Saint Lawrence
Last year's Wokingham winner and likely to be heading to Royal Ascot again in June; below par this season, fading when seventh of ten over C&D (22-1) two weeks ago; on balance he's probably best opposed again.

Make Me King
2-11; campaigned in France and UAE until today; good fourth of 14 in Meydan Group 2 (1m1f, good; 66-1) when last seen in February; should be effective back down in trip (most recent win came over this distance) but looks to have his share of weight on his handicap debut.

Quinault
One of the success stories of last season, when he won seven handicaps including two over C&D; made all under Luke Catton at Ascot in September and he was probably over the top when only tenth there on his final 3yo start; raced only on good ground or firmer on turf; will need further progress to defy his current mark but after last term's heroics he's not dismissed lightly.

Desert Cop
Poorly drawn on reappearance, then surged back to form to win 15-runner event at the Guineas meeting here (6f, good; 22-1) two weeks ago; has a chance off 5lb higher, although clearly his best form is at sprint distances.

Carrytheone
Useful for Johnny Murtagh; hasn't threatened in two runs for new stable, again missing the break when 15th in Victoria Cup at Ascot last week; his losing sequence now stretches back to September 2021, but he's beginning to slip in the weights and can't be ruled out entirely.

Imperial Fighter
0-12 for Andrew Balding since debut success at Goodwood (7f, soft) in July 2021 but he was highly tried on occasions (ran in Irish 2,000 Guineas and French Derby); interesting to see whether a change of stable sparks a revival as his mark is certainly lenient judged on his best form.

Rainbow Fire
Arrives here fit and in form after a third of nine at Haydock (7f, soft; unraced on firmer than good) three weeks ago; C&D winner earlier in career; should be in the thick of things again.

- Billy Loughnane / G Boughey

Koy Koy
Better than ever in Britain in 2023, winning over 8.6f at Wolverhampton, but he failed to make the frame in three outings at Meydan this winter; bit to prove after that, but his mark has dropped and he'd be a threat if bouncing back to his best after a ten-week break.

- Gorak
- Callum Shepherd / C Fellowes

Gorak
7f specialist; might have needed the run but still performed respectably when fourth of 15 over C&D (good) in April, making most; dropped 2lb since; solid win-and-place option.

- K Stott / C Hills

Divine Libra
Has gradually got better and his clearcut Chester success (7f, good) last week was a career-best effort; a 7lb higher mark demands still more, but he may not have reached his ceiling just yet and he shaped better than the bare result on his only go over this C&D; respected.

- Cieren Fallon / D O'meara

Summerghand
Tremendously durable 10yo with 17 wins to his name, and a well-held run at York on Wednesday must be ignored as he was badly hampered after a furlong; had earlier shaped well at the Craven meeting here in April; capable of going close off this sort of mark, although today's trip is an unknown as he has done virtually all his racing at 6f.

Quest For Fun
Finished 2023 with a 5l win on heavy ground at Catterick (7f); hasn't quite matched that form, although he faded only late on when eighth in the 1m Thirsk Hunt Cup last time and should be suited by this drop back in distance; impossible to rule out, especially if rain materialises.

Darkness
Hardly a frequent winner since coming to Britain, but he's on an attractive mark (5lb lower than when third over C&D last autumn) and shaped well when sixth of 16 over 1m at the Guineas meeting here; returning to 7f should be ideal and he won't be inconvenienced if there's rain; might be the answer.

- Final Watch
- Laura Pearson / W Stone
|
|

|
29.00 |
Final Watch
Never the slightest threat over C&D two weeks ago but he might have needed the run after seven months off and he saw plenty of daylight from a draw on the flank; often runs the Newmarket tracks well and he's 1lb lower than his last winning mark, so he makes some each-way appeal.

Chola Empire
Does most of his racing over this trip on the AW, and he notched win number three at Southwell in March; however, he seemed beaten fair and square off his revised mark at Kempton next time and now has enough to prove on turf and from out of the handicap.
