Regent Seven Seas Cruises Bentinck Conditions Stakes

An impressive winner of the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket (9f) last season and steadily worked his way back to that sort of form this term, making breakthrough at listed level here (10f) in May. Down the field in a in very competitive Wolferton at Royal Ascot since but expected to bounce back.

Smart gelding who had a highly productive 2024, culminating in success in 20-runner Balmoral handicap at Ascot on Champions Day. Probably needed comeback run at Chester 3 weeks ago though does have stamina to prove going beyond 1m for the first time in his career.

Steadily progressive for Sir Michael Stoute last year and improved further to make winning return for his new yard at Newmarket (9f). Fared best of those in centre of track when sixth of 30 in Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot before resuming winning ways in John Smith's Cup at York, well ridden. Respected.

Came good when winning 22-runner Lincoln at Doncaster on return and improved again when defying 5 lb rise at Newcastle 5 weeks ago. Should stay this far and needs considering.

Quickly developed into a useful performer last season and took his form to another level when making all in Windsor handicap on return 67 days ago, albeit having the advantages of both the rail and a tailwind. Ran well at this meeting last season and remains unexposed. Up in trip.

Winless since debut but stepped up on his comeback when fourth in listed race here (10f). However, ran poorly at Sandown next time, seemingly not in the right mood (fractious beforehand), and this hold-up performer needs things to drop right.

80,000F, €100,000Y, €270,000 2-y-o. Night of Thunder gelding who looked potentially useful when beating a previous winner to make a belated winning debut at Thirsk last month. However, taking on some smart performers on just his second career start now.

Useful performer who scored at Al Uqda (11.5f) in March and ran well off a stiff mark when eighth of 30 in Royal Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot. Did well to finish third in listed race at Sandown since having raced freely and he's not taken lightly.
