Botanical (G)
Progressed into a smart performer in 2024. Placed in the Doncaster Mile on this card on his 2025 reappearance. Didn't really kick on in a light campaign after but his good record fresh makes him a dangerous one to discount on first run for…

La Botte (C)

Unlucky second in last year's Britannia at Royal Ascot and made an eye-catching return to action when 2 lengths fourth in the Lincoln Trial at Wolverhampton (8.6f), running on from too far back under considerate handling. Today's likely gr…

Shout (G)
Resumed his progression with a big-field handicap win at Ascot (1m, good to soft) in September. Backed that up when fourth of 20 in the Balmoral there on final start. Contender for a yard which has had one placed in this in 3 of the last 4…

Great Acclaim (G)
Reacted really well to blinkers last summer, winning at Goodwood and Chepstow before running 3 crackers in defeat in strong handicaps at Goodwood and Ascot (all 7f, including on soft). Well beaten in Balmoral final start. Goes without head…

Thunder Roar (G)
Second and first past the post (demoted to second) in last 2 runnings of the Spring Mile. Career-best effort to win a 1m Ayr handicap on soft last autumn. Should be sharper for Wolverhampton return 3 weeks ago. Has to compete off a triple-…

Anno Domini (G)
Fifth in the Group 1 Futurity over C&D on heavy in autumn 2024. Has seen the track only 3 times since but there was enough in his 2 performances at Meydan this winter to think he still retains his ability and Charlie Appleby has won this t…

Won a pair of 1m handicaps last year, including his reappearance. Further progress when third in the Shergar Cup Mile at Ascot (good to firm) in August and he was better than the result in the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket on final start. St…

Tarkhan (G)
Useful performances when runner-up in 7f handicaps on soft at Sandown and Newbury in the second half of last season but he ended the campaign with 2 lesser efforts. Others are more obvious.

Eternal Force (G)
It took him 5 attempts to win a maiden but his form has taken off since, winning competitive 1m handicaps at Newbury (soft) and Haydock (good to soft; by 3 lengths) last autumn. Almost certainly more to come for a leading stable no strange…

Valvano (G)
[B1T1]
Has shown useful form in handicaps, looking suited by a drop back in trip on his final 2 starts last year, travelling well again when third of 14 over C&D on heavy in October. If a new headgear combination helps him to find a bit more off …

Galeron (G)
Fifth in this off 7 lb higher on last year's reappearance and ended that campaign with a runner-up effort over C&D on heavy in October. Enters calculations with Jack Callan taking a handy 5 lb off.

Rogue Diplomat (C)
Ended 2025 with a handicap 4-timer over 7f, with the last 2 legs coming here (heavy ground second occasion). No surprise were this excellent yard to get even more out of him in 2026 but he does need to prove he's as effective over 1m.

Greek Order (G)

Underperformed during US stint but quickly found top form back in Britain last year, hitting the frame in a trio of top-end handicaps (including Royal Hunt Cup). Not so good in the autumn but might have been revitalised by a break and goes…

Useful sort but the handicapper looked in control for most of last season. His stable won this in 2024 but his claims still aren't obvious on his return having been gelded.

Orandi (G)
[T]
Winner of last year's Irish Lincolnshire before finishing a close third in this. However, he disappointed in this year's Irish Lincolnshire on his recent reappearance so can't be sure he turns up in the same form as 12 months ago.

Alpha Crucis (G)
[P]
Goes well when the mud is flying. Drew a blank in 2025 but his runner-up effort at Sandown and Goodwood at the end of last summer were as good as anything he's produced. Eighth in this on good last year but fourth on heavy in 2024. Further…

Tribal Chief (G)

Won 4 handicaps in 2024 and firmly back on the up when scoring at Goodwood (1m, good to firm) at the end of last summer. Respectable seventh of 20 in Balmoral at Ascot (1m, good to firm) on final start. His trainer won this in 2023.

Metal Merchant (G)

Won the Newbury Spring Cup on his 2024 reappearance. Posted some good efforts in defeat later that year but below par in only 2 outings last season. Has left Jack Channon ahead of reappearance. Also blinkered first time.

Returned from a 9-month absence to win at Newbury (7f, soft) last autumn and back on the up when leading close home at Lingfield (7f again) in December. Only tenth of 12 in the Lincoln Trial on his recent reappearance so he needs to have c…
