Won this last year; needs things to go right for him nowadays but he's a class act at this level (seven Gr 3 wins) and, best in small fields, this sort of scenario is ideal; big form chance.

Form has levelled off since looking on a sharp upward curve in spring 2024 but, having been gelded, did run well enough when third at Newmarket (12f) last time to command respect.

AL AASY rolled back the years to claim some notable scalps, including Arabian Crown, in the Gordon Richards on his return but hasn't quite performed to that standard since, finishing fourth as favourite in the Aston Park before running as well as could be expected in the Hardwicke. He gave William Haggas his third victory in this race since 2020 12 months ago and can double up. His stablemate Candleford won at Beverley to boost his confidence - something last year's Derby runner-up Ambiente Friendly could do with, although a recent gelding operation may help.
Clear preference is for last year's winner AL AASY, who is a real class act in this scenario - a small-field Group 3 - as he underlined again when winning this last year and when winning at Sandown in April for his seventh win at this level. This isn't the strongest of fields for the level and Al Aasy is well capable of conceding a 3lb penalty all round. Stablemate Candleford is very dependable and, in-form after a third Listed win last time, is next best ahead of Arabian Crown. Ambiente Friendly would win this on the form of his second in last year's Derby when with James Fanshawe but has lost his way since, with a tendency to pull too hard having got worse since joining his current yard.
Won top AW handicap well over 2m at Newcastle in April but something evidently amiss when pulled up in Gold Cup latest; bit to prove back on grass (used to act on soft) now.
Winner of five races from 1m 1f to 2m on soft ground and on the all-weather. Pulled up when 50-1 in the Group 1 Gold Cup at Ascot over 2m 4f (good to firm) won by Trawlerman in June on his latest outing.

FRENCH DUKE hasn't managed to get his head in front since justifying favouritism at last year's Glorious Goodwood, but he has actually only had two starts since and there was nothing wrong with his Royal Ascot comeback. It is expected that he has been aimed at this meeting again. Joseph O'Brien has already tasted success here this week so Aeronautic commands respect, although Ryan Moore opposes the Owning Hill handler now on fellow Irish raider Duraji - a rare Goodwood runner for Dermot Weld. The hat-trick seeking Sam Hawkens is feared most, though.
Plenty to consider in an open race. The one to appeal most is AERONAUTIC, who ran well in a slightly better-contested race than this at Ascot last time and represents a trainer whose British runners always command a great deal of respect. That was only the second start of Aeronautic's season so some improvement on it is quite possible now too. French Duke, who won at this meeting last year and ran a satisfactory race on his seasonal debut considering he was set plenty do, may be next best ahead of the selection's old rival Barnso, now having his first start for Alan King. Duraji is a possible improver worth considering too, especially if strong in the betting.
Won Listed race at Pontefract over 12f last time, so comes here in good form; acts on any and stays 14f; others have stronger form, though.
Winner of five races from 1m 3f to 1m 4f on ground varying from good to firm to good to soft. A winner at 7-1 at Pontefract over 1m 4f (good) on her latest outing in June, beating Karmology by a neck.

Goodie Two Shoes has been carrying all before her in Ireland, building on a Listed brace by landing a Fairyhouse Group 3. Her winning run could be brought to an end by TERM OF ENDEARMENT, who was pipped in a York Group 3 prior to disappointing in the Coral Marathon. Back against her own sex, she can defend the crown she won when with Henry de Bromhead last season. Danielle is a fascinating contender upped in trip for her return to action, with Musidora runner-up Serenity Prayer leading the three-year-old charge.
This may well go to TERM OF ENDEARMENT for the second year running. She showed she was as good as ever when second at York in May and might well have not quite seen out the 2m against males last time. However, on her best form (such as last year's win or that York second), has strong prospects. Up-and-coming 3yo Waardah may be the main danger ahead of the bang in-form Goodie Two Shoes. The reappearing Danielle is a close relative of Ascot Gold Cup winner Courage Mon Ami and, as such, is a possible improver up in trip now. She may be best of the rest.
Not at best so far this season but latest effort in 5f Listed race was okay and, second in this for the last two years (including on heavy in 2023), worth considering.
Winner of five races from 6f to 7f on good to firm and soft ground and on the all-weather. Finished 2 1/2l behind Washington Heights when fifth of 8 at 7-1 on his latest outing at York over 5f (good to firm) last month.

Bit below form lately though has still run okay; effective at 6-7f and on soft; visor first time; surplus stamina is a help here and not without an each-way chance.
He has won four times from 6f to 7f on good to firm and soft ground and on the all-weather. Finished 6l behind More Thunder when sixth of 12 at 12-1 on his latest outing at Newmarket over 7f (good to firm) last month. He is wearing a visor for the first time.

Generally out of form; risky on the face of it but he would be very well-weighted if he could tap back into his old 2023 form and used to act on soft, so not completely discounted.
He has won three times from 6f to 7f on ground varying from good to firm to good to soft, but last win was over two years ago. Beaten 12l behind Get It at 28-1 when 22nd of 28 on his latest outing at Ascot over 6f (good to firm) in June.

