Roman Dragon (G)
[P]
Chester specialist who recorded his eighth course success when landing a 10-runner handicap there in May, beating Dubai Bling by a head. Not seen to best effect when eighth over 7f at the same venue last time and yard remains in top form, …

Invictus Gold (G)

Useful sprinter who boasts a solid record at Newmarket and ran well when 5¼ lengths third of 13 to Double Rush there in April. Best not judged too harshly on his effort last time, losing place when short of room early. Yard among the winne…

Fine Interview (G)
FAV
[P]
Proved better than ever when winning a 19-runner handicap at Doncaster in March, beating Akkadian Thunder by a length. Has a good record fresh, so the absence since is not a concern, and a 5 lb rise does not look excessive. A bold bid look…

Kylian (G)
[P]
A dual listed winner for Archie Watson, has yet to score for his current yard but has shaped as if as good as ever in defeat. Excuses on last 2 starts and no surprise were he to return to from what looks an attractive mark.

Apollo One (G)

Partisan Hero (G)

Gold Star Hero (G)
[P]
Has improved this year, winning at Chelmsford and Wolverhampton before completing hat-trick at latter course last time, beating Havana Blast by 2¼ lengths. Needs to transfer that improvement back to turf but has run well at this course in …

Sondad (G)
[V]
Useful sort that won this race off a 7 lb lower mark last year and largely held form from higher marks afterwards. Had no chance racing on the stand side at York on return from 7-month absence last time. Needs to step up.

Topwarrior (G)

Eye Of Dubai (G)
Regained the winning thread at Ripon in 2025 and followed up with a couple of fine efforts in defeat, notably going close in a big-field Doncaster handicap towards the end of the year. Shaped as if in need of the run on his return and went…

Won this race in 2023 and proved a good deal of his ability remains when winning 11-runner 0-85 handicap at Redcar 12 days ago by ½-length from Bravo Zulu. Remains well treated on old form despite 3 lb rise but this is a tougher assignment…

Twilight Jet (G)
Classy sprinter in his younger days who capitalised on a much-reduced mark and justified strong support when twice scoring at Lingfield last month, beating Invincible Speed by 4 lengths in a 5-runner event on the latter occasion. Runner-up…

Purest Time (G)
Capitalised on career-low mark and ended a lengthy losing run when winning 9-runner handicap at Windsor last month by 1¼ lengths from An Outlaw's Grace. Raised 4 lb for that success and faces a much stiffer task in this company.
