Cash (G)
Winless since debut back in 2021 but has still reached a smart level, getting back on track making a belated handicap debut when runner-up at Doncaster when last seen in September. Will need things to drop right on return given his usual h…

Circus Of Rome (G)

Hard Endeavor (C)
Confirmed previous promise when landing the odds in a Kempton novice (1m) in November. Advanced his form upped to listed level when fifth of 7 at Deauville (9.5f) later the same month, though was well held making seasonal/handicap debut at…

Raammee (G)
[H1]
Looked smart prospect when winning pair of all-weather novices last year. After 9 months off, raced too freely when fourth of 7 on handicap debut over this C&D 16 days ago, so he's worth another chance with hood now added.

High Degree (G)

Opened account at the third time of asking at Ffos Las (1m) last summer. Didn't manage to kick on in handicaps next 3 starts, but after 7 months off (gelded) he got back on the up when second of 11 at Newbury (1¼m) in May. Respected back d…

Sean (H)

Capitalised on a falling mark when getting back to winning ways at Meydan (9.5f) in January. Excuses at the same course next 2 outings but ran poorly there when last seen in March. Fitted with tongue strap for return to Britain.

Maiden winner on second start for current yard in February and quickly left behind a lesser effort when landing an Epsom handicap in April. Met trouble in running when down the field in Victoria Cup at Ascot last time, so he could bounce b…

Beagle Bay (G)
Landed the odds at Chelmsford on return and showed improved form when doubling his tally on handicap debut at Yarmouth (7f) last month, well on top at the finish. Major player with more still to offer back up in trip.

Benefited from a drop back in grade after 6 months off when successful at Southwell in April, enhancing his good record fresh. However, wasn't in the same form back in stronger company at Ascot since.
