Analyst's Verdict
SHES GOT A BROTHER looks all about speed and shaped really well pitched into a big-field handicap at York last time. This test should play to her strengths and she gets the verdict over Wedonttelllies, a ready winner at Goodwood last time, and Riley Rocks.
Analyst's Verdict
HICKORY LAD was second in an above-average looking Lily Agnes at Chester a month ago and with the way he stuck to his task that day, 6f promises to suit. He's marginally preferred to Possessive, who arguably has the most scope to improve of these. Of the rest, Wild Terrain also has a bigger effort in him.
Analyst's Verdict
Last year's winner PERSICA (2-2 here) left the impression his reappearance fourth in the Earl of Sefton will bring him on and, with the Richard Hannon yard in top form, he looks primed for a bold bid once again. Boiling Point was a place in front of the selection on that occasion and is feared having scored at listed level since. Stablemate Ice Max, who finished runner up 12 months ago, may emerge best of the remainder.
Analyst's Verdict
HAND OF GOD proved better than ever when scoring at Newbury and a 5 lb rise looks well within his capabilities if in the same heart here. Respond will be dangerous if getting his way out in front and Sallaal is unexposed, too.
Analyst's Verdict
AMELIA EARHART announced herself as a leading contender for this race after a stylish win at Chester on her reappearance and can follow in the footsteps of her stablemate Minnie Hauk, who went on to land this last year after making a successful return in the Cheshire Oaks. The highly progressive Legacy Link was nicely on top at the finish in the Musidora at York and looks the obvious threat, while 1000 Guineas third Venetian Lace holds strong form claims if seeing out this much longer distance.
Analyst's Verdict
An open-looking contest in which preference is for ASMEN WARRIOR, who has found one too strong in 5 of his 7 starts for current connections but his latest Windsor effort represented a significant step forward. With first-time blinkers applied, he can gain a first handicap success at the expense of Stem, who is entitled to be sharper for his return and forecast conditions are in his favour. Mister Winston, Celeborn and Man of La Mancha are just a handful who may also feature, too.
Analyst's Verdict
STELLAR SUNRISE bumped into a pair very much on the up when third in a strong race at Newmarket last time and he has excellent claims to make it 4 wins from 8 career starts. Ten Carat Harry continued his remarkable rise with success on return to turf at Newmarket and another big run is expected, while Commonwealth Cup entrant Northern Champion looks interesting back in calmer waters.
Analyst's Verdict
A wide open finale but it's still hard to ignore the claims of DANCE IN THE STORM who really impressed on her return when going in at Chester and can make light of a 6 lb rise. Rhoscolyn took this in 2021 and 2024 and lurks on a dangerous mark again now so heads the list of dangers ahead of Zarathos, Mister Bluebird and Arctic Thunder.
