NO RETREAT has joined George Scott's yard since a successful stint in the UAE that saw him land a decent handicap on fast going at Meydan in February. The son of Siyouni has now been gelded and should prove competitive off his current mark, with the promise of much more to come. Great Chieftain resumed winning ways at Newmarket and could have a say in the outcome, despite a 6lb rise. Kindest Nation coped well with the quicker ground when third at Chester and has to be of interest too.
Great Chieftain shapes as a progressive 4yo. The gelding landed a Class 3 handicap by 2l off 83 at Newmarket last time, running on strongly, hails from an in-form yard, has an eyecatching jockey booking, acts on the ground, suits the trip and goes on a galloping track. He ticks plenty of boxes off a 6lb rise for that win on the Rowley Mile and is one of the lower-weighted runners. NO RETREAT could be up to giving weight all round. Very lightly raced, having had only six starts previously, this is another 4yo open to improvement. Beaten a neck at Meydan last time out, he returns off a break and a gelding op on this first start for George Scott. Another who ticks plenty of boxes here, he acts on the ground, gets further, has been sent off favourite on five of those six starts and goes well fresh. The gelding is yet to finish out of the first three and is bang in the mix off a 3lb rise. Dashing Darcey could outrun his price. There were excuses when denied a clear run and hampered in the Lincoln last time out and the 4yo was in good form before that. Although unproven on fast ground, his only attempt on good to firm was in the Britannia at Royal Ascot, which is easy to forgive the colt.
Ready 5 1/2l winner making all off 84 at Musselburgh on penultimate start; fourth beaten 3l off 90 in the Esher Cup last time out; runs off a 9lb higher mark than last win; possibly suit a sharper track
Successful at 7f and 1m on good and good to soft ground. Finished 3l behind Fifth Column when fourth of 8 at 7-2 on his latest outing at Sandown over 1m (good) last month.

KING CASPER won at Newmarket in fine style on his reappearance. He looks a smart prospect on that evidence and Hugo Palmer's inmate is taken to defy a hike in the weights. Teroomm shrugged off a penalty to land a novice race at Thirsk last month. The son of Iffraaj should acquit himself well now handicapping for the first time, while Dixieland Blues is also worthy of respect on his handicap and turf debut after scoring at Southwell.
King Casper travelled strongly at Newmarket last time out on handicap debut, Transparent in second, scoring readily off a mark of 81. The colt acts on the track, suits quick ground, shapes as a progressive 3yo and is a contender off a 9lb rise for that win upped in class. TEROOMM is another runner who could improve markedly on handicap debut. The Roger Varian-trained colt was sent off at odds-on when scoring in maiden and then novice company, the latter under a penalty, in April. It looks significant that his powerful connections have chosen a Class 2 event for the colt's handicap bow given Raadobarg, their 2021 winner of this race, was sent to the Britannia Stakes at Royal Ascot on his next start. Dixieland Blues is another unexposed colt with potential for improvement and must be held in some regard at home making his handicap debut in a Class 2 event. While yet to race on turf, his half-brother was a dual Group 2 winner over 8f on turf, and represents a yard that demand respect.
Was well held in the Middleton Fillies' Stakes (Group 2) at York last week; acts on the ground and not out of it on form of Nottingham Listed win in April returned to that grade
She has won three times from 7f to 1m 2f on good to firm and soft ground and on the all-weather; has also won a hurdle in October last year. Finished 14l behind See The Fire when fourth of 8 at 16-1 on her latest outing in the Group 2 Middleton Fillies' Stakes at York over 1m 2f (good to firm).

