Cicero's Gift (G)
Surprise winner of the Group 1 Queen Elizabeth II Stakes on Champion Day at Ascot. However, he was seen to maximum effect on that occasion and could only manage 7½ lengths fourth to Opera Ballo in Sandown Mile (good) on reappearance in a r…

Damysus (C)
Finished last in last year's Derby but has a highly progressive profile otherwise, ending 2025 with listed/Group 3 wins before returning to easily defy a penalty in Newmarket Group 3 (9f, good to firm). The manner in which he quickly put a…

Dancing Gemini (H)
[P1]
Went close in this race 12 months ago (also third in Jacques Le Marois at Deauville) but ran poorly behind a couple of these on Sandown reappearance and this looks a stronger renewal than last year. First-time cheekpieces go on.

Jonquil (C)
Won the Greenham here (7f, good) and Celebration Mile at Goodwood (good to firm) last year. Bounced straight back from a lesser effort in Abu Dhabi in February with a cosy success in 1m Ascot listed race 15 days ago.

More Thunder (H)
Vastly improved for this yard last year, stepping out of handicap company to readily win Group 2 Hungerford here (7f, good to firm) in August. Left poorly placed from a wide stall when fourth of 16 in Group 1 Foret (7f again) on final star…

Notable Speech (H)
FAV
Winner of the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket and Sussex Stakes at Goodwood as a 3-y-o. Back on form with Grade 1 wins in North America last autumn (Breeders' Cup Mile latterly) and shaped better than result (not clear run) when fourth on reappe…

Sahlan (C)
Shaded a close finish in Group 1 Moulin at Longchamp (1m, good to firm) last September. Ended year with creditable 2¼ lengths fifth of 13 to Notable Speech in Breeders' Cup Mile at Del Mar (1m, firm). Only had 7 starts so may not have reac…

The Lion In Winter (C)
[P1]
Failed to win last year but was placed 4 times at Group 1 level. Dropped to listed company to make a winning reappearance at Leopardstown (1m, soft) last month. Fitted with first-time cheekpieces now stepping back up in class. A big career…
