6/4
Smart gelding who resumed winning ways on the back of a wind op at Meydan (12f) in January. Remained in form since, not seen to best effect back on these shores in race that favoured speed over stamina when fifth in Ormonde Stakes 2 weeks ago. Player with tongue tie refitted.

9/2
Runner-up in this race 12 months ago and dispelled trio of lesser efforts thereafter with success on final start at Newmarket (2m, listed) in September. Not at best on latest outing in Group 3 Sagaro Stakes on latest run 3 weeks ago but not out of things on pick of his form.

7/5
Low-mileage 6-y-o who confirmed he retains ability on back of 13 months off when third in 5-runner AW minor event (16.5f) at Wolverhampton in March. Equally effective on turf and fancied to give a good account.

10/1
Very capable performer when on-song and probably best not to read too much into his reverses at Kempton since returning from 10 months in February (wasn't seen to best effect on either occasion). Whether this will be run to suit is open to question, however.

50/1
Fair staying performer who doubled career tally at Deauville (16.9f) in January prior to good second in minor event at Chantilly (13.4f) a month later. Not in same form at Longchamp on latest outing and work cut out on these terms upped markedly in class.

Roberto Escobarr (7/5), Enemy (6/4), Nate The Great (9/2), Sleeping Lion (10/1), Princess Anne (50/1)

19:12 Sandown - 25 May 2023 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

ENEMY seemed unsuited by the way the race developed when fifth in the Ormonde Stakes at Chester 2 weeks ago but holds sound claims on these terms and gets the nod to get back on track. Nate The Great (runner-up 12 months ago) needs to shrug off a lesser effort at Ascot earlier this month but could bounce back if granted his own way in front. Low-mileage Roberto Escobarr can also get involved.