RUNNING LION is clear on official ratings and will be sharper for a recent comeback run at Newmarket. The five-year-old won the Group 2 Duke Of Cambridge Stakes in good style on fast ground at Royal Ascot last summer and will prove hard to stop with a similar effort. A Listed winner at Newbury last term, Diamond Rain returns to the fray and is likely to prove competitive, while Tasmania is one to note on her second outing for Sir Mark Prescott having won in Listed company in France in 2023.
If RUNNING LION recaptures her Prix de l'Opera (Group 2) form of last October then she will take all the beating. That is the big if for this filly, as she was frankly disappointing in the Dahlia Stakes (Group 2) on her seasonal return at Newmarket and can throw in blowout runs as well as impressive victories. Despite that, she acts on the ground, will suit the step up in trip, represents the form choice and this drop in class makes her hard to oppose. Secret Satire could outrun her price. Ahead of the selection in the Dahlia Stakes off a long absence, she's not without a chance based on last season's Musidora Stakes (Group 3) victory and Belmont Oaks Invitational Stakes (Grade 1) fifth in the States on firm ground prior to that Newmarket return. Although Diamond Rain is on a retrieval mission, the filly is very lightly raced and could post an improved effort if recapturing her early season form of last year, most notably when landing a 10f Listed event in good style at Newbury on just her second start following a winning debut.
Yard won this last year; didn't get a clear run when 1 1/4l third in Commonwealth Cup Trial Stakes (Group 3) behind Big Mojo at Ascot on return; bit to find but suits quick ground and not out of it
Successful twice at 5f on good to firm and good to soft ground. Third of 10 behind Big Mojo beaten 1 1/4l at 12-1 on his latest outing in the Group 3 eventmasters.co.uk Commonwealth Cup Trial Stakes at Ascot over 6f (good to firm) last month.

BIG MOJO (fourth) and Arizona Blaze (second) squared off in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint back in November. Both were on target in Group 3 contests last time, at Ascot and Chantilly respectively, but the former can come out on top this time round. Mill Reef winner Powerful Glory merits the utmost respect as he bids to defend his unbeaten record now returning from a 245-day absence. Ain't Nobody and Symbol Of Honour are just two others to consider in what looks to be a fiercely competitive renewal.
A fascinating renewal of the Betfred Sandy Lane Stakes can go to ARIZONA BLAZE. The selection was impressive when comfortably winning the Prix Sigy (Group 3) at Chantilly over an extended 5f last time out on good to soft, but is versatile trip-wise and going-wise, as he showed when a close-up second in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint (Grade 1) over 5f on firm ground at Del Mar last season, and holds strong claims on this return to 6f. Symbol Of Honour travelled strongly when winning the Carnarvon Stakes (Listed) over 6f at Newbury by 2l last week. The gelding acts on the ground, is progressive and rates as a major player from this powerful yard. Big Mojo is an admirably consistent Group-winning sprinter who landed a second Group 3 win on his seasonal return following a wind op. Both wins have come on good to firm and the colt showed his penchant for quick ground when a close-up fourth in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint (Grade 1), Arizona Blaze in second, last season. Powerful Glory, the unbeaten winner of the Mill Reef Stakes (Group 2) on just his second start, goes well fresh and this colt is respected on just his third start.
Down the field in Hong Kong Sprint (Group 1) over 6f at Sha Tin when last seen; back down to ideal trip on this return; the only Grade 1 winner in the field; bang in the mix if fully primed for this return
Winner of six races from 5f to 6f on good and good to soft ground and on the all-weather. Beaten 16l behind Ka Ying Rising when 13th of 14 on his latest outing in the Group 1 The Longines Hong Kong Sprint - Group 1 at Sha Tin over 6f (good) in December last year.

