Carmers (C)
FAV
[V1]
Smart colt who won Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot in 2025 and signed off with a good fifth in the St Leger at Doncaster. Returned with encouraging fifth in listed race at Navan (1¾m) 34 days ago. Visor on 1st time (replaces blinkers) and bold…

Tennessee Stud (C)
Smart and reliable 15f winner in 2025. Only tenth of 11 in handicap at King Abdulaziz (15f) in February but he's the sort to bounce back.

Dallas Star (G)
Useful gelding. Not disgraced when fifth of 6 to Scandinavia in Saval Beg Levmoss Stakes at Leopardstown (1¾m) 14 days ago. Twelve runs since his last win in 2025 however.

Layfayette (G)
[P]
Useful gelding. Ended a near 3-year losing sequence in minor event at the Curragh (1¾m) in April. Faced a stiff task and not discredited when sixth of 7 to Scandinavia in listed race at Navan (1¾m) 34 days ago. More is needed here though.

Mont St Michel (H)
[PT]
A useful winner for Aidan O'Brien but yet to show that form for this yard, last of 6 to Scandinavia in Saval Beg Levmoss Stakes at Leopardstown (1¾m) 14 days ago. This is no easy ask.

Alba Chiara (F)

Course winner but he resumed from 8 months off with a never-dangerous nineteenth of 24 in handicap at the Curragh (1¾m) 5 days ago. Blinkers go on for 1st time.
