Runners Spotlight

1
Royal Zabeel
Favorite

Defied top weight in similar event at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) last time, bouncing back to form and taking record to 5-15; still favourably treated on best AW form and may remain competitive.

Jockey: Kieran ShoemarkTrainer: Michael Appleby
2
Rhoscolyn

Strong record at Goodwood includes wins in this race in 2023 and festival event (1m) last time; Cian Horgan's 5lb claim is helpful off revised mark but the forecast ground isn't (ideally needs softer than good).

Jockey: Cian Horgan(5)Trainer: David O'Meara
3
Purosangue

Always behind in the Stewards' Cup here most recently and losing spell goes back to 2023; however, well handicapped on best sprinting form and some of his 2025 efforts suggest this new trip is worth exploring.

Jockey: David ProbertTrainer: Andrew Balding
4
Great Acclaim

Two from two since wearing blinkers, namely 7f wins at Glorious Goodwood (good) and Chepstow (good to soft); still unexposed over this trip and may improve further in the retained blinds; major contender.

Jockey: Charles BishopTrainer: Eve Johnson Houghton
5
Palmar Bay

Similar type to Royal Zabeel, being a last-time scorer whose strike-rate is 5-15; did it well at Chester (7f, good to firm) and another rise in the weights is almost offset by Jack Dace's 5lb claim; not ruled out.
