Defence Minister (G)
Useful gelding who returned to win over 7f at Kempton in March. Found it harder in top Ascot handicaps on next 2 starts but back on form when seventh of 20 at Glorious Goodwood (7f, good to firm) las…

Has found his niche since visored and dropped in trip, comfortably seeing off a couple of 3-y-os over C&D (good) under Oisin Murphy 23 days ago. Even a 9 lb rise for that stylish success could prove …

Silver Ghost (F)
Much improved when landing back-to-back 7f handicaps last spring. Returned with good placed efforts over 7f at Newmarket in May but 2 lesser runs have followed. A bounce back is needed.

Shameful (G)
Very lightly-raced 4-y-o who has been absent since shaping well (second home in his side) in the Britannia at 2025 Royal Ascot. The Clive Cox stable is in form and it'll be very interesting to see wh…

Has yet to find his very best form this season but had an excuse (raced on unfavoured part of track) at Newmarket last time and he's 4 lb lower that when winning this race (soft ground) last year. No…

Monarch's Gold (G)
Won a pair of novices on the all-weather last season and showed he's as good on turf when second at Chester in May. Respectable fifth of 10 in handicap back at Chester (7f, good to firm) 27 days ago.

Snapped a losing run in 7f Class 4 at Lingfield (all-weather) 3 weeks ago, taking full advantage of being able to dictate the pace. Unlikely he'll be able to dominate to the same extent here.

Good runner-up efforts at Musselburgh and Goodwood (both 7f, good) in the spring but off since a lesser run at Epsom in June.

Archer Royal (G)
No significant impact switched to handicaps this summer, although he did travel well for long way when dropped out in blinkers (discarded) over C&D 11 weeks ago. Too soon to write off for top stable.
