—	1	4	Alparslan (C) Has met with defeat just once (when sixth in the Dewhurst) and took another step forward when landing the Greenham at Newbury on his return, plenty going his way as he made all close to the stand rai…	116-15	C Lee K R Burke	3	58.1kg	15 14/1
14th	2	8	Avicenna (C) Created a very good impression when successful twice over 7f at Doncaster last year, latterly edging out Hankelow in a listed event. Lost his unbeaten record but shaped well when 2 lengths second of …	11-20	Ray Dawson R Varian	3	58.1kg	15 14/1
12th	3	6	Billecart (C) Fourth in a strong July meeting maiden on debut and he easily dispatched 3 rivals in 1m Newcastle novice on return in February. Too keen when 7 lengths fifth (Padraig Dawn second) in listed race back…	4-150	Rowan Scott K R Burke	3	58.1kg	67 66/1
1st	4	15	Bow Echo (C) Unbeaten in 3 outings as a juvenile, culminating with an impressive display in the Royal Lodge over C&D (good to firm) in September, making smooth headway into contention before driven out to beat Hu…	111-11	Billy Loughnane G Boughey	3	58.1kg	5.50 9/2
3rd	5	2	Distant Storm (C) FAV Looked out of the top drawer when easy winner of a 7f course Group 3 (good to firm) in September. Unable to quicken in the same way when 2¼ lengths third of 9 to Gewan in Dewhurst back here (7f, good…	1313-32	W Buick C Appleby	3	58.1kg	4 3/1
2nd	6	7	Gstaad (C) FAV Impressive winner of Coventry at Royal Ascot. Runner-up in Group 1s over 6f/7f on next 3 starts (including Dewhurst here) before getting his head in front at the highest level in Breeders' Cup Juveni…	221-212	R L Moore A P O'Brien	3	58.1kg	4 3/1
4th	7	3	Into The Sky (C) Produced a level rarely seen in a newcomer when blitzing 12 rivals in a 6.5f Newbury maiden (good to firm) in August. Inexperience was the only thing which cost him victory in the Mill Reef back at N…	12-4	K Shoemark J R Boyle	3	58.1kg	19 18/1
9th	8	13	King's Trail (C) Has looked good going 2-2 over 1m at Kempton, latterly in the same conditions race the yard's Notable Speech won before taking this in 2024. Buick sticks with Distant Storm but this Sea The Stars col…	1-194	James Doyle C Appleby	3	58.1kg	7.50 13/2
11th	9	14	Lord Britain (C) T All-weather novice winner last summer. Good 5 lengths fifth to King's Trial in a conditions race at Kempton (1m) on reappearance but he's a long way off the required standard here.	8-40158	Benoit D L Sayette I Mohammed	3	58.1kg	151 150/1
13th	10	1	Needle Match (C) Made a winning debut at Newbury (6.5f, heavy) last autumn. Much improved, despite still needing the experience, when 2¼ lengths fourth of 8 to Alparslan in Greenham there (7f, good) on reappearance 1…	1-40	Tom Marquand W J Haggas	3	58.1kg	19 18/1
6th	11	10	Oxagon (C) P Second in the Champagne and fifth in the Dewhurst last autumn. Floundered in the mud at Doncaster on final 2-y-o start but resumed his progression back on quicker ground (and in first-time cheekpiece…	55-1600	Oisin Murphy J & T Gosden	3	58.1kg	13 12/1
8th	12	12	Padraig Dawn (C) Provided rookie trainer with his first winner when justifying market support in 7f Southwell novice on debut. Acquitted himself very well up in class when neck second to Timeforshowcasing in listed r…	128	Edward Greatrex Charlie Pike	3	58.1kg	41 40/1
7th	13	9	Power Blue (C) Smart effort to win the Group 1 Phoenix Stakes at the Curragh (6f, good to firm) last August. Below par when 2½ lengths second to Thesecretadversary (who received 3 lb) in 7f Leopardstown Group 3 on …	1-27441	D Egan Robson Aguiar	3	58.1kg	29 28/1
5th	14	5	Thesecretadversary (C) Listed winner over 7.5f at Tipperary last summer and reappeared to win a Group 3 at Leopardstown (7f, soft) by 2½ lengths from reopposing Power Blue. A good deal more will be required here, though.	5-15611	Seamie Heffernan J A Stack	3	58.1kg	21 20/1
10th	15	11	Venetian Prince (C) P Useful colt who produced his best effort when 3¼ lengths fourth of 5 to Oxagon in Craven over C&D (good to firm) 16 days ago. First-time cheekpieces will need to spark major improvement if he's to pr…	224015	P J McDonald A M Balding	3	58.1kg	81 80/1
