KING'S CROWN scored tenaciously at Thirsk on his penultimate start and is unlucky not to be coming into this bidding for a hat-trick after another bold showing when second at Pontefract. Nudged up 2lb, the son of Starspangledbanner won't need much of a step forward to gain another win. His stable companion Midnight Lir also appeals after bursting back into life at Beverley. The in-form Level Up and less-exposed Money Pockets are others of note.
KING'S CROWN was a well-fancied winner at Thirsk on his penultimate start, where he just got the better of Match Play by a neck in the end, but he was always keeping on well and looked like the winner from a furlong out or so. He has since come 2nd, this time at Pontefract, and was probably a shade unlucky in that contest. He is 2 lb higher in the weights from last time and 6 lb higher than when he won two starts ago, which is a fair hike; however, given the fact he is in great form at present, he is the one to beat here. Level Up is another one in form at present; with two wins and two 2nds in his last 4 runs, he can land a blow here. And Midnight Lir looks like he is on a decent enough mark these days; however, he might have to settle with filling the places here behind two in-form rivals in this contest.

The 70-rated Galileo Island sets the standard and is noteworthy after an improved effort when third at Kempton. Homestrait, who has filled the runner-up berth in each of her four previous starts, also rates a key player based on reliability. However, the bar isn't set very high and RELIABLE RICKI, who is a full-brother to Listed 6f winner Wren's Breath, is forwarded as a more appealing option give he debuts for a yard very capable of having one ready first time up.
HOMESTRAIT has yet to win in four career starts as yet; however, she has come 2nd on all four of those runs. Now you could question her ability to actually want to get her head in front; however, she has always seemed to bump into a well-touted first-time-out runner, and with no real standout debutant in this, she can finally get her head in front at the fifth time of asking. Galileo Island has come on with each passing run; he has come 3rd on his last two starts, and although he might not be able to win this here, a 2nd under his belt before eventually winning further down the line could be on the cards for the Marco Botti runner. And Ibn Altheeb was a decent enough 2nd on debut; he did disappoint at Newcastle last time but was probably drawn on the wrong side of the track and does prefer turf underfoot. He can run well and get another place to his name in this contest.
Raced a bit too freely when beaten by 3 lengths off the mark of 64 over 8 furlongs at Ripon last time out; 3lb's higher than last winning mark; has been running well lately but might need a career best to land this
Successful at 6f and 1m on good to firm ground. Beaten 3l by Thats My Boy Luke when second of 10 at 13-2 on his latest outing at Ripon over 1m (good) earlier this month.

Last-time winners Mark's Choice and Grand Citadel have reasonable credentials, although the former seems to reserve his best for Ripon, while the it took the latter 12 attempts to get off the mark and back-to-back victories carries risk. With those elements in mind, it might pay to focus on HIGHFIELD VIKING, who is a previous course scorer and is 1lb below his most recent winning rating. Mayo County and Danzart could also have a say.
GRAND CITADEL was zero for eleven before her last run; however, she managed to finally get her head in front, and she did it in pretty good fashion in the end. Taking a keen hold throughout the contest, she did hang right with a few furlongs to go but did respond nicely when pushed along in the closing stages to keep on well and win going away by just under 3 lengths in the end. A 6 lb raise in the weights to deal with might not stop here now that she has gotten her head in front for the very first time. Highfield Viking has been in pretty good form lately and looks like he could strike very soon; however, he might have to settle for a place here behind a potentially progressive sort. And Mark's Choice was a winner last time out and has plenty of experience to boot; however, he might have to settle with filling the places in a race like this.
Ridden out, but probably improved again upped 4lb when scoring by 2 and a 1/4 lengths off the mark of 59 at Redcar on penultimate start; suited by 7 furlongs and fast ground; worth another chance off current mark here

TRAVIS indicated a return to winning ways was imminent when finishing a close fourth at Redcar and he duly obliged when scoring at Thirsk on his latest start. Geoffrey Harker's charge remains on a nice mark, despite a 2lb rise, and another bold bid is anticipated in this lower grade. Amayretto can't be written off back at this level having landed a double at the start of the season, while Lumenbourg could also land a blow.
TRAVIS has the added addition of Hollie Doyle booked here, which is great for his chances of making it back-to-back victories for the very first time in his career. A game winner at Thirsk last time out when beating Arantes Nascimento by a head, he was doing it all wrong during the race but still managed to stay on well and get his head in front. With just a 2 lb raise in the weights to deal with here, and with Hollie booked, he can go in once again. Lumenbourg has been in terrific form since winning at Southwell back in February; he has since placed on three out of his next four runs. He will no doubt run well here but might have to settle with the silver medal. And Reginald Charles can back up his win from March and fill the places here, which will be a good run as he looks to bounce back to form here.

