Pride Of Donegal (C)
[V]
Largely progressive sort who landed a pair of 1½m Wolverhampton handicaps before recording a good third of 5 on his turf debut at Thirsk (1½m) last month. Possibilities.

Topteam (G)
Resumed his progress when scoring at Kempton in April but he came in last of 5 in handicap at Epsom (1½m) 17 days ago. This likeable front-runner is the type to bounce back quickly.

Arqoob (G)
Rejuvenated in blinkers last season, easily winning on July course here (1¾m) and a good fourth in handicap at Wolverhampton final run. Headgear is left off for his return though.

Marnier (G)

Got off the mark in Lingfield maiden in November and better form since in handicaps, a very good second of 6 at Southwell (11f) 22 days ago. Considered.

Double Meaning (G)
Progressive type who scored twice on all-weather last autumn. Well below par on soft ground when fifth at Nottingham (1¾m) final run but appeals as the sort to do well again in 2026.
