Runners

Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Form	Jockey	Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
—	1	2	Burdett Road (G) Free-going sort who had a disappointing 2025 on the level. Ran a couple of decent races over jumps in the autumn and was rather in-and-out of form in the Middle East early in the year. Struggled to get competitive at Royal Ascot on return …	6-29370	L Morris	James Owen	6	62.6 kg	34 33/1 Paddy… 34 Sky B… 34 Betfa… 31
—	2	11	Plage De Havre (G) Progressive sort last year who took his form to another level when a wide-margin winner of this race at its usual venue Haydock. Disappointing in a Kempton listed race on return but back to form when 5¼ lengths third of 10 to Klassleader a…	2P31-63	Callum Hutchinson	A M Balding	5	62.1 kg	7 6/1 Paddy… 8.50 Betfa… 8.50 Sky B… 8.50
—	3	6	Paddy The Squire (G) [PT] Had a good 2025 campaign, winning 3 times as well as finishing runner-up in last year's renewal of this. Stepped up markedly on his reappearance when a fine third of 16 in handicap at Royal Ascot (1¾m, good to firm, 22/1) 18 days ago and t…	2115-63	A Mullen	I Jardine	6	61.7 kg	8 7/1 Betfa… 8 Paddy… 8 Sky B… 8
—	4	1	Claymore (G) Dropped in grade and was right back to his best under a well-judged ride when making all in enthusiastic fashion in a 7-runner race at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) last week. Now up 5 lb in a more competitive race.	277851	S De Sousa	Jane Chapple-Hyam	7	60.8 kg	13 12/1 Betfa… 15 Paddy… 15 Sky B… 15
—	5	8	Klassleader (C) Made it third time lucky at Ffos Las last August and took a step forward when runner-up on handicap bow at Hamilton. Confirmed the impression that he'd make an even better 4-y-o when winning a 10-runner York handicap (1½m) on return, styli…	7212-1	Tom Marquand	W J Haggas	4	60.3 kg	2.63 13/8 Sky B… 2.20 Betfa… 2.20 Paddy… 2.20

—	6	9	Enemy (G) [T] Veteran posted useful performances when scoring on all-weather in January/February. Might've needed the outing back on turf after break at Carlisle in May and seemed to pay the price late for a rapid move into contention at Royal Ascot las…	131099	D Tudhope	Ian Williams	9	59.9 kg	34 33/1 Betfa… 31 Paddy… 31 Sky B… 29
—	7	4	Night Breeze (G) [T] Took his form up a level in 2025, winning twice at Ascot. Off the mark for the season in 5-runner event at Epsom in April and turned in a career-best effort when second of 13 to Too Soon at latter track (1½m, soft) last month, well suited …	403412	Edward Greatrex	Ian Williams	6	59 kg	15 14/1 Sky B… 21 Paddy… 21 Betfa… 19
—	8	3	Ammes (G) [V] Returned to the Flat with creditable second at Redcar in April, not getting a clear run before running on well. Confirmed himself as still in good form when fourth of 16 at Epsom (1¼m, good to soft) 29 days ago, his effort coming on the op…	523-624	Mason Paetel	James Owen	4	56.7 kg	15 14/1 Sky B… 15 Paddy… 15 Betfa… 13

—	9	7	Al Aali (G) [P1] Runner-up in a Chantilly Group 3 last year when trained by Mlle L. Pontoir but no impact in 2 handicaps this winter for Fawzi Nass. Offered more than previously for this yard when a never-nearer fifth of 14 in handicap at Sandown (1¼m) 22 …	2-00875	Darragh Keenan	George Scott	4	56.7 kg	15 14/1 Sky B… 13 Paddy… 13 Betfa… 12
—	10	10	Fierce Fortitude (G) Low-mileage 4-y-o who arrives on the up, doubling his career tally in 7-runner Redcar handicap (1¼m, good to firm) in April and ran at least as well when third of 10 in the Zetland Gold Cup at that same C&D the following month. This is tou…	321-213	D Egan	K P De Foy	4	56.7 kg	17 16/1 Sky B… 12 Paddy… 12 Betfa… 11

—	11	12	Elsass (G) Has returned from a 6-month break (gelded) an improved model, following up from Southwell with plenty to spare back on turf at Hamilton (11f) in May. Tackles stronger company for his hat-trick bid but isn't one to take lightly by any means…	9120-11	H Crouch	C Johnston	4	55.8 kg	6.50 11/2 Betfa… 7 Paddy… 7 Sky B… 7

—	12	5	Sportingsilvermine (G) Capitalised on a falling mark to land a third success for his excellent yard at Beverley in May and ran at least as well having shot back up the weights when third of 16 in handicap at York (10.3f, good) 22 days ago. Will likely need more …	000713	Marco Ghiani	James Owen	5	54.9 kg	21 20/1 Paddy… 21 Betfa… 21 Sky B… 21
