Berkshire Regal and Al Jabbar both posted promising debut runner-up efforts and are open to any amount of improvement, with the former a touch more appealing judged on the form. Regardless, GAME CHARACTER caught the eye when posting an opening fifth in the Convivial at York, which reads well given the second subsequently went close in the Group 3 Solario at Sandown. Bombora is the pick of the newcomers and is worth a second look in the market.
Berkshire Regal showed plenty behind a good winner at Lingfield on debut and should improve for his in-form yard, while Ballydoyle's Hmas Perth very much shaped as though this step up to 8f would suit when a keeping-on third t Galway on his debut. Success for either wouldn't surprise, but AL JABBAR was backed as though connections rate him highly when turned over at short odds on his Newmarket debut and the combination of an extra furlong on a flatter track, as well as a less quick surface, should all result in a much better display from the son of Sea The Stars. Bombora and Royal Quest are well-bred newcomers from top yard's who warrant respect also, especially if the betting speaks in their favour.

Having looked a smart prospect when making a winning debut at Newmarket, DESERT CASTLE is one to keep on the right side of. Although the Frankel colt hung left in the closing stages that day, he still put his rivals to the sword easily and bigger things may beckon. Gentle Hurricane arrives on the back of a decent second in the Acomb at York and he sets a good standard for the selection to aim at, while the hat-trick seeking Rosberg is also heading in the right direction.
This looks between Desert Castle, who brings a ton of potential, and GENTLE HURRICANE, who has already proven his mettle at Group level. The selection, having made a winning debut over 6f, was a little keen upped to 7f in the Group 3 Acomb at York but still came home in second behind a really promising Ballydoyle colt. His trainer won this with subsequent 2,000 Guineas winner Chaldean in 2022 and had Gewan, who went on to win the Dewhurst next time, finish fourth in this 12 months ago. He'll have to be on the top of his game to deal with Desert Castle, though, the son of Frankel having created a strong impression when making a winning debut on Newmarket's July course. He was still green then and, looking a fine, big strong sort, ought to show plenty of improvement. Breacher almost certainly needs an extra furlong already, so it's Sergei Diaghilev who is third choice. He does need to improve, though, down to 7f.

Twilight Calls continued his resurgence when completing a double in a 23-runner sprint at Goodwood, his third victory in his last four outings, and cannot be dismissed in his rich vein of form. That said, a further 4lb rise in the handicap does demand more of the veteran and GETREADYTORUMBLE earns the vote. The four-year-old could be classed as an unlucky loser when denied a clear run on his latest second at Ascot and compensation may await. Last year's winner Eternal Sunshine and runner-up Apollo One are live alternatives.
It's no use getting caught up on the draw here, although very high might be more beneficial than very low. The 8yo TWILIGHT CALLS has been in flying form since having a visor fitted, winning three of four, and his latest 4lb rise for winning at Glorious Goodwood leaves him on a fair-looking mark still - he was contesting Group 1 sprints in 2024/25. His trainer has also been amongst the winners here this week, so he has plenty going for him. The danger is fellow veteran Apollo One, who has finished runner-up in this race for each of the past two seasons. He's not been as good for much of the season, but returns off a mark 12lb lower than 12 months ago. Last year's winner Eternal Sunshine got her head back in front at Hamilton last time and should again go well despite being 4lb higher this time around. She'll be up against it to confirm form with Apollo One at the weights, though. Getreadytorumble, who ran a good race from a mark of 100 at Ascot last time and I'm Next, who could prove ideally suited by this intermediate trip, are others worthy of consideration.

More Thunder is likely to be a warm order because he sets the standard with an official rating of 119, but he hasn't reproduced the level of form shown when second in the Queen Anne at Royal Ascot in two starts subsequently. With that in mind, the five-year-old is worth taking on with QIRAT. Ralph Beckett's charge finished a creditable second in the Celebration Mile at Goodwood on his most recent start and will have no issues with this drop back a furlong in distance. Group 1 winner Never So Brave isn't out of this either.
Former shock Sussex Stakes winner Qirat likes to bowl along and he'll presumably try to make it a good test dropping down to 7f. That could play right into the hands of MORE THUNDER, a hold-up performer who doesn't always get enough pace to aim at. He's twice finished runner-up at Group 1 level over 8f this season, though, and dropping down to a trip he excelled over towards the end of last season can see him strike for the first time in 2026. Never So Brave, in the same ownership as the selection, was a Group 1 winner 13 months ago and he's in with a chance once more having had excuses at Newbury last time, while the 3yo Wise Approach, winner of last season's Middle Park, could surprise at decent odds here with the step up to 7f in new headgear promising to suit.

