Runners Spotlight

1
Defence Minister
Favorite

Promising start to career with two wins over 6f; no progress since, most recently midfield over 1m at Royal Ascot on handicap debut; however, likely to benefit from this drop back in trip/grade.

Jockey: William BuickTrainer: Hamad Al Jehani
2
The Fingal Raven

Consistent spell at Meydan culminated in a creditable effort behind the subsequent 2,000 Guineas winner; down the field at Royal Ascot (1m) returned to British soil but this is an easier task.

Jockey: Saffie OsborneTrainer: Jamie Osborne
3
Arctic Grey

Progressive form this spring featured two wins; soundly beaten at Royal Ascot (kept to 1m) since but has raced only four times and may do better still; shapes as if he'll cope with this drop in distance.

Jockey: Sean LeveyTrainer: Richard Hannon
4
Mudbir

Thrice-raced colt whose promise features an AW reappearance win; latest effort (kept to 1m) suggests this drop back in trip will suit; sibling to two Group 1 scorers for his connections and should do better still; interesting handicap debutant.

Jockey: Jim CrowleyTrainer: John & Thady Gosden
5
Dance In The Storm

Registered a ready success in similar event over C&D (good to firm) three weeks ago on turf/handicap debut, settling better in first-time hood and taking record to 2-4; could well improve further in the retained headgear; respected.
