Aimeric²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Saffie Osborne| T: K R Burke| OR: 108| BF

9/4

Won handicap at Lingfield on return before runner-up in listed races next 2 starts. Only fourth of 5 in Glorious Stakes at Goodwood (12f, good to firm, 5/2) 3 weeks ago, but he's a major player back down in grade. First run for yard after leaving Roger Varian.

Form: 81-1224

Cash⁴³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: J P Spencer| T: D M Simcock| OR: 109

6/1

Lightly raced for his age, making the frame in listed/Group 3 races on first 2 starts last year. Below form in Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot (8f, good, 28/1) when last seen 14 months ago, but he's capable of getting involved if ready to go on return.

Form: 123/249-

Sea Of Roses¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Hayley Turner| T: A M Balding| OR: 102

6/1

Twelve runs since her sole success in 2022. However, has placed on her last 2 starts, despite having been shuffled back after 4f when 2 lengths third of 8 to High Spirited in listed race at Salisbury (9.9f, good to firm, 7/2) 10 days ago. More needed.

Form: 0-43533

Deira Mile^p⁸⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Cieren Fallon| T: Owen Burrows| OR: 110| C

11/10

Off the mark at this course (10f) in April, before running a cracker in first-time cheekpieces when 7½ lengths fourth of 16 to City of Troy in Derby at Epsom (12f, good to soft, 25/1) 84 days ago. Not taken lightly, but would want the forecast rain to materialise.

Form: 3324-14

Forecasts

Deira Mile (11/10), Aimeric (9/4), Sea Of Roses (6/1), Cash (6/1), Under The Sun (20/1), Three Priests (20/1)

AIMERIC has shown improved form this year, successful in a Lingfield handicap before running well in a pair of listed races, so he could be able to bounce back to winning ways returned to this level. Deira Mile is feared most after his fourth in the Derby, though any rain would help his chances, with Cash also one to note on his reappearance.
