Duke Of Oxford (G)
[T]
Useful gelding who landed back-to-back 2m handicaps during the winter, latterly at Newcastle in January. Stiff task back on turf when last of 7 in Henry II Stakes over C&D in May. Others are preferred.

Furthur (G)
Runner-up in 2025 Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot and also landed the Geoffrey Freer at Newbury later last summer. Below his best this season, though faced a stiff task in Gold Cup at Royal Ascot last time. This is easier, however.

Lazy Griff (C)
FAV
Placed behind Lambourn all 3 starts last season, notably when second in Derby at Epsom and third in Irish Derby. Off 11 months but shaped well when third of 7 in Henry II Stakes over C&D 36 days ago. The one to beat.

Paradias (G)
Has been a tremendous servant for connections and landed all-weather handicap at Lingfield (1½m) in February. Not disgraced when fifth of 7 (two places behind Lazy Griff) in Henry II Stakes over C&D last time so not out of things.

Lady Vivian (F)
Useful filly who was twice a winner at 1½m in 2025. Back on track with fourth of 11 in listed race at Baden-Baden (11f) 29 days ago. Has her stamina to prove here.
