Runners Spotlight

NR
Ancient Rome
Favorite

Often held up in rear, so he saw very little daylight when 50-1 off career-low mark in the Spring Cup at Newbury four weeks ago; dropped another 2lb since but he last won in September 2023 and failed to make an impact in all but one of his races in 2025, so does not look the percentage call.

Jockey: NON-RUNNERTrainer: Charles Hills
1
Ebt's Guard

Tough and consistent sort who won the C&D Spring Cup on 2025 reappearance but couldn't get a clear run in it this time round; third in this race last year and 9lb higher today but he's an each-way contender.

Jockey: Lewis EdmundsTrainer: William Muir & Chris Grassick
2
Checkandchallenge

7yo who's spent the vast majority of his career in Group or Listed races and this time last year he was fifth on this card in the Group 1 Lockinge; only his second handicap when, like so many others, he met traffic problems in the Spring Cup over C&D (28-1) four weeks ago; Rossa Ryan gets back on board and they are not totally dismissed.

Jockey: Rossa RyanTrainer: William Knight
3
Bullet Point

Can front-run; had 1m wins at Newmarket and York last season, with two seconds at Ascot in between including the Royal Hunt Cup; makes plenty of appeal on that evidence but needs to bounce back from an underwhelming reappearance when second favourite at Newmarket two weeks ago.

Jockey: Tom MarquandTrainer: William Haggas
4
Witch Hunter

His only turf wins came in a Royal Ascot handicap and Newbury Group 3, but they were in 2023 and he needs the cards to drop right for his late bids; scored on AW in January but subsequent form, including when 40-1 in the Victoria Cup last Saturday, isn't good enough.
