This is obviously hugely competitive and almost all of them could win it. On balance the safest option is probably BLUE RC who has been in excellent form on the all-weather, may still be progressing and is high-class. Sea Force is a significant danger. He ran creditably on his seasonal debut last time and William Haggas does have a habit of finding a bit of improvement from his horses when they contest big handicaps. At a price Rhoscolyn could go well having seemed to run quite well in a conditions race last time but he might want a bit more give than he'll get. A War Eagle strikes as a type that is better than he is allowing us to see seeming to doss a bit in front last time and he could step-up, but City Of Poets appeals more. He is progressive and very game. |

Ridden very quietly and minor late headway beaten 6l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; effective 7/8f, acts on soft, fast ground and AW; nicely weighted at best, looked a bit quirky latest and needs to be played late. |

On balance the safest option is probably BLUE RC who has been in excellent form on the all-weather, may still be progressing and is high-class. Sea Force is a significant danger. He ran creditably on his seasonal debut last time and William Haggas does have a habit of finding a bit of improvement from his horses when they contest big handicaps. At a price Rhoscolyn could go well having seemed to run quite well in a conditions race last time but he might want a bit more give than he'll get. A War Eagle strikes as a type that is better than he is allowing us to see seeming to doss a bit in front last time and he could step-up, but City Of Poets appeals more. He is progressive and very game. |

Perhaps not suited by the fast ground beaten 9 1/4l in a handicap at York last time seen in June 2025; effective 7/8f, acts on soft and good, possibly not fast ground; long absence to overcome. |

This is obviously hugely competitive and almost all of them could win it. On balance the safest option is probably BLUE RC who has been in excellent form on the all-weather, may still be progressing and is high-class. Sea Force is a significant danger. He ran creditably on his seasonal debut last time and William Haggas does have a habit of finding a bit of improvement from his horses when they contest big handicaps. At a price Rhoscolyn could go well having seemed to run quite well in a conditions race last time but he might want a bit more give than he'll get. A War Eagle strikes as a type that is better than he is allowing us to see seeming to doss a bit in front last time and he could step-up, but City Of Poets appeals more. He is progressive and very game. |

May not have handled soft ground down the field in a handicap at Ascot final start of 2025, had been in good form prior; suited by 1m, acts on good to soft and good to firm; fair mark. |

Best effort so far but looked to be keeping a bit for himself when winning a handicap by a short-head off a 3lb lower mark at Beverley last time; effective 7/8f, acts on a sound surface (likes it fast); might be capable of more than he has delivered so far. |

Ran terribly looking to need outing badly down the field in a handicap at Musselburgh on seasonal debut; suited by 7/8f, acts on any; game, mark easing and should improve from reappearance. |
