Runners Spotlight

NR
No Retreat
Favorite

Spells in Britain and UAE have resulted in overall form figures of 3222212; gelded since last run; sole attempt over 7f resulted in his win; interesting returned to this trip on debut for another new yard.

Jockey: Callum ShepherdTrainer: George Scott
NR
Mafnood

Campaigned mostly at longer trips (stays 1m3f); ran creditably at Epsom (8.5f) on stable/seasonal debut but has enough to prove in this hot 7f handicap; wears first-time cheekpieces; 2lb out of weights.

Jockey: NON-RUNNERTrainer: George Baker
1
Witch Hunter

Good chance on peak form, namely 7f wins at Royal Ascot (handicap) and Newbury (Group 2) in 2023; has failed to score since, which doesn't inspire confidence back in a highly competitive field.

Jockey: Joe Leavy(3)Trainer: Richard Hannon
2
Roi De France

Below par in the 2024 Cambridgeshire but otherwise has a solid record, creditable second at Newcastle (1m) on AW finals day most recently; likely to cope with drop back to 7f on this track; in the mix.

Jockey: Oisin MurphyTrainer: John & Thady Gosden
3
English Oak

Readily justified favouritism in Royal Ascot handicap (sole C&D attempt) last year, continuing his progress; inconsistent since but is interesting returned to this scenario with Haydock reappearance under his belt.

Jockey: William BuickTrainer: Ed Walker