SIR WILLIAM hasn't been too far away of late and finished third in a higher-grade contest at Thirsk last time on his first start over this distance. He should prove competitive eased a further 2lb in the weights and the son of Night Of Thunder gets the vote. Mdawi made a promising handicap debut when dead-heating for second at Haydock and could launch another strong challenge. Phrygia debuts on turf with a shout after scoring nicely at Kempton.
JET BLACK was a beaten favourite at Windsor last time but was hanging left in the closing stages, which was ultimately the crucial stage of the contest. She was a winner at Redcar the time before that when sent off as the odds-on favourite in the end, making all to win by a little over a length in the end, with the 2nd place horse that day coming out and winning since. She does things her own way, but when it all clicks, she is a talented filly who can win a race of this nature. Upped 1 lb in the weights from last time; that seems fair, and she can take advantage of that here. Sir William is another keen-going sort who would need to settle better here, but given his stable and the great form they are in at present, it is completely possible that he puts it all together and runs well here. And Mdawi, who looks a nice sort for the Johnston yard, can run well here and fill the places in this race.

OPERATION GIMCRACK has to be of interest after a creditable second at Beverley on his seasonal debut. That outing will likely have brought him on a good deal and Bryan Smart's charge looks on a workable mark. Shaws Phoenix posted her best effort for some time when third at Yarmouth and she could have a say in proceedings. Copper And Five, a winner at Beverley in May, will appreciate a return to fast ground.
OPERATION GIMCRACK was a very good 2nd at Beverley last time when having his first run for going on 9 months; it was clear he was fit and ready to go that day, which will set him in good stead here as he will look to go one better. He is yet to win in his short career; however, he looks the sort to be getting better with age, and if he can back up that very good 2nd from last time, he will be hard to peg back here. Copper And Five is at the opposite end of the scale compared to Operation Gimcrack; the Ruth Carr horse has plenty of experience under his belt and has been running pretty well lately. A winner back in May, he was a good enough 4th last time out. He might have to settle with a place here, however. And Shaws Phoenix is yet to win in twelve career starts; however, she ran well last time out when coming 3rd, so she might have to settle with filling the places once again in this.

Looked unenthusiastic when beaten by 9 lengths in a handicap over 8 furlongs at Carlisle last time out; enjoys making it during his races; probably best watched on this occasion
Winner of six races from 7f to 1m on ground varying from good to firm to soft and on the all-weather. Beaten 9l behind On The River at 10-1 when 10th of 16 on his latest outing at Carlisle over 1m (soft) last month.

David O'Meara won this last year and will be looking for a big run from Lord Bertie, fifth off this mark over C&D last month on only his second start of the season. Sterling Knight is another to consider after five top-four finishes in a row, but GRAND TRAVERSE get the vote. A winner last time out over track and trip, he has only been put up 1lb and may have more improvement to come on his third start after over a year off.
GRAND TRAVERSE has won three out of his nine career runs so far, which includes a victory over course and distance last time out at Doncaster. He has just the pound raise in weights to deal with here, and with conditions very much in his favour, just like last time, he can go in again and land another pretty valuable Doncaster contest here. Catalyse was a nice winner on debut at Hamilton back in June 2024 before going on to come 2nd at Ayr when unlucky in running and hampered with 2 furlongs to go. He has since had the gelding operation done, and with a run under his belt already (when coming 8th of nine runners at Chester), he is sure to come on for the run here. And Yanifer has to carry top weight here but was a decent 2nd last time out; he can fill the places once again.
Dual purpose horse; ran to form when coming fourth and beaten by 4 and a 1/4 lengths in a handicap at Nottingham latest; returning from a long 255 day layoff; decent in his day but up against it now
Winner of five races from 1m 3f to 2m 4f on ground varying from good to firm to good to soft, but last win was over six years ago. Finished 4 1/2l behind Coquelicot when fourth of 10 at 14-1 on his latest outing at Nottingham over 2m (soft) in November last year. Having his first run for a new stable today.

Belgravian is a previous course winner and although beaten two lengths at Chelmsford last time out, he could get involved now stepping up in trip. The Grand Visir has won off far higher marks in the past but is having his first start of the season at the age of 11, and ANALOGICAL could be the one. Sir Mark Prescott is a master of improving horses as they rise in distance and after a neck triumph at Pontefract over 1m4f, we could see a different horse over the two miles-plus.
ANALOGICAL has been in cracking form to kick-start his season, with a win at Beverley when he was the odds-on favourite, before going on to come 2nd at Redcar and Doncaster on his next two starts. He was a very game winner of a similar handicap contest as this at Pontefract last time out when making all and just doing enough in the finish. He is the typical Sir Mark Prescott horse who will improve with each passing run at this sort of trip. With a 6 lb raise in the weights to deal with here, he will need a career best to win this, but it is entirely possible given the nature of the yard's horses. Belgravian only has the one win in six career runs but looks the sort who can come on with each run over this sort of trip. And Kentucky River will no doubt appreciate this sort of trip but might have to settle with filling the places in this.
