Havana Hurricane (C)
[P1]
Won the Windsor Castle at 2025 Royal Ascot. Returned with a good 2¾ lengths third of 10 to Song of The Clyde in listed race at Newbury (6f, good) in May and might be worth forgiving him a lesser effort in Group 1 company at this year's Roy…

Comical Point (C)
FAV
[T]
No win since his 5f debut but has recorded 3 good efforts this season, on the latest finishing second of 10 in 6f Windsor handicap. The return to a stiff 5f could prove ideal.

Westport (G)
Blue Point gelding who won sprint novices on his first 3 starts. Caught away from where the main action unfolded when never a threat in Palace of Holyroodhouse at Royal Ascot. Could resume his progression now.

Exclamation (C)
[P]
Doncaster novice winner at 2. Firmly back on the up when making all in 5f handicap at Chester in May but needs to bounce back from tame efforts in a York listed and the Palace of Holyroodhouse at Royal Ascot since.

One And Gone (G)
First handicap success when making all at Goodwood (5f, good to firm) a fortnight ago. Should remain competitive off 6 lb higher but this is a better class of race.
