L'Eagle Aid (G)
Back in a 0-75 for the first time since landing a double (off this mark) over C&D last July, having run creditably when sixth of 15 in an apprentice handicap here on his latest start.

Taritino (G)
FAV
Enjoyed a good time of things over hurdles this spring and he confirmed the promise of his recent Flat return when winning readily in a similar event at Salisbury last time. Up 6 lb but this track ought to suit his style, and he's expected…

Oman (G)
[P]
Versatile C&D winner who turned in his best effort for a while when scoring in decisive fashion at Goodwood (9f). Effort flattened out when fourth here (7.5f) 7 days later but has been given more time between races and is still weighted to…

Triple Force (G)
[P]
Free-going sort who won 4 times in 2025 and turned in his best effort of this season at York (1¼m) on his latest start. Stall 9 isn't the ideal draw given his quirks, though, pulling too hard on his sole previous try over this longer trip.

Percy Jones (G)
[P1]
Dead-heated over C&D off his mark last July but was subsequently demoted (edged right). He needs to pull out a bit more to make it 5 consecutive seasons with a win, however, he's well worth a go in first-time cheekpieces on the back of a c…

Spartan Times (G)
Has won 6 races across both codes since this time last year and while he has a better draw than when third on his only previous C&D start, it was disconcerting to see him hang badly right when last of 5 on recent return to the Flat at Ripo…

Atheneum (G)
[P]
Maiden who finished runner-up in a couple of handicaps for John Joseph Murphy. Discouraging start for current yard on the all-weather over the spring, though does at least return to turf.

Condotti (G)
[P]
Maiden fared better than he has for some time when third at Hamilton (1m) on his latest start, doing well against an apparent pace bias. That form is working out well and while the markedly longer trip is a step into the unknown, he certai…

Relentless Hero (G)
Ulysses gelding who made all to get off the mark at the fourth attempt in a 1¼m Lingfield maiden (heavy) last time. Longer trip could offset the vastly different conditions he'll face here and this unexposed sort merits plenty of respect n…
