A Piece Of Heaven (G)
[T]
Sent off favourite for the Copper Horse here on stable debut in 2024 (finished mid-field). Only one run last year but has been standing his racing better this season, landing the Chester Cup by ½ length from Maxi King 6 weeks ago. Had the …

Berkshire Sundance (G)
[P]
Enhanced his very good strike rate in handicaps when winning over 2m at Newcastle on Good Friday in first-time cheekpieces. From 7 lb higher mark, ran at least as well back on turf when sixth behind a couple of today's rivals in the Cheste…

Carlton (G)

Columbus (G)
Smart stayer for Christophe Ferland, winning listed race and Group 3 in France in 2024 before placed in a German Group 1 last year. Making stable/hurdling debut, shaped promisingly after 7 months off when second in a 2½m Killarney novice i…

Dallas Star (G)
Without a win since last year's reappearance but was a good second to Scandinavia in 1¾m listed race at Navan in April. Hasn't reproduced that in 2 outings since, though, having the run of the race when fourth of 5 in 2m listed event at Do…

French Master (G)

Won 1¾m handicap at Goodwood last spring and followed up in the Copper Horse at this meeting. Shaped well on return when third of 6 in 1½m Group 2 at Newmarket, but wasn't in the same form at Newbury 5 weeks ago. He's interesting back here…

Hipop De Loire (G)

One-time smart stayer who was pulled up over hurdles on final 3 outings for Willie Mullins this spring (subsequently sold for 15,000 gns). Back on the Flat for yard debut, offered little immediate encouragement when well held in 1¾m handic…

Runner-up in the Gold Cup here and Goodwood Cup last year. Third in the Ormonde at Chester (won same race in 2025) on this season's return, but ran poorly when tailed off in Coronation Cup at Epsom 2 weeks ago, even if he was acting as pac…

Le Destrier (C)
Listed winner in Poland as a 4-y-o before only one run in France for Alicja Karkosa in 2024. After nearly 2 years off, made a very encouraging stable debut when 1¼ lengths third of 6 to Scandinavia in the Saval Beg at Leopardstown in May. …

Good efforts without getting his head back in front last year, before enhancing his fine record fresh when ½-length second of 15 to A Piece of Heaven in the Chester Cup 6 weeks ago, looking unlucky after a troubled passage. Unexposed as a …

Fair handicapper on the Flat for Ed Walker, his only win over 7f back in October 2024. Failed to beat a rival in 7-runner event at Chelmsford (1m) on first run for current trainer in March and hasn't offered much over hurdles in 3 subseque…
