Karl Burke has won the last two renewals and HANKELOW may well bounce back to form. Not at his best since finishing a terrific third in the French Guineas back in May, the son of Night Of Thunder should relish this return to a mile on soft ground and is taken to edge out Dancing Gemini, who has solid claims on his fourth in the Lockinge back in May. Persica cannot be left out of calculations, and the unexposed Needle Match merits a second look.
Top Tip:
Hankelow
(7)
Watch out for:
Dancing Gemini
(2)
A fascinating contest with horses bringing different profiles. The class angle in the race is Dancing Gemini a former French Guineas runner up who has raced solely at higher levels than this since last spring. He has been struggling this year but the Group 2 winner could bounce back down in class. He does however have some doubts surrounding the ground unlike the least exposed in the field Needle Match whose sole victory so far has come on soft. He may ideally want a bit further than this in time but he's already proven himself up to this level with the form of his Desmond Stakes second franked in the Yorkshire Oaks. He is greatly respected but the solid selection is PERSICA who has proven admirably consistent in this grade all year. The dual Group 3 winner is proven with plenty of cut in the ground and he was left with plenty to do in the Strensall last time. If ridden slightly more positively here he can gain a deserved victory.

To give you a quick snapshot of each horse’s form we’ve introduced the following icons which represent the following:
You can gain more information by hovering your mouse over the horse name or icons.
Boasting an official rating of 101, Rocket Boy has a leading chance after finishing a close third in Listed company at Salisbury. Saying that, FIRST LAW has given every indication he can take this step up in class in his stride. Charlie Appleby's colt showed signs of inexperience when making a winning debut at Sandown and the Dewhurst entrant should be a lot wiser with that outing under his belt. Arthurian and Rafe's da Man make most appeal of the remainder.
Top Tip:
First Law
(2)
Watch out for:
Rocket Boy
(4)
A pair of standouts on form in Rocket Boy and FIRST LAW. The former sets the standard on his latest Stonehenge run where he finished powerfully suggesting that he may be better over further in time. The latter did very well to win first time out after showing plenty of greenness and is open to plenty of improvement for his top connections. He's bred to handle this testing ground and is picked ahead of recent Goodwood winner Rafe's da Man who boasts an experience edge and a beating of Arthurian.

To give you a quick snapshot of each horse’s form we’ve introduced the following icons which represent the following:
You can gain more information by hovering your mouse over the horse name or icons.
Galilean Quality won at Ascot prior to finishing runner-up in the Melrose and looks sure to have a say in proceedings on the strength of that form. Things failed to go to plan for Mythical Bay in that York contest, having looked highly progressive before it, and he could be in the mix but a chance is taken on PIERRE GROSSE. The son of Palace Pier was narrowly beaten in the Ulster Derby when last seen on soft ground and another bold bid is anticipated from Jessica Harrington's charge.
Top Tip:
Pierre Grosse
(3)
Watch out for:
Galilean Quality
(1)
Karl Burke holds a strong hand here with GALILEAN QUALITY and Asia Force. The latter was an easy winner under an aggressive when upped to this trip last time but this is much tougher and he does need to prove his effectiveness on a testing surface. It is notable that Clifford Lee sticks with the top weight after his runner up effort in the Melrose where he conceded first run having met trouble. He remains ahead of his mark despite a further 5lb rise and is a soft ground winner so should handle conditions. He is the selection but at a bigger price Pierre Grosse is picked to complete the tricast. He was unsuited by the way the race developed in the Shergar Cup last time but his Irish form has worked out well making the maiden look on a workable mark. He is proven in testing conditions and has long shaped like a stayer so is a likely improver now stepping up in trip.

To give you a quick snapshot of each horse’s form we’ve introduced the following icons which represent the following:
You can gain more information by hovering your mouse over the horse name or icons.
William Haggas has trained two of the last three winners of this and is back for more with Finalise, third in a Listed race in Germany on her only start of the season and open to improvement back in handicap company. However, AEGEAN PRINCE has won two of his four starts, with an impressive Ascot victory last October followed by a Listed second at Deauville, and he should have more to offer now upped in trip on his comeback. Dancing In Paris and Hermetic are others to consider.
Top Tip:
Aegean Prince
(1)
Watch out for:
Finalise
(7)
William Haggas took this last year and could dominate again with his pair of fillies. FINALISE looks the obvious choice after a solid run in a strong German Listed contest last time where he was given too much to do after missing the break ridden to see out the trip. She's entitled to come on for that outing and is potentially thrown in returned to handicaps with the easier ground a likely plus judged on her breeding. Stablemate Kissmehoneyhoney is also of interest at a much bigger price with her maiden form franked at Listed level. Her opening mark looks lenient and she shaped as if in need of staying trips over 11f last time. It's notable that she was withdrawn at Goodwood last week when the rain failed to materialise so she should enjoy conditions here. The unexposed Aegean Prince is 2-4 in his short career and is also on a workable mark judged on his Listed form. However taking this off top weight after such a huge absence looks a tough ask and consistent C&D winner Pole Star is preferred for the final place on the podium in first time cheekpieces.

