Al Mubhir^t³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 110| C| D

7/2

Consistent type who translated his good handicap form this year back to listed company, taking Sandown contest over this trip last month. That form hasn't worked out and he's up in grade but he couldn't be dismissed.

Form: 36-2631

Anmaat⁴³⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Jim Crowley| T: Owen Burrows| OR: 116| CD

8/11

Cracking strike-rate in the last 3 years, 3-3 in 2022 including victory in this, while he took a Longchamp Group 1 when last seen 14 months ago. Good record fresh for yard who do well with similar types and no surprise if he made a successful return.

Certain Lad⁴⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: George Bass| T: J Channon| OR: 112| C| D

7/1

Found the right opportunity to open his account for the year when taking listed race in France over this trip 7 weeks ago, making all. Third to Anmaat in 2022 but probably only of interest this time if the ground softens.

Form: 511-421

Mujtaba^b⁵³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Watson| T: W J Haggas| OR: 108| D

9/1

Smart form when winning a pair of handicaps over this trip in autumn 2022. Ran easily his best race of the year, even if still a little below his very best, in listed contest at Goodwood in May, but not so good in the Wolferton at Ascot next time. More needed.

Form: 1/2-6820

Regal Reality¹³

Age: 9| Weight: 9-7| J: Saffie Osborne| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 106| D

14/1

Smart performer who has won a Group 3 every year bar one since 2018 and wasted no time getting back to form after 9 weeks off when second in listed race at Pontefract a fortnight ago. Back up in trip and no surprise to see him figure for the sponsors.

Form: 24-4372

Anmaat (8/11), Al Mubhir (7/2), Bracken's Laugh (9/2), Lord North (5/1), Certain Lad (7/1), Mujtaba (9/1), Regal Reality (14/1)

2022-winner ANMAAT took a Group 1 in France when last seen in May 2023 and could be well placed to make a successful return if all is well. 3-y-o Bracken's Laugh is interesting, while Regal Reality and Al Mubhir can also feature.
