10th	2	9	Warrant Holder (G) FAV T Much improved on the back of being gelded this season, returning with C&D win before an excellent second of 17 in Duke Of Edinburgh at Royal Ascot (1½m) 22 days ago. Finished clear of rest there so m…	1231-12	R Havlin J & T Gosden	4	62.6kg	4 3/1
17th	3	13	Yabher (G) Low-mileage son of Sea The Stars who resumed from 7 months off with an easy all-the-way success in 12-runner handicap at Newmarket (1½m) in May. Hiked up 12 lb but open to further progress and merits…	101-100	Jason Hart W J Haggas	4	62.1kg	8 7/1
7th	4	8	Thunder Run (G) Scored over C&D last May and posted another good effort over C&D with second in 15-runner handicap in May. Not discredited when in midfield in Royal Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot (1m) since so not out of t…	640-720	Shane Gray K R Burke	5	61.7kg	23 22/1
5th	5	3	Danger Bay (C) Lightly-raced son of New Bay who advanced his form on his reappearance with impressive victory in Zetland Gold Cup at Redcar (1¼m) in May. Up 8 lb but he's firmly in the picture with more to come.	3119-14	D Tudhope E Bethell	4	61.2kg	6.50 11/2
16th	6	2	Will Scarlet (G) P A multiple ex-French scorer who made it two wins in his last 3 runs for current yard in 9-runner handicap at Newcastle (1¼m) 16 days ago. Not taken lightly under a 5 lb penalty.	251910	Mason Paetel S & E Crisford	5	61.2kg	41 40/1
2nd	7	1	Hand Of God (G) Smart winner at Royal Ascot in 2024. Had a disappointing 2025 but right back on song when resuming winning ways at Newbury (1¼m) 21 days ago. Can't be ruled out despite a 5 lb weights rise.	960-712	Lewis Edmunds Harry Charlton	5	60.8kg	6.50 11/2

18th	9	21	Dain Ma Nut In (G) C&D winner last August. Kickstarted 2026 with win at Sakhir in January but only seventh of 10 in listed race there (11f) following month. Freshened up since but others look better treated at these we…	180-170	T Eaves L Russell & M Scudamore	5	59.9kg	51 50/1
8th	10	17	Auld Toon Loon (G) T Posted a good third at Windsor in May and not seen to best effect when seventh of 16 in handicap at Epsom (1¼m) following month when left with a lot to do. No forlorn hope.	01-8378	Pierre-Louis Jamin Tom Dascombe	7	59kg	67 66/1
1st	11	14	Raammee (G) H Looked a smart prospect when winning pair of 1m all-weather novices last autumn. All the better for his reappearance fourth when an excellent second of 12 in handicap at Sandown (1m) 4 weeks ago. Hoo…	11-421	Ray Dawson R Varian	4	58.1kg	6 5/1
22th	12	11	Iron Fist (G) Ended 2025 with a pair of 1m/1¼m wins and has continued on the up this season, third of 20 in handicap at the Curragh (1¼m) last time. This Irish challenger shouldn't be underestimated.	61-0230	O J Orr Mrs J Harrington	4	58.1kg	23 22/1
14th	13	19	Have Secret (G) V Resumed winning ways at Pontefract in April but turned in a rare below-par effort when twelfth of 16 in handicap at Epsom (1¼m) last time. The sort to bounce back.	14-5150	Billy Garritty R A Fahey	6	57.6kg	101 100/1

21th	15	12	Sportingsilvermine (G) Advanced his form of late, gaining a second success in his last 3 runs in 12-runner handicap at Newmarket (1½m) a week ago. Not out of things under a 5 lb penalty.	071310	Rossa Ryan James Owen	5	56.2kg	23 22/1
6th	16	15	Spell Master (G) Ended a light 2025 campaign with success at Newcastle (7f) in October for Andrew Balding/. Changed hands for 150,000 gns thereafter and took his form up a notch with third of 13 in handicap at Newmar…	01-8367	Jonny Peate Oli Rix	4	55.3kg	41 40/1

20th	21	4	Per Contra (G) P In good form this season without winning until only eighth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (1¼m) 16 days ago. No surprise to see him get back on track here.	034804	D Fentiman T D Easterby	5	53.5kg	67 66/1
15th	22	5	Pearl River (C) Doubled his tally over C&D in May and backed it up with a solid second of 3 in handicap at Salisbury (1½m) 11 days ago. More is needed from 3 lb "wrong" in the weights here, though.	1-58120	Cam Hardie R Hannon	3	51.7kg	34 33/1
