Botanical
Showed very useful form over 1m2f in notable handicaps at York (won/second) and Listed event at Goodwood (went very close) last term; interesting returned to this trip with 1m reappearance under his belt.

Checkandchallenge
Ties in with Botanical on reappearance form; has scored only once in last 18 turf runs but looks interesting belatedly returned to AW, being 2-2 in this sphere (first two career starts, including Listed win).

- Daniel Muscutt / Jane Chapple-Hyam

Crown Board
Very lightly raced 5yo; finished behind Checkandchallenge in last appearance but he's another runner who may improve back on AW, being 1-1 in this sphere (comfortable debut win); wears first-time hood.

33/1 |
Exoplanet
Absent since running very well in 1m2f Group 3 at Royal Ascot in 2023 (final start for Roger Varian); gelded later that year and sold for 18,000gns last October; betting may prove instructive.

Lion's Pride
Beat all bar subsequent Group 1 winner Kalpana when last seen, taking his Kempton form figures to 1132; gelded since; Listed scorer in 2023 and finished third in this contest 12 months ago; solid chance.

9/2 |
Military Order
Has a record of 121 on AW, the wins in the 2023 Derby Trial at Lingfield (1m4f) and 2024 Winter Derby at Southwell (1m3f); strong contender, assuming he returns from 379-day absence in top form.

9/4 |
Okeechobee
Good second in this contest last year then went one better in the Gordon Richards Stakes at Sandown (1m2f) later in April, taking overall record to 211121; absent since; top on ratings and progressive to boot.

- Callum Hutchinson / A M Balding

15/2 |
Teumessias Fox
Justified favouritism in the Rosebery (1m3f handicap) on seasonal debut, taking Kempton record to 3-4 and AW score to 4-9; faces stiffer task on these terms but warrants some respect kept to this course.