Aidan O'Brien has taken the last three renewals of this classic and saddles four this time around. The preference of those is for Derby winner Christmas Day, who finished a place behind stablemate Pierre Bonnard in the Great Voltiguer but is 5lb better off now and that form can be overturned. Even so, ENCELADUS looks the way to go. The son of Sea The Stars is unbeaten in three outings this year and took a big step forward when hitting the line well to take the Gordon Stakes at Goodwood. This step up in trip promises to bring out more improvement and the booking of Billy Loughnane is a massive positive.
The final Classic of the British season, Aidan O'Brien has won it five times since 2017, including for each of the past three years, and the race will surely go to either the master of Ballydoyle or his son, Joseph, this time around. The pair combine for the four strongest candidates in the race with Derby winner Christmas Day setting the standard. He certainly shapes as though he'll appreciate the stamina demands of this race and was getting a second wind at the end of the Voltigeur, so is taken to reverse that form with stablemate Pierre Bonnard, who had previously finished behind him both at Epsom and the Curragh. The selection, though, is ENCELADUS, who has been brought along via a less prestigious route, his Royal Ascot handicap win being followed by a Group 3 success at Glorious Goodwood in the Gordon Stakes. He didn't do much having hit the front then, but cheekpieces are now enlisted and he's had 44 days to develop further, while he's also a half-brother to a 14f winner, so there's plenty of hope that he'll stay this far. With his regular rider out injured, the excellent Billy Loughnane takes the mount. The selections stablemate Highwayman is a potential fly in the ointment having shown a sudden burst of improvement to win maiden and Listed events in July/August, relishing the step up to 14f last time. He could easily take another big step forward and be involved at the business end.

Mezcala won the Spring Mile over track and trip in March and, barring his below-par effort at Ascot last time, he has had a really consistent season. The four-year-old is expected to go well, but the one who appeals most is SCOVILLE. William Haggas' charge didn't get a strong pace to aim at when third over 7f Newbury last month, but this test promises to suit him a lot better. The son of Too Darn Hot remains unexposed for his age and a mark of 95 possibly underestimates his level of ability. Britannia victor Moonfall is another to consider.
A hot handicap, progressive 3yo pair Moonfall, winner of the Britannia and in good form since, and Blue Courvoisier, who made all in a big handicap at York last time, are respected once more, while Inspired has won three of his last four and escapes a penalty for his win at York just the other day. The selection, though, is SCOVILLE. The William Haggas-trained 4yo was tried at Group 2 level last season, but breathing issues, combined with a stubborn refusal to settle, have held him back. Dropped right out over 7f last time, he relaxed much better and came home well to take third at Newbury, and similar tactics over this longer trip in a bigger field could see him return to winning ways with a mark of 95 workable. Mezcala was progressive until last time and might be worth another chance, while Fifth Column has been off since Royal Ascot but is capable of good run.

Back to 2024 best, building on promising stable debut landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off a 3lb lower mark at Sandown last time; off a short-break; effective 8-10f, acts on good to firm, good and AW; promising for Roger Varian in 2024, son of Frankel retains potential.

Tawajjah made his second start for the Oli Rix stable a winning one at Sandown in July and is well worth his place at this level. City Of Poets has won two of his last three appearances and warrants plenty of respect, but it may pay to side with THUNDER RUN. Karl Burke's charge only found John Smith's Cup winner Raammee too good at York on his most recent outing and he is the one to side with.
Touch The Moon is a tough and reliable runner from Ireland who stays much further, so he won't be stopping, but there are a couple who could still be improving who are preferred over him, namely City Of Poets and TAWAJJAH. The selection looked promising for Roger Varian back in 2024, but missed all of last year. He's run two highly promising races for new connections, looking unlucky on his return and then winning with more in hand than it looked at Sandown last time. He's up in grade, but a 3lb rise looks most fair and the son of Frankel is taken to go back-to-back. City Of Poets, although keen, improved for the step up to 10f at Windsor last time and he could easily be good enough to follow up.
