Verdict
STRATOCRACY has returned in good form and can resume winning ways. Silver Trumpet could be a player back from a breathing operation, while Yarmouth winner Mister Mojito and Windsor Pass, from her much-reduced mark, are also in the mix.

VerdictSuccessful at Yarmouth (7f) 5 weeks ago, quickly back on the up returned to turf, making a good move to hit the front and just needing to be kept up to his work late on by his usual claimer. Can go well again back up 3 lb.

VerdictLong held a lower turf mark and was belatedly able to capitalise on it to notch a third win of the season in 7f Doncaster handicap recently. Far from sure to back that up under a penalty.

VerdictFairly useful maiden, placed 3 times in 2024 and probably has a race or two in him from reduced mark. 7f might be short enough for him now, though.- 8. Silver TrumpetJ: Charles BishopT: Eve Johnson HoughtonF: 9320-3797

VerdictShaping up well from much reduced mark, making late headway having been left with too much to do at Chelmsford (7f) last time. Interesting to see market support back on turf.

VerdictA regular at Epsom and ran as well as could be expected having been left poorly placed in Class 2 handicap on Oaks Day. This is easier from proper mark.