Rumstar produced a career-best performance when defeating She's Quality in the Palace House at Newmarket and Jonathan Portman's charge may have more in the tank, but it is AMERICAN AFFAIR who gets the vote. The five-year-old has been on an upward trajectory for some time now - his recent York triumph providing yet more evidence of that - and a first foray into Group company looks well worth exploring. Starlust struggled in the Hong Kong Sprint when last seen, but the Breeders' Cup hero is likely to be a real threat in these calmer waters.
Starlust is the sole Grade 1 winner in the field, having won the Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint at Del Mar last season, and is a major player on seasonal return back over his ideal trip. The obvious concern is the colt carries a penalty for that win, and with Group 1 prizes to contend for at Royal Ascot and at the July meeting at Newmarket, this race may just be needed with those engagements to come. RUMSTAR travelled and then ran on strongly when taking the Palace House Stakes (Group 3) at Newmarket last time out, with three of today's rivals behind him. The 5yo looked an improved performer on the Rowley Mile and can underline that impression here. Faster ground should not be an issue as he is a previous winner on good to firm and handled it in the 2023 Commonwealth Cup (Group 1). Mgheera posted an improved effort when winning Prix de Saint-Georges (Group 3) at Longchamp last time out on her first start for the yard. She's yet to race on good to firm but was a Listed winner on good ground. American Affair is an interesting contender on this Group debut. The 5yo won with a bit in hand in a Class 2 handicap at York last week, looks progressive and his trainer believes he's Group class. That's feasible, and while it may just take a couple of runs in this grade to confirm that impression, it would be no surprise to see another improved performance.

Beaten 4l in a novice at Newcastle when last seen; unproven on fast ground but handled good ground on debut; bit to find but gelded since and worth a market check on handicap debut
A winner at 6f on the all-weather. Finished 4l behind Shiplake when fourth of 7 at 4-1 on his latest outing at Newcastle over 6f in November last year.

Maelstrom has to be respected following two victories in April, but he will need to find further improvement now 6lb higher than for his C&D success. With that in mind, preference is for PERSIAN SPIRIT, who made a winning handicap/seasonal debut at Kempton recently and her rider's claim negates a 2lb rise. The Flying Seagull edges out Easy Peeler and Dan Tucker to be best of the rest.
MAELSTROM has been heavily backed when landing back-to-back handicaps this season, the last over C&D off 74 here last time. The William Haggas-trained colt looks a progressive 3yo and, with the prospect of more to come, a 6lb rise and a step up in class may not be enough to stop his upward curve. Although The Flying Seagull was unable to overcome a poor draw at the Chester May Meeting last time out, the gelding acts on quick ground and is in the mix judged on the form of his close-up second at Lingfield on All-Weather Championship Day. Dan Tucker travelled well when winning an Ayr maiden cosily last time out, acts on the ground and holds potential for improvement on this handicap debut. Tried in Listed company as a juvenile, soft ground and that class hike did for him there, but 79 looks a feasible mark. Don Pacifico was well held last time out at Southwell and makes his turf debut here, but has possibilities down in class after troubled passage on his penultimate start at Newcastle on Championship Day.
Down the field in the Prix Denisy (Listed) over 1m7f at Fontainebleau on final start last season; usually consistent; trainer in form; stamina not an issue; could contend down in grade if handling quick ground
She has won three times from 1m 2f to 2m 2f on good to soft and soft ground. Beaten 17l behind Bel Et Bien at 15-8fav when last of 9 on her latest outing at Fontainebleau over 1m 7f (heavy) in November last year.

CABALLO DE MAR's winning run came to an end when second in the Chester Cup but that was still a career-best effort and the progressive four-year-old can return to winning ways in this company, despite being 5lb higher. Gibside lifted the Chester Plate at the same meeting on the Roodee, but was behind the selection on his two starts immediately prior to that. Align The Stars has disappointed the last twice but it is too soon to be writing him off.
Progressive stayer CABALLO DE MAR was second, beaten just a length off 88 in the Chester Cup last time out. The step back in trip is not an issue as the 4yo was well backed when scoring over an extended 16f at Southwell before that Chester run, is proven on the ground and can continue in his rich vein of form of a 5lb rise. Sheradann can be forgiven a below-form effort on his seasonal return. The 5yo was in good form prior to that in Class 2 events, will suit the step up in trip and handles quick ground. Oxford Comma, the only filly in the race, was down the field in the Prix Denisy (Listed) over 1m7f on her final start last season, but showed stamina is not an issue when winning a Class 2 conditions race at Pontefract over 2m2f prior to that. Trainer Ralph Beckett is in good form and the filly could contend back down in grade if handling quick ground.
