Wicked showed improvement when filling the runner-up spot at Newmarket earlier in the month and is an interesting contender off an opening mark of 80. However, VIRTUE PATIENCE was only beaten a neck into second at Kempton and is just 2lb higher. Amanda Perrett's three-year-old could have lots more to offer and has Sean Levey booked. Run With It and Moonjid are just two others to consider in an open event.
The one to appeal most is WICKED, who is on a fair opening mark and has the look of a potential improver. This type of horse doesn't always deliver of course but this colt really does have enticing paper claims, being a thrice-raced maiden from a top yard and very well bred - two of his half-brothers, St Mark's Basilica and Magna Grecia were Classic winners. Lightly-raced Run With It is next best ahead of Bulletin. Winston's Warrior is best of the rest.
Has already had six races, winning one of them, at Yarmouth last month; doesn't look up to this.

Sayidah Hard Spun justified favouritism at Kempton eight days ago and the booking of William Buick catches the eye. However, FIRST LEGION made a deeper impression when coming through the field to strike on his first outing at York earlier in the month. Richard Hannon's colt has got plenty of pace in his pedigree and could take this step up in class in his stride. The unbeaten Anthelia is another to keep an eye on.
The two to concentrate on look to be FIRST LEGION and Clear Force. The latter is respected after his clearcut Ripon win was boosted when the second improved to win a York Listed race next time but preference is still for last month's 500,000gns breeze-up purchase First Legion, who impressed with his finishing kick when a highly promising debut winner at York earlier this month. That was at 6f but he has presumably been showing plenty of pace in his home work since, hence this drop to 5f. Sayidah Hard Spun shades Anthelia for minor honours,
Below-par last time but ran to form in previous fifth in valuable Riyadh handicap; peak form would entitle him to respect and can show it in a small field too.
Winner of five races from 1m 2f to 1m 7f on good and soft ground and on the all-weather. Beaten 7l behind Dubai Future when eighth of 10 on his latest outing in the Group 2 Race 2 - Dubai Gold Cup Sponsored By Al Tayer Motors - Turf at Meydan over 2m (good) last month.

TRAWLERMAN had Al Nayyir (eighth) behind when returning to finish fifth in the Dubai Gold Cup at Meydan last month and this may prove to be an easier assignment. The Gosdens' seven-year-old is a previous Group 2 winner and sets a fair standard with an official rating of 118. Coltrane ran below par when second in a Group 3 at Ascot last month, but he has competed in much deeper contests than this and needs to be considered. Burdett Road looks next best.
Ready preference is for TRAWLERMAN, who is the clear form pick on his very solid efforts at Ascot last June (second in Gold Cup) and October and overall looks a less risky proposition than main form rivals Al Nayyir (next best) and Coltrane, who would both pose a real threat at their best but have been less than convincing of late. That said, Al Nayyir still has enough going for him to rate the main danger. Smart dual-purpose performer Burdett Road has to be respected form-wise too though his 2m Flat stamina hasn't yet been conclusively proven.
Four from four in first season on the track last year, winding up with Longchamp Gr 3 in September; this is harder for sure under a penalty but has the potential to progress again in 2025.
He has won four times from 1m to 1m 2f on ground varying from good to firm to soft. Won on his latest outing when 1-2fav in the Group 3 Prince D'Orange Stakes at ParisLongchamp over 1m 2f (soft) in September last year, beating Start Of Day by 1/2l.

