Aqpan (C)
Off the mark in a maiden at Southwell in March. Ran his best race when sixth in the Greenham in April but lacked pace when eighth of 10 in a listed race over this trip at Newbury 7 days ago. Tough task.

Brussels (C)
[T]
Runner-up 3 times in Group company last autumn but only sixth of 8 at Ascot in a Group 3 on return from 6 months off 22 days ago. Makes a relatively quick return but hails from top yard that has seen a few of their charges need their reapp…

Coppull (C)
Third in the Middle Park last September before a 7-month break and then returned in top form when winning a Group 3 at Ascot 22 days ago. Should once more be in the mix back up to Group 2 level but did enjoy tactical advantages last time a…

Division (C)
Won over C&D in September and peaked as a 2-y-o when winning listed race at York. Took form up a notch when good third of 8 in Group 3 at Ascot on return from 7 months off 22 days ago, finishing close behind Coppull despite not getting rac…

Five Ways (C)
Looked promising last year when winning twice and then finishing fourth of 9 in the Middle Park on final outing. Unsuited by the drop back to 5f when seventh of 14 in a Group 3 at Newmarket on return from 7 months off 21 days ago and has a…

Rock On Thunder (C)
Best race last year when close second in the Gimcrack at York last August (not strong form) but ran poorly when sixth of 8 in a Group 2 at Newbury in September on soft ground. Faces stiff task on return, but drying ground will help.

Spicy Marg (F)
Useful filly who ended her 2-y-o campaign with a 6f listed success and she ran as well as could be as expected when highly tried in 1000 Guineas at Newmarket on recent return from 6 months off. Drops back in trip/class here.

Venetian Sun (F)
FAV
Won first 4 starts at 5f/6f before third in the Moyglare on final 2-y-o start in September. Likely stretched by step up to 1m when 11th of 19 in the 1000 Guineas on recent return from 8 months off. Should be fitter and this drop to 6f look…
