Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J Ferguson| OR: 108| D

25/1

Been in fine form on AW, drawing clear to land good 2m Newcastle handicap on Good Friday. Folded upped in class/trip in Ascot Gold Cup latest and this will be a far better guide as to his level on turf.

Form: 31-211P

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: J P Spencer| T: N J Henderson| OR: 105

33/1

Very useful at up to 15f in France for Andre Fabre, including a couple of listed wins. Sold for 220,000 gns in January and may have needed outing when last of 5 at this course (12f, good to soft) on UK debut 55 days ago. Switches to handicaps now but others look better treated.

Form: 12622-5

Subsequent²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding| OR: 104| D

28/1

Progressive sort last term, suited by the step up to this sort of trip last autumn, signing off with an Ascot listed success. Below par on belated return at York last month, though, and others appeal more.

Form: 15121-6

Stressfree²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: P Mulrennan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 101

25/1

Hurdles winner in February and has continued the good work in this sphere, posting several creditable efforts in defeat prior to striking at Haydock (11.8f) in May. Shaped as if still in good form when fifth of 14 over same C&D (good) latest and remains feasibly treated.

Form: 432105

Artistic Star¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett| OR: 99| BF

12/1

Not beaten far when second of 4 in handicap (13/8) at Newbury (16.5f, good to firm) 14 days ago but hasn't scored since his debut victory in May 2023. Others more convincing.

Form: 47-7402

(11)

Barnso⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: D Egan| T: A King| OR: 99

11/1

Ran right up to best when creditable fourth of 16 in handicap (14/1) at Royal Ascot (14.2f, good to firm) 46 days ago. Since joined Alan King and is worth monitoring in the market on yard debut.

Form: 235-444

(6)

Duraji⁶⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: R L Moore| T: D K Weld| OR: 98

12/1

Ran poorly latest but was far from disgraced behind Kyprios at Leopardstown previously and Ryan Moore is an eye-catching booking for his handicap debut.

Form: 21-658

(13)

French Duke^h⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: James Doyle| T: R Varian| OR: 98| C

6/1

Won at this meeting (12f) last term before good second in Ascot handicap on final start of campaign. Not ideally placed when respectable eighth of 18 in handicap at Royal Ascot (12f, good to firm) on return and looks well worth a crack at this longer trip.

Form: 4/2612-8

(2)

Feigning Madness⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: H Crouch| T: R M Beckett| OR: 97

12/1

Two from 2 as a juvenile and lightly raced since, Far from disgraced despite finishing last of 4 in Sagaro Stakes at Ascot on penultimate start and may not have been suited by extreme trip over same course latest. Others appeal more though.

Form: 1/54-440

(3)

Aeronautic^t⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Colin Keane| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 96

11/2

Looked a smart prospect last year when winning maiden (10.7f) and minor event (12.8f) last summer and back to that sort of form when good fifth of 16 in handicap at Royal Ascot (14.2f, good to firm) 46 days ago. Likely contender.

Form: 5114-05

(12)

Master Builder⁷⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: W Buick| T: D Menuisier| OR: 94| D

15/2

Dual winner (at up to 14f) last season who has run with credit in both starts this term, latest when fourth of 8 in handicap over C&D (good, 4/1) 70 days ago. 1 lb lower now and ought to give another good account.

Form: 3130-24

(9)

Dancing In Paris²²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: Saffie Osborne| T: Ian Williams| OR: 92| BF| D

6/1

Three-time winner last term who produced a career best when narrowly denied in Northumberland Plate (16.3f) at Newcastle in June. Wasn't in same form at Newmarket latest but could well bounce back here.

Form: 13-4328

(8)

Sam Hawkens⁴⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 92

4/1

Upped his game in recent starts, winning back-to-back handicaps at Newcastle (12.5f) and Hamilton (13.1f). Asked a bigger question now but remains fairly treated and must enter calculations.

Form: 445-411

(14)

Hallelujah U^p²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: S D Bowen| T: James Owen| OR: 101

25/1

Seemed to excel himself when a never-nearer sixth in the Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot in June and largely confirmed that improvement when third of 5 in Newmarket Group 3 (13f) last time. Will likely need to find more to win off updated handicap mark, however.

Form: 1-34163

Forecasts

Sam Hawkens (4/1), Aeronautic (11/2), Dancing In Paris (6/1), French Duke (6/1), Master Builder (15/2), Barnso (11/1), Duraji (12/1), Artistic Star (12/1), Feigning Madness (12/1), Hallelujah U (25/1), Stressfree (25/1), Wonder Legend (25/1), Subsequent (28/1), Galashiels (33/1)

FRENCH DUKE was successful at this meeting 12 months ago and should be straighter for his solid return at Royal Ascot. He makes plenty of appeal. Aeronautic got back on track over this trip last time and is feared most, whilst the hat-trick seeking Sam Hawkens is also of interest.