Successful at 5f and 7f on good ground. A winner at 25-1 at Ascot over 7f (good) on his latest outing last month, beating Classic by a neck. Carries a 6lb penalty today for that success.

Hammer The Hammer is a progressive colt that fully deserves a crack at his elders after a sterling second-placed finish in the Palace Of Holyroodhouse at Royal Ascot. However, this is a power-packed renewal and another step forward is needed. Having shown resolution with a cheekpieces/tongue-tie combination tried at York most recently, ELMONJED could be the answer, with a penalty not an insurmountable burden. The resurgent Get It won this off 6lb lower 12 months ago and another must for the shortlist after landing the Wokingham at the Royal meeting. Completely Random, Apollo One and Purosangue also boast solid credentials.
Many to consider with the rain-softened ground complicating things somewhat too. The one to appeal most is JAKAJARO, who has been catching the eye over a now inadequate 5f of late, has dropped to a good mark, is well suited by give in the ground and has a fine big-handicap rider in Jamie Spencer on board. Korker will probably start slowly as usual but there's plenty of recent evidence which still gives him a major chance while give in the ground is fine for him too. He is next best. Proven big-field handicap performer Strike Red ran very well from a poor draw last time and may be third best while others for the shortlist include the in-form and unexposed Elmonjed, the progressive Circe, the classy Annaf and previous dual winner of this, Commanche Falls.

Yah Mo Be There, who contested the 2000 Guineas and Jersey Stakes on his last two starts, merits close inspection dropped in class for his handicap debut, while Consolidation also competes after a Royal Ascot appearance where he wasn't beaten far despite finishing 10th in the Britannia. However, his progressive and hat-trick seeking stable companion EL MATADOR earns a tentative vote based on his potential for further progression now he steps into handicap company. Mudbir and Miami Matrix are other in-form contenders to consider.
Mudbir heads the market and looks worth his position there given he's 2-4 in his short career and has already proven himself versatile ground wise. A 2lb rise for his latest win looks lenient given the runner up ran a big race here earlier in the week. It is CONSOLIDATION who gets the verdict though a C&D winner who wasn't disgraced in a strong Britannia last time despite a poor draw on the far side that left him with no chance. The drop back in trip is no issue and his dam ran well on soft ground for the same trainer so he should handle the easier conditions. Spirit Of Farhh has shown all of his best form on soft ground and should remain competitive for a yard which has enjoyed success this week while recent novice winner Headmaster completes the list of dangers from a lenient opening mark. His top class pedigree suggests the softer ground will being improvement on this handicap bow.

Corinth finished a respectable fourth on debut at Sandown last month and that form is working out well, so he has to be respected. His draw in stall 12 is a slight concern, so it may pay to side with ISAAC NEWTON. Aidan O'Brien's youngster shaped with bundles of promise when only going down a nose to a more fancied stablemate at the Curragh and will have plenty more to offer. Exclusive Code is another to note.
Plenty of dead wood in this valuable maiden. ISAAC NEWTON has strong prospects on his debut second to a more-experienced stablemate at The Curragh recently and may well be the answer ahead of promising Sandown debut fourth Corinth, who is the clear main danger. Island Bear is best of the rest.
Generally out of form last season, last time in September; bought for 55,000gns in October; good mark on old form but likely best watched on stable/seasonal debut; has had a wind op.
Successful at 7f and 1m 2f on good to firm ground, but last win was over two years ago. Beaten 7l behind Financer at 5-1 when 10th of 11 on his latest outing at Ayr over 1m 2f (good) in September last year. Having his first run for a new stable today.

Has a good record here, including sound fourth in this in 2022; back in good form lately; much depends on how this 8yo fares here on Friday (2.30), if asked to turn out again.

Off for 11 months but he was a useful, lightly-raced 2yo (two from four) and would be a contender if he's retained all of that ability and is ready for this; unraced on slower than good.
Successful at 7f and 1m on good ground. Finished 4l behind Luther when fifth of 8 at 12-1 on his latest outing at Haydock over 1m (good) in September last year.

Has won here; has been busy and very latest run of form has been a bit patchy, last time second of three in lesser grade at Beverley; others appeal more.

Gladius boasts an appealing profile with two wins from three starts, most recently making a winning handicap debut at Sandown, and the booking of William Buick is another positive. Boyfriend was far from disgraced in fourth in this grade at Newmarket and is noted, but INDALO gets the vote. Roger Varian's charge produced a career-best performance to score over a mile at Sandown recently and a 5lb rise might prove to be on the lenient side.
This is less competitive than first impressions might suggest with a good few having questions to answer on their recent form. TREASURE TIME appeals most, pitched into a lesser-contested handicap this time and having run a satisfactory race on last month's seasonal return. This 4yo could well be the type to kick on and find a bit more this season too. Unexposed 3yo Gladius is a big danger though and the clear main danger, ahead of the well-weighted if hard to win with Killybegs Warrior. Silent Film and Whip Cracker are others to consider.