OMBUDSMAN puts his unbeaten record on the line here after wins at Newmarket, Leicester, Deauville and Longchamp. As the Night Of Thunder colt was unraced as a juvenile, he could go on to even better things this year. Almaqam comes out top on official ratings and is a serious danger in receipt of 3lb from the selection. He shaped encouragingly on his return over C&D last month, while trainer Charlie Appleby can do little wrong at present and his pair of Military Order and Ancient Wisdom also deserve plenty of respect.
An open and tightly-contested renewal. ALMAQAM has leading form prospects on his sound reappearance third over C&D last month and, briefly hampered then and conceding race fitness to runner-up Ancient Wisdom, may well be able to reverse that form now and take this prize. There is a strong suspicion that Enfjaar is capable of better so with an excellent record fresh to his name too, he may be next best. William Buick has plumped for Military Order in preference to other options so this in-form 5yo may be able to claim minor honours and prove best of the rest. Ancient Wisdom has a leading form chance too though raceday rain would aid his cause.
Three from three at 7f as a 2yo, winding up with Gr 2 win at Doncaster in September; pedigree strongly suggests 1m (and beyond) will suit; probably needs a bit more to defy a penalty.
He has won three times at 7f on good to firm and good ground and on the all-weather. A winner at 9-2 in the Group 2 Betfred Champagne Stakes at Doncaster over 7f (good) on his latest outing in September last year, beating Monumental by 1/2l.

Pretty useful form for a newcomer when winning at Epsom (extended 1m) in April; this is definitely harder but unexposed and not ruled out.
Half-brother to Defoe, won nine times between 1m and 1m 5f including a Group 1 race. A winner at 13-8 at Epsom over 1m (good) on his latest outing last month, beating The King's Falcon by a neck.

Opera Ballo pulled too hard before finishing sixth in the Craven at Newmarket, but connections add a hood for the first time and we may see a much better effort. Nebras drops back in trip wearing first-time cheekpieces after his Newmarket second over 10 furlongs. He can go well with the stiff uphill finish expected to suit, but BAY CITY ROLLER could have their measure. Unbeaten after three starts including winning the Group 2 Champagne Stakes at Doncaster, he drops in class for his return to action and could be up to giving 5lb and a beating to the rest of the field.
Clear preference is for OPERA BALLO, who has leading form prospects even on a literal reading on his last-time-out sixth of nine in the Craven at Newmarket but who shaped there as open to improvement on that if racing less freely as he gains experience. A hood now may help and this promising colt can get back in the winning groove. With race fitness a possible issue and a 5lb penalty to shoulder, unbeaten Bay City Roller may be vulnerable so potential improver Jackknife (next best) and the dropped-in-trip Nebras may be bigger dangers.
Below-par when upped to 10f on Newcastle AW last time; in good form previously; ran to his then form in first of two turf starts; a contender if that last run is overlooked.
He has won three times from 6f to 1m 1f on the all-weather. Beaten 9l behind Salamanca at 12-1 when 12th of 14 on his latest outing at Newcastle over 1m 2f last month.

Yard won this last year; slowly away when down the field both starts this season; needs a significant revival and this ground poses a definite question too (may need it slower).
Winner of six races from 1m to 1m 1f on soft and heavy ground and on the all-weather. Beaten 16l behind Eldrickjones at 25-1 when 11th of 13 on his latest outing at Newcastle over 7f earlier this month.

Below-par latest and off for 10 months since; did run very well on reappearance in 2024 and trip/ground are fine but something to prove all told.
He has won four times from 1m to 1m 2f on good and good to soft ground; has also won a hurdle. Finished 8l behind Jungle Mac when sixth of 8 at 17-2 on his latest outing at Newmarket over 1m (good to firm) in July last year.

Atlantic Gamble has won six races, five over the mile, and although not at his best so far this season, he could go well under Hollie Doyle. Golden Ocean ended last season with two wins at Navan and she looks interesting on her first start for David Menuisier, but a chance is taken on WHIP CRACKER. Dropped in class after finishing ninth at Thirsk, first-time cheekpieces are tried off a 2lb lower mark and, with Ryan Moore booked to ride, he may have more going for him than it appears at first glance.
Ifs and buts about practically every runner. The suggestion is the 9yo HAFEET ALAIN, who won a nice prize on last season's seasonal debut at Newmarket and is now able to run off a 3lb lower mark here. He also has possibilities on bits and pieces of his subsequent 2024 form too. Crack Shot may be next best ahead of Smart Hero, who was in good form before 10f was possibly too far last time. Hickory's last-time-out Victoria Cup win entitles him to have a big say but this extra furlong does pose a significant question.
