Wise Approach (C)
FAV
Smart colt who won 3 times in 2025, emulating his half-brother Perfect Power in winning the Middle Park Stakes at Newmarket (6f), showing a willing attitude after nearly coming down at the start. Has a penalty to carry but he's a serious p…

Ardisia (G)
Had a busy juvenile season, gaining his fifth win in a valuable listed event at Redcar (6f, good to soft) in October prior to finishing second over C&D on Champions Day next start. Ran below form in Greenham Stakes at Newbury (7f, good, 14…

Debut winner at the Curragh last year. Proved expensive to follow after, finishing runner-up on 4 occasions, including twice at the highest level. However, gets a 4 Ib pull at the weights with Wise Approach on their Middle Park meeting and…

Coppull (C)
A useful juvenile who improved appreciably on Leicester debut success when third of 20 in Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot. Stepped up again to win Richmond at Goodwood, seen to good effect from the front. Ran a cracker when third in the Mid…

Crown Relic (C)
[T1]
Created a good impression when winning first 2 starts at Wolverhampton. Lost his unbeaten record but wasn't disgraced when fifth in Prix Djebel at Deauville (7f, good, 42/10) 24 days ago. Drops down to 6f and is fitted with a first-time to…

Division (C)
Recorded a hat-trick last year, winning 2 novice events and a listed race at York (6f). Respectable fifth of 11 in Champions Day Two-Year-Old Conditions Stakes over C&D (good to firm, 10/3) in October but needs a step forward to feature.

Raced mainly at 7f last year, winning a maiden at Chester before being collared late on in a sales race at York. Was much improved when winning 8-runner event on handicap debut at Southwell back at 6f in March. Unexposed as a sprinter and …
