Vaguely Royal (G)
FAV
[P]
Useful at his best but hasn't scored in this sphere since December 2023. Acquitted himself well when sixth of 10 here (2¼m) last month but not ideally placed when down the field at Lingfield (2m) since.

John Galt (G)
[PT]
Likely just a bit quirky, running creditably in first-time cheekpieces/tongue tie when third of 9 in novice at this course (1½m) 18 days ago (carried head awkwardly). Not discounted returned to handicap company, provided he proves more tra…

The Truant (G)
Offered something to work on making just third start for this yard after 4 months off when seventh of 9 at Kempton (2m) recently, though that was still a fair way below the best of his Irish form.

Captain Brett (G)
[H]
Won 1¾m handicap at Yarmouth in June and first past the post at Bath (1¾m, firm) the following month only to be demoted after wandering under pressure and causing interference. Ran poorly at Newmarket on final outing last season and will p…
