Convergent³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 117| D

11/2

Progressive at 3 yrs and conceded weight to some smart rivals when successful in the Group 3 John Porter on return, despite meeting plenty of trouble. Unsuited by conditions when well beaten in Coronation Cup and much too keen in a small field at Newmarket last time, so bounce back isn't ruled out.

Form: 117-154

5/1

Quickly reached a smart level last season, bringing up the hat-trick in listed Glasgow Stakes at Hamilton (11f) in July. Chased home Croix du Nord and Daryz on his final outing at 3 yrs but much too keen when 5¾ lengths ninth of 16 in the listed Wolferton Stakes (5/1) at Royal Ascot (1¼m) on return.

Sallaal^h³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Ray Dawson| T: R Varian| OR: 119| D

1/2

Bred in the purple and won twice in 2025. Has upped his game further this season, producing a very smart effort when storming clear in 16-runner 1¼m handicap at Epsom in June and following up with a bit in hand in 6-runner listed race at Sandown (1¼m, good). Should take all the beating up in class.

Form: 135-211

Sea Scout²⁸⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: James Doyle| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 107| D

11/1

Sprung a 40/1 surprise in the Blue Riband Trial at Epsom last April and ended 2025 in decent form, finishing a close third in a French listed race before filling the same position in the St Simon Stakes at Newbury (1½m, heavy). Gelded and this is a tough ask after 9 months off.

Forecasts

Sallaal (1/2), Nahraan (5/1), Danger Bay (5/1), Convergent (11/2), Sea Scout (11/1)

SALLAAL looked a Group horse in a handicap when bolting up at Epsom and having since landed the odds in listed company, he is strongly fancied to bring up the hat-trick. Danger Bay is highly respected after his eye-catching John Smith's Cup effort, with Nahraan also worth another chance to confirm his 3-y-o form.
