1

Candleford 125 William Buick • William Haggas 3125-1 6yr • 129lbs

14/1

On balance of his form he's a shade vulnerable, but worth a second look given Ascot record

2

Continuous 133 Ryan Moore • A P O'Brien 82115- 4yr • 129lbs

1 NAP 6 Tips 13/8

St Leger winner who is the one to beat if at the top of his game on this reappearance

3

Crypto Force 119 Rossa Ryan • Adrian Murray 71/673 4yr • 129lbs

50/1

Encouraging third in Tattersalls Gold Cup but beaten 11l and needs sizeable step forward

4

Desert Hero 127 Tom Marquand • William Haggas 113-25 4yr • 129lbs

1 Tips 9/1

Disappointing at Newbury last time but there's lots to like if ignoring that performance

5

Elegant Man 130 David Egan • Adrian Murray 12-114 4yr • 129lbs

1 Tips 20/1

Bundles of promise on AW; soundly beaten in Group 1 on turf debut, but faster ground today

6

Goliath 124 Maxime Guyon • F-H Graffard 14-214 4yr • 129lbs

18/1

Group 3 win at Longchamp last month but further improvement is needed today

7

Isle Of Jura 127 Callum Shepherd • George Scott 2-1111 4yr • 129lbs

1 NAP 1 Tips 18/1

Prolific in Bahrain and a Listed win at Goodwood latest; could have more left in the tank

8

Middle Earth 130 Oisin Murphy • John & Thady Gosden 1171-1 4yr • 129lbs

9/4

Reappeared with Group 3 win and this 4yo is firmly on the up for his top yard; player

9

Missed The Cut 129 James Doyle • John W Sadler 02-112 5yr • 129lbs

12/1

Won at Royal Ascot in 2022; two US Grade 3 wins this year; could be involved
