Almaty Star and Solar Edge are both likely to go forward, which may just tee this up for TEMPLE OF ATHENA to make it 2-2 on the all-weather. Ziggy's Missile also appeals if back on song.

Verdict
Improved to make successful reappearance on sole previous all-weather start at Wolverhampton (5f) in March. Similar effort when fourth in another strong 3-y-o handicap at Epsom last time, and she could make an immediate impact now tackling open company.

Verdict
C&D winner burned off 5 rivals to capitalise on a lower turf mark at Yarmouth in April. Well held in stronger handicaps since, but he's drawn to make a bold bid on return to the all-weather.

Notched a fourth career success at Bath on return. Confirmed he's at the top of his game with close second in this grade at Windsor subsequently. Has to enter calculations off only 1 lb higher.

Winner off 3 lb higher mark at Chelmsford this time last year. No obvious excuse for poor effort at Sandown on latest start, though.

Verdict
Won 3 times (twice on the all-weather) in the first half of last year. Seemingly amiss at Salisbury second start of this season in early-May. Given a break since and isn't taken lightly off a falling mark with Billy Loughnane booked.

Three-time winner in 2025. Again out of sorts on final start for Denis Hogan in mid-May, and he has plenty to prove on stable debut.

Ten-time C&D winner. Ran creditably to finish fourth on turf at Brighton last time. Back on his latest winning mark, though this is a better race than he need contest.
