Analyst's Verdict
NEVER SO BRAVE won at Group 1 level last year and can prove too strong with his reappearance under his belt. Alcantor showed promise when fourth at Leopardstown on his return and could be the biggest danger, while Ten Bob Tony, who won this race at Haydock last season could bounce back with a big run.
Analyst's Verdict
SHES PERFECT shaped as if retaining plenty of ability back from an injury when third in a very strong listed event at Goodwood 5 weeks ago and is the one to beat on her 3-y-o form. Sparks Fly shaped well in this last year and can handle easier underfoot conditions so is second choice despite carrying a 3 lb penalty, while Pina Sonata returned with a stylish win in a listed race at Kempton and remains unexposed.
Analyst's Verdict
A fascinating renewal that will likely prove another thorough test of stamina for CALANDAGAN, but he's a better horse this time around and can reverse the placings with last year's winner Jan Brueghel, extending his remarkable sequence of Group 1 victories in the process.
Analyst's Verdict
Irish raider ECLAIRAGE is all about speed and she can build on the promise of her close comeback second at Navan to land this good prize. Recent Goodwood scorer Lexington Blitz, the 2024 winner of this race Dream Composer and unexposed Kinswoman also make appeal in a typically competitive renewal.
Analyst's Verdict
Easy Chester Vase winner BENVENUTO CELLINI can provide Aidan O'Brien with a fourth successive Derby and record-extending twelfth overall. Dante winner Item is one of the least inexperienced in the line-up having had only 3 runs but that makes his York performance all the more impressive and he can progress again and provide the chief threat ahead of Lingfield Derby Trial 1-2 Maltese Cross and Bay of Brilliance. The selection's stablemate Pierre Bonnard completes the shortlist.
Analyst's Verdict
Plenty to consider here but FOLK PAGEANT is very much going the right way in handicaps over this trip and a 6 lb rise for her latest win may well be within her compass. Hell Yeah He Did is one of the unknown quantities to some extent but along with Starlight Time, is expected to make up into a better 3-y-o.
Analyst's Verdict
A deep-looking renewal of this handicap with TOO SOON receiving the tentative vote. He hasn't added to his tally since winning a good race at this venue as a juvenile, but his fourth at Ascot 2 starts ago is among the best recent form on offer and he looks primed for a big run back over a more suitable trip with his yard beginning to turn a corner. Gordon Grey is also of interest given his excellent course record, while Spinning Wheel and Hengest are two unexposed 4-y-os to note.
Analyst's Verdict
APOLLO ONE is perhaps better known for his valiant efforts in defeat than his wins, but he remains a classy operator and, racing from his lowest mark in 3 years, is taken to better his 2 previous placings in this race and gain a deserved success. Fine Interview arrives on the back of an improved win and is sure to run well, while Solar Aclaim and Twilight Jet are also respected in a highly competitive sprint.
