8/1

Advanced his form further when winning 17-runner Sprint Cup at Haydock (6f, good to firm) in September by 1¼ lengths from Kind of Blue, albeit seen to good effect racing close to the stand rail. Failed to fire in the Champions Sprint Stakes at Ascot on final outing but is clearly better than that.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 109

33/1

Seemed to excel himself in first-time headgear when second in the Nunthorpe here (5f) last season. Hasn't come close to matching that form in 4 subsequent starts, though, including when well beaten in the Palace House Stakes at Newmarket on reappearance.

American Affair³³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 113| C| D

22/1

Very likeable sprinter who improved again last season, winning 3 of his 4 starts, including the King Charles III Stakes at Royal Ascot (5f) when last seen in June. Proven at York and has to be taken seriously on his return to action for all that his best efforts have come at the minimum trip.

Form: 10/1151-

Aramram²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 110| D

11/2

Ended last season with handicap success at Ascot in October and picked up where he left off when landing listed race at Doncaster on reappearance, scoring by a length from Jasour. Ran at least as well in defeat in Abernant Stakes since and has each-way claims tackling even better company.

Form: 9371-12

Cool Hoof Luke⁶⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 108| CD

15/2

Landed the Gimcrack Stakes over C&D on his final outing at 2 yrs in 2024 and shaped as if retaining all his ability on his first outing since when third in Lingfield listed event (6f) in January. Made all in a similar event at Wolverhampton (7f) since and should be just as effective back on turf.

Form: 1431/31

Crestofdistinction^p²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Connor Beasley| T: J Channon| OR: 104| D

50/1

Dual winner on all-weather who improved on turf when beaten only a head by Elmonjed in listed contest over C&D in September. Ran no sort of race in the Abernant Stakes at Newmarket on reappearance, though.

Diligent Harry^p²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-10| J: Rossa Ryan| T: C G Cox| OR: 110| D

16/1

Gained a first win in pattern company in the Chipchase at Newcastle last summer and has proved as good as ever this year, making it back-to-back listed race wins at Lingfield in February. Confirmed himself still in good heart when fourth in the Abernant Stakes but is still yet to strike on turf.

Form: 150-114

Elmonjed^t,p²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: W Buick| T: W J Haggas| OR: 105| CD

8/1

Took his form up a notch last season, winning a valuable C&D handicap in July and making the step up to listed level on final 2 starts, successful back on the Knavesmire in September. Shaped as if better for the run in the Abernant Stakes on reappearance but needs more in this higher grade.

Form: 21021-9

Jasour^h,t²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Jason Hart| T: C G Cox| OR: 107| D

10/1

Useful sort without a win since 2024 reappearance but proved as good as ever when second in Doncaster listed race on return. Ran to a similar level in the Abernant Stakes since but has more on his plate back up in grade. Tongue strap refitted.

Form: 6066-26

Kind Of Blue²⁰⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: James Doyle| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 114| D

4/1

Smart sort who landed the Champions Sprint at Ascot in 2024 and was back to that sort of level when runner-up in the Sprint Cup at Haydock in September. Disappointing in latest renewal of aforementioned race when last seen but excellent chance if returning to something like his best.

Quinault^h,t¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Marco Ghiani| T: S C Williams| OR: 110| CD

14/1

As good as ever when making all in 7f Group 3 here last summer and ended season with fine third in Champions Sprint at Ascot. Resumed winning ways in a Group 3 at Doha in February but ran one of his lesser races in the Palace House Stakes at Newmarket (5f) latest. Hood back on.

Form: 73-2136

Regional^t²⁵⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-10| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: E Bethell| OR: 112| BF| C| D

28/1

Capped off an excellent 2023 with victory in the Sprint Cup at Haydock and proved all his ability is intact when third in the King Charles III Stakes at Royal Ascot last year. Shaped as if amiss when well beaten in the Beverley Bullet on final start but capable fresh, so shouldn't be taken lightly.

Time For Sandals²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: R L Moore| T: Harry Eustace| OR: 111| BF| D

4/1

Developed into a smart sprinter last year, taking another step forward when landing the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot. Creditable third in the King George Stakes at Goodwood and should be sharper for her reappearance in the Abernant Stakes at Newmarket.

Form: 32137-5

Forecasts

Kind Of Blue (4/1), Time For Sandals (4/1), Aramram (11/2), Cool Hoof Luke (15/2), Elmonjed (8/1), Big Mojo (8/1), Jasour (10/1), Quinault (14/1), Diligent Harry (16/1), American Affair (22/1), Regional (28/1), Ain't Nobody (33/1), Crestofdistinction (50/1)

The sole filly in the line-up TIME FOR SANDALS developed into a smart sprinter last year and should be all the sharper for her reappearance run at Newmarket, so she's taken to come out on top. Kind of Blue disappointed at Ascot on his final outing in 2025 but will be a threat to all if returning to something like the pick of his form. American Affair has made giant strides forward in his career and merits obvious respect, for all that his best efforts have come at the minimum trip.
