover last year, getting off the mark with a front-running 3l defeat of Kinetic Force at Lingfield (5f, good to firm; tongue tied first time); sold for 11,000gns last September; in a hot race on her stable debut.

Jockey: T P Queally Trainer: Des Donovan Age/Wt: 3/9-11 F: 2-7610 OR: 87

1 tip

Comment: 2yo debut winner; fitted with a tongue tie for his return to turf at Bath last month and routed his rivals with an impressive front-running display (5f, good to firm); hit with a 12lb rise for that but a wide stall looked the bigger problem at Chester last time, using up early energy to get a good position but forced gradually wider as the race went on; this track should be more to his liking but others may have more juice in their mark.

Walnut

Jockey: Marco Ghiani Trainer: T. J. Kent Age/Wt: 3/8-12 F: 31 OR: 74

2 tips

Comment: Promising debut (6f, AW) in March when he was too free early on; put that experience to good use when making all at Chelmsford last month (5f) and the runner-up gives the form a solid look; unexposed but there will be much more early pace to deal with in this field.
