Phantom Flight
Scored twice over this trip in 2022 but raced exclusively at further since and stays 1m4f; not crying out for the drop back to 1m and has to overcome a 3lb penalty (for Bahrain Listed win in January) to boot.

Tyrrhenian Sea
Career-best performance in 1m Listed event at Lingfield when last seen, taking AW record to 5-13; however, he's 0-5 on turf and is lumbered with 3lb penalty back in this sphere; not the percentage call.

Checkandchallenge
Well beaten when belatedly returned to AW last time, having been struck into on left hind; beat all bar rising 1m star Dancing Gemini at Doncaster on reappearance but strike-rate remains unimpressive.

Docklands
Failed to make much of a splash globetrotting towards the end of 2024; ran well in this trial and the Queen Anne last year, taking his Ascot form figures to 11322; top on ratings in first-time tongue-tie.

Harper's Ferry
Ended last season with a useful handicap win at Doncaster; below-par favourite at Newmarket on reappearance but is lightly raced and may rater higher still; more interesting than the bare figures suggest.

Meydaan
Campaigned exclusively over longer trips and ran well in the 2024 Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot (1m6f) on the back of a 1m3f Listed win; gelded since last run; this drop to 1m presents a question mark.

22/1 |
Royal Dubai
Has something to find on most of his form but produced peak effort at Ascot, namely close fourth in Group 2 over the round 1m last July; return to this venue may have positive effect.

- Sardinian Warrior
- K Shoemark / J & T Gosden

|
10/3 |
Sardinian Warrior
Won easily and produced a very useful handicap performance at Southwell when last seen, taking form figures (all over 1m on AW) to 2111; interesting, assuming his big progress is transferred to turf.

25/1 |
Sir Busker
Ran respectably in this race in 2021 (third) and 2022 (runner-up); however, ideally needs further now (last two wins at 1m2f) and hasn't scored over 1m since 2020; this 9yo is best watched.

Unquestionable
Smart for Aidan O'Brien; won at the Breeders' Cup as a 2yo and ran creditably in the 2024 St James's Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot on last appearance; now fully owned by Al Shaqab Racing; respected.

Witch Hunter
Best known as a very useful 7f performer but showed good form twice over C&D last term, including fourth-place finish in the Queen Anne; frame possibilities, provided he takes to first-time blinkers.
