Audience (G)
[P]
Unreliable type who was a Group 1 winner in his pomp for the Gosden stable but proved more miss than hit in 4 starts in Meydan for this yard earlier this year. Others more convincing back on these shores.

Balmacara (G)
Dual 7f winner who showed form akin to his best when second in listed company at Sandown (1m, heavy) in September. Well below form in handicaps final 2 starts though, and work to do on these terms back in listed company on seasonal bow.

Beauty Destiny (G)
[H1B1T1]
Multiple winner in Hong Kong for F. C. Lor, including 3 times in early-2025. Ran poorly on final start at Sha Tin and never figured after 11 months off when sixth of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) on stable debut in March. Tried in new he…

Heathcliff (G)
Raced exclusively on all-weather to date, gaining reward for string of consistent efforts when scoring at Lingfield (7f) in February. Second in listed company next time but mark suffered as a result, fourth on all-weather Finals Day at New…

Holguin (G)
Made a very good start for this yard last summer, building on his third in the Buckingham Palace Stakes when adding a second City Plate victory to his tally at Chester (7f) in July. Absent since though, so market likely to prove a useful g…

Lake Forest (G)
FAV
Very smart performer who was winless last season but ran right up to his best when second in York Group 1 at the Ebor Meeting. Excuses on account of the ground at Flemington on final start and he sets the standard on return eased markedly …

| 2nd | 7 | 2 |
Myal (G)
Progressive profile in handicaps and signed off last season with a fine second at listed level. Presumably fitter for comeback when proving half-length too good for Poet Master in conditions event at Thirsk (7f) 4 weeks ago and can go well…

D Allan | Steph Hollinshead | 5 | 61.7 kg |

| 4th | 8 | 10 |
Palmar Bay (G)
Won a brace of 7f handicaps last season and returned from 3 months off with a solid fourth in listed Lady Wulfruna Stakes at Wolverhampton (7f) in March. Will need to step up further if he's to play a lead role, though.

Rossa Ryan | R M Beckett | 5 | 61.7 kg |

| 5th | 9 | 3 |
Poet Master (G)
Smart gelding who was twice a runner up in Group races during the autumn but failed to make the most of a good opportunity in receipt of 4 lb when second behind Myal on his Thirsk reappearance 4 weeks ago. Could step up on that but he'll n…

Release The Storm (G)
Son of Iffraaj who arrives 2-2, looking potentially useful when readily defying a penalty in a Doncaster novice (7f, firm) in August. Remains with potential quickly perched up in class for return.

K Stott | B J Meehan | 4 | 61.7 kg |

| 8th | 11 | 5 |
Ten Bob Tony (G)
Smart gelding who bagged the John of Gaunt Stakes over C&D on return last season. Found emphasis on speed too much at Ascot on final start but returned with a respectable fourth in 7f listed event at the Curragh 6 weeks ago. No surprise to…
