William Hill Summer Cup Handicap

Useful front runner on his day. Posted a career best when successful in Bahrain (1¼m) over the winter. Badly hampered on reappearance at York latest and may still need this over a trip short of his optimum.

Likeable C&D winner. Enhanced fine record at York when narrowly ending a long losing run there (7f) last time. Still looks well treated off 2 lb higher and expected to run a big race back over 1m.

Useful effort when narrowly winning a Longchamp handicap (7f) in late-May. Subsequently left H-F. Devin for €80,000. Will need to have improved for the switch of stables to defy revised British mark, though.

Most recent couple of victories have come on the all-weather at Newcastle. Never looked like capitalising on falling mark there latest and looks opposable at present.

Largely struggled since going 2-2 in useful juvenile season (including debut C&D win). Step back in the right direction when 5¾ lengths fifth on first start for Nigel Tinkler at York (1m). May struggle to better that over similar trip, even with the potential for a strong pace.

Justified support to land the Thirsk Hunt Cup in May. Hasn't scaled those heights in 4 starts since, however, now finds himself back on his latest winning mark. May well notch a third consecutive C&D win with Danny Tudhope back aboard.

Won 3 times and finished runner-up in an ultra-competitive Ascot handicap during a fine 2025. Looked as good as ever when chasing home a younger rival on the up at York last time. Makes appeal, especially if Dain Ma Nut In goes off hard.

Built on promising start for new connections when a clear-cut winner at Southwell (1m) in February. Well below that level at Newcastle last time. Still feasibly treated on his best form, though it's been a while since he put his best foot forward on turf.

Hold-up type who was well positioned when winning comfortably over the Rowley Mile (1m) in May. Best effort since when 5¼ lengths third in a race run to suit at Newmarket (July) latest. May again be vulnerable for win purposes, even with good-value apprentice taking over.

On the up when completing a second double of his career in the Carlisle Bell last month. Ridden too aggressively when bidding for hat-trick at Newmarket subsequently. Will need to resume progress to defy career-high mark in better company.

Lightly-raced improver. Won 2 of 3 starts this season (his third at Haydock working out well). Travelled smoothly when scoring by 1½ lengths in a 3-y-o handicap at Chester 7 weeks ago (form has taken a few knocks). Still looks to have a good chance at the weights on first start against his elders.
