Silver Knott
Very smart performer who has seen a lot of the world; Group 3 scorer in Britain and Group/Grade 2 winner in UAE/USA; beaten favourite in the Jockey Club Stakes at Newmarket most recently but wasn't disgraced on form; major contender back down in class, even with 7lb penalty.

Cash
Lightly raced 6yo who is capable of very useful form; gelded prior to stiff task on seasonal debut; drops back in grade and could go well but record (0-8 since debut win) suggests he's set for another supporting role.

Exoplanet
Lightly raced 5yo; good second in Group 3 at Royal Ascot in 2023, then was absent until filling same position in AW Listed contest at Kempton (again over 1m2f; debut for new yard) last month; 0-5 since debut success but his form is largely progressive; possibilities.

Jeff Koons
Reached a useful standard for the Gosdens; campaigned mostly in Qatar for current stable, winning twice; runner-up in local Grade 1 last time but that form is difficult to evaluate; others preferred.

- C Lee / K R Burke

2/1 |
Liberty Lane
Soft-ground Cambridgeshire winner who still has something to prove on good to firm; posted a solid Group 3 effort (behind the subsequent Lockinge winner) last October; looks like he's about to hit top form judged on this year's runs; has the best chance at the weights.

7/1 |
Meydaan
Successful in this grade at Goodwood (1m3f, good) a year ago and is interesting back here with Ascot reappearance (over an inadequate 1m) under his belt; needs improvement judged on ratings but the location may facilitate a new level of form.

10/1 |
Peace Man
Progressive in 2023 and showed solid form at Newmarket last autumn, including a Group 3 effort that ties him in with Liberty Lane; went close in Listed grade next time; one for the shortlist with Sandown reappearance (faced quite a difficult task) under his belt.

33/1 |
Savvy Victory
Thoroughly exposed 6yo; Listed winner in 2023 but this is a stronger race for the grade and he gained most recent success in an AW handicap; never figured when an outsider in Good Friday event last time.

- Sir Busker

|
28/1 |
Sir Busker
Veteran who finished behind Meydaan at Ascot on seasonal debut; successful only twice since 2020, both times at York; smart on his day but doesn't look the percentage call.
