Runners Spotlight

Cairo
Favorite

Belied his 40-1 odds with second-place finish in Group 2 at Chester (1m2f) most recently; no certainty to go one better, being 0-9 for current yard and without a win for over two years; wears new headgear.

Jockey: Kieran O'NeillTrainer: Alice Haynes
1
Brave Emperor

Campaigned mainly abroad and has inferior form in Britain; gained most recent success in Italian Group 3 last October; below par behind Geography in German contest last time and can be opposed.

Jockey: Luke MorrisTrainer: Archie Watson

Geography

German gelding who is a triple Group 3 winner on home soil, including a career-best performance at Dusseldorf (1m, good to soft) in sole run this year; interesting contender in this first British assignment.

Jockey: Christophe SoumillonTrainer: P Schiergen
3
Persica

Came up well short in the Group 1 Lockinge last time; generally progressive otherwise and recorded a comfortable success in the 1m2f handicap on this card 12 months ago; bagged Group 3 honours at Newmarket (1m1f, good to soft) in April and warrants respect back at this level.

Jockey: Ryan MooreTrainer: Richard Hannon
5
Docklands

Versatile as regards ground; particularly well suited by Ascot where his form includes second-place finishes in the 2024 Queen Anne and Listed contest (clear of remainder; ran up to best) on reappearance; has the best chance at the weights in this first Epsom attempt.