To give you a quick snapshot of each horse’s form we’ve introduced the following icons which represent the following:
You can gain more information by hovering your mouse over the horse name or icons.
Softer ground might be an issue for some, although Kind Of Blue landed the British Champions Sprint at Ascot on a rain-affected surface in 2024 and has been supported to get back to winning ways. Big Mojo beat Kind Of Blue in this last season and is reportedly in fine fettle, but all his successes have been on a faster surface and ALMERAQ is narrowly preferred. He has winning form with cut in the ground, can be forgiven his ninth in the July Cup when not at his best, and is officially the best horse in the field.
Royal Ascot winner Almeraq has seen his form franked in the July Cup and the Lennox Stakes. He sets a clear standard and although he needs to put his Newmarket disappointment behind him he had proven hugely progressive prior to that so could get back on track returned to a softer surface. However the ease in the ground will suit a couple of his opponents such PABORUS who made an impressive reappearance in the Chipchase. He ran well for a long way in the City Of York last time but didn't stay 7f under an aggressive ride. He's had his issues but remains relatively lightly raced and is worth another go at the top level back over his optimum trip. He is chosen ahead of Group 1 winner Kind Of Blue who will also enjoy conditions and has finished runner up in the last couple of renewals of this. Marvelman finished ahead of the selection last time so would also be dangerous if allowed to dictate down in trip. Hungerford winner Coppull probably hasn't finished improving either but he does need to prove his effectiveness on soft ground.

To give you a quick snapshot of each horse’s form we’ve introduced the following icons which represent the following:
You can gain more information by hovering your mouse over the horse name or icons.
Mick Appleby knows the sort needed to win this and he runs Arklow Lad, winner of the 'Dash' at Epsom in June but last of 11 at Hamilton last month. He must not be written off just yet but TRILBY has won eight times, the vast majority on a softer surface, and an added 3lb for last week's success at Beverley may not stop a follow-up. Elara May and Black Star Boy could battle it out for minor money.
Top Tip:
Trilby

Watch out for:
Arklow Lad
(3)
Novice winner POATAN was a touch unlucky at Listed level on his reappearance and is excused his midfield effort on his handicap debut at York where he was poorly placed behind an all the way winner. He's bred to handle this softer surface and is picked to defy top weight at the expense of recent winner Toyotomi who was given too much to do last time. That rival has shown his best form on a testing surface and remains well treated on his old French efforts. Sturlasson was in good form until his last run and is another who is proven with plenty of cut in the ground. He is on a fair mark on his best form and can also make his presence felt.

To give you a quick snapshot of each horse’s form we’ve introduced the following icons which represent the following:
You can gain more information by hovering your mouse over the horse name or icons.
BRIAN proved much more competitive when finishing second to a subsequent winner at Newbury and he makes plenty of appeal off an unaltered mark. Moreover, the four-year-old enjoys cut in the ground so conditions look ideal. Monday's Epsom runner-up Rhoscolyn clearly retains plenty of ability and a 2lb lower figure makes him a live threat, while Brighton Boy should appreciate a return to this trip.
In testing conditions those with soft and heavy ground form are the ones to side with. Veteran Rhoscolyn will relish conditions and is a stone below its last winning mark despite returning to form last time. He is greatly respected but the consistent ATA RANGI is marginally preferred having run a solid race on ground much quicker than ideal last time at Ascot. This is a much weaker contest and he can repeat last year's success off a 4lb higher mark continuing his good course record. Top weight Brian hasn't won in a while but he proved his stamina last time when returning to form off a much reduced mark and he can also play a part.

Ran to form but too much to do having missed the break beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark at Kempton last time; effective at 8f, best suited by stiff 7f, acts with plenty of give and on good and AW; back below last winning mark, not one to rely on building on latest.

Having gained compensation for a string of creditable efforts in defeat when scoring in style at Thirsk, Military Leader is dangerous to dismiss. That said, a 9lb hike could be enough to anchor the five-year-old, with CROWN OFFICE taken to benefit. William Haggas' gelding found only a subsequent winner too strong on his most recent outing at Nottingham and a second career victory may beckon. The Sweet Escape arrives at the top of his game and completes the shortlist.
Top Tip:
Crown Office
(8)
Watch out for:
Military Leader
(4)
CROWN OFFICE is a strong selection here. He conceded first run to a progressive rival who has followed up last time when ridden to see out the 10f trip and can make amends off 2lb higher. His sole victory has come on soft so the ground is no issue and the drop back in trip could suit. Veteran Metal Merchant has tumbled down the weight and has hinted at a revival on his last couple of starts. He could build on those back up in distance as he has proven himself on heavy ground in the past. The consistent Jungle Ruler has yet to encounter ground this testing but if coping with it he can fill the places.
