Cicero's Gift (G)
Surprise winner of the Group 1 Queen Elizabeth II Stakes on Champion Day at Ascot. However, he was seen to maximum effect on that occasion and has been put firmly in his place in the Sandown Mile and Lockinge this term.

Damysus (C)
Highly progressive in 2025 aside from a blip in the Derby, ending the year with listed/Group 3 wins before returning to easily defy a penalty in Newmarket Group 3 (9f). Failed to meet expectations in the Lockinge at Newbury but is probably…

Docklands (H)
[T]
Course specialist who recorded a first success at the highest level when emerging on top in a thrilling finish in this race last year. Looked as good as ever when landing the odds at Doncaster on reappearance and backed that up with an exc…

First Conquest (G)
Smart sort who completed a hat-trick in good style in Group 3 at Meydan (1¼m) in early 2025. Most creditable efforts in defeat later that year but could well act as a pacemaker on this occasion.

More Thunder (H)
Vastly improved for this yard last year, running out a ready winner of Group 2 Hungerford Stakes (7f) in August. Left poorly placed when fourth of 16 in Group 1 Foret on final start last year and reappeared with an excellent second to Nota…

Notable Speech (H)
FAV
Winner of the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket and Sussex Stakes at Goodwood as a 3-y-o. Proved as good as ever when gaining his fifth success at the top level in Lockinge Stakes at Newbury (1m) latest, displaying a striking turn of foot. The one…

Opera Ballo (C)
[H]
High-class colt who made it a remarkable 7 wins from 9 starts when landing Sandown Mile in convincing fashion under a well-judged front-running ride (1m) in April. Leading contender on that form but it's worth noting his 2 defeats have com…

Ten Bob Tony (G)
Quickly put a poor run behind him when bagging a second Group 3 at Epsom (7f) 10 days ago but he's likely to be outclassed back up in trip/grade.

Zeus Olympios (C)
