Love Dynasty has her first start for Kevin Ryan and arrives unbeaten, but she hasn't been seen since October 2024 and a win here would be a big ask. William Haggas has taken three of the last eight renewals and has a lively contender in Nardra, but FLIGHT could be worth another chance. Second in the 1000 Guineas, she has failed to go on from there but the drop back in trip might be a source of improvement.
A listed winner at Deauville back in July, BRIGHT THUNDER backed that up with a 3rd in a Group 3 at Goodwood as well as a 2nd place finish in the same grade at Doncaster last time out. Not beaten that far at all last time out; that was in Group company. Therefore, dropping back into Listed company for the first time in three runs, she can get her head back in front for the in-form Karl Burke team. Miss Nightfall is yet to win this season but has run well in some pretty good contests this season and was not beaten all that far at Doncaster last time out. She is sure to run well again now back down in class and could be the one to push Bright Thunder all the way. And Flight showed plenty of promise as a 2yo; yet to show much this season, she did come 2nd in the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket in May.

Kassaya drops back in trip after failing to place on her two starts over further, and it could play to her strengths here if they go quick. Woolhampton has a bit to find but has four C&D wins to her name, though this ought to be all about BEAUTIFUL DIAMOND. She won easily at Ayr last month at this level, finished second in this race last year and looks primed for a big effort on only her third start of the season.
Winner of the Scottish Sprint Stakes at Ayr last time out, BEAUTIFUL DIAMOND comes into this in very good form after landing that Listed contest by an easy 2 and a half lengths. 2nd in this contest last season, she was beaten by an in-form horse that day, and with everything in her favour for the contest this year, she is the one they have to beat. It could be a very good start to the card for Karl Burke and Clifford Lee. Shagraan won the Beverley Bullet two starts ago, bolting up by a decent 2 and a quarter lengths in the end. 2nd in a Group 3 last time out, he is in really good form at present and can push the Karl Burke filly all the way. And Cover Up won a very classy handicap contest at this venue back in July; coming 4th in a Group 3 at Newbury last time out is good form, and now down in class he can run well but might have to settle with filling the places for connections.

The weather will be all important for HAMISH with his best form coming on ground with plenty of give in it, but he has won on a quicker surface in the past, took this race in 2022 and arrives after two winning starts this season. Al Qareem won this last year and in 2023 and can be forgiven recent efforts in better company, so looks a bigger danger than Military Academy.
Getting 3 lbs off his main rival here, HAMISH has been in remarkable form once again this season. Although he has just run twice, he won a Listed contest at Goodwood back in June before going on to win at that level once again at Chester. The old boy won this back in 2022 and comes up against the 2023 and 2024 winner, Al Qareem, who is sure to push him all the way. The William Haggas horse will appreciate any rain, and if the ground comes up on the softer side of good, he can continue his good form and land this contest. Al Qareem has also been in good form this season, winning multiple Listed races as well as a Group 3 at York in July and a 3rd in the Irish St Leger last time out. He can continue his good form and do battle with his old rival Hamish once again. And Sir Dinadan gets the age allowance in terms of weight here, and he has been running well at this sort of level and trip. He can go well here but might have to settle with filling the places for connections.

APOLLO ONE returned to form when storming home late to finish second in the Portland at Doncaster last month, and that should have him primed for retaining this Group 3. Jockey Paul Mulrennan is often a dab hand on sprinters and the seven-year-old may have too much for progressive C&D winner Prince Of India, who is taken to make up a length with the reopposing Elmonjed (first) from their meeting at York. Winner of this contest in 2023, Annaf completes the shortlist.
ELMONJED was a very game winner of the Listed Garrowby Stakes at York last time out, always running on nicely in the closing stages and winning the contest better than the head winning margin would suggest. He takes this step up into Group company for the first time this season, which should pose no threats for him given the form he is in at present. Quinault has become a real stable star for the Stuart Williams team, with his front-running displays and the fact he went from low-handicap company to this sort of company in just a few seasons. A winner of a Group 3 at York back in June, he can run his usual brilliant race and push the field all the way to the line. And Celandine was a winner of a Group 2 as a 2-year-old last season; placing at Listed level this season, she is yet to win but can run well here and claim another place finish.

Hampered under pressure and below form, beaten 3 1/4l off 93 at Newbury last time; suited by 7f, probably best on a sound surface; slightly below peak form recently.

NATIVE WARRIOR was value for much more than the winning margin when scoring in a similar handicap over C&D last month, and an 8lb rise could underestimate him. Old rival Great Acclaim (second), who has less than two lengths to make up, must enter calculations again, along with Hickory, who has scored on two of his last three starts here. Irish raider Rahmi has a hefty 9lb rise to overcome for his Leopardstown win but is another to bear in mind.
GREAT ACCLAIM has been in good form this season, winning a hugely competitive handicap contest at Glorious Goodwood back in July; he then backed that up with another win, this time at Chepstow in a smaller field than the previous one. He then went on to come 2nd in his next two runs, once at Goodwood in August as well as at this venue last month when coming 2nd out of 20 runners in a hugely competitive field. A similar run like that here, and then he can get his head back in front and land another valuable handicap contest. Native Warrior landed the contest that Great Acclaim came 2nd in last time; now carrying more weight than his rival last time, the Karl Burke horse might find it difficult to not have the form reversed here. And Purosangue always runs well in these sorts of races when mixing it up in them; he can go well here and fill the places for his in-form connections.
Made too much use of on soft ground when beaten 5l in the Ayr Gold Cup over 6f at Ayr last time. Effective at 5f and 6f, suited by a sound surface, though slightly below form recently.

A significant eye-catcher when keeping on well from the off the pace to grab third in the Portland last month, ROSARIO looks the one to be with in this competitive handicap, despite being winless in three starts here. Roger Teal's charge gets the vote ahead of capable C&D winner Rhythm N Hooves and King Of Light, who is turned out again quickly after a taking success at Haydock last Saturday. Glamorous Breeze and Roach Power complete the shortlist.
ROACH POWER creeps into this off a pretty low weight, and given the nature of his form at present, he is sure to run very well here. A win at Chepstow off the mark of 59 back in July, he has since gone up to a rating of 74 and still won with absolute ease last time out despite being at his highest rating since early 2024. A 4 and three-quarter length victory at Ffos-Las last time out; any rain will be greatly appreciated as he looks to put in his best performance in his career so far. Rhythm N Hooves was a winner at Newbury back in August; now just 4 lbs higher in the weights, he is sure to go well here at a course he has won at previously, as well as placing a few times in some decent contests. And Glamorous Breeze can continue her good form from the all-weather onto the turf here; she won at Lingfield on her penultimate start, and then she placed in a handicap contest at the same venue last time out. In good form, she can run well here but might have to settle for another 3rd place finish.
