Verdict
An open-looking finale in which the suggestion is PAROLE D'ORO, who looked potentially well treated on his Thirsk second and did enough to suggest that ought to prove itself true another day when an unlucky eighth in the Britannia at Royal Ascot 3 weeks ago (denied clear run over 2f out). With further progress on the cards, he can get the better of Where's Freddy, who boasts a perfect 3-3 at this course, with Great Acclaim and Boyfriend rounding off the shortlist.

VerdictConfirmed debut promise when landing novice at Epsom last summer and returned with very good second at Thirsk. Looked potentially well treated on handicap bow and did enough to suggest that ought to prove itself true when eighth in Britannia at Royal Ascot 3 weeks ago so holds leading claims.

VerdictBumped into a subsequent Royal Ascot winner on return and didn't need to improve on that effort to double his tally at Nottingham (8.3f, good to soft) just over 5 weeks ago, edging ahead close home. Remains unexposed for one of his age so could have more to offer.- 9. Wheres FreddyJ: Marco GhianiT: Stuart WilliamsF: 256-14201

VerdictBack to winning ways at Wolverhampton (7.2f) in January and made it 3-3 at this venue in 10-runner handicap at this C&D (good) just under 3 weeks ago, not going with any great fluency early on but suited by the sound gallop. 4 lb higher here but obviously warrants plenty of respect.

VerdictWon twice over C&D last summer but yet to finish nearer than fifth in 5 runs so far this year. Handicap mark continues to slide and cheekpieces reapplied but others more appealing.

Verdict3-time C&D winner but losing run now stretches back nigh-on 2 years and this level looks above his pay grade nowadays.

VerdictMade light of an 11-month absence when off the mark in a Southwell maiden in March and impressively resumed winning ways in handicap at Kempton in May. Lost action at Doncaster next time but back on song when runner-up at Newcastle (1m) a fortnight ago. Moore booked but seems better on AW.- 2.

VerdictHad a productive 2024, registering his fourth success at Windsor in August. Took a few runs to hit top form this season but was back to his best when runner-up at this track (7f, good to firm) a fortnight ago, headed post having been well positioned. Back at 1m and that probably suits him better.

VerdictOpened his account at the third attempt when landing the odds in Chester maiden and big improvement fitted with headgear when fourth of 20 in valuable sales event at Doncaster. Possibly needed the run after 8 months off when well held in the Britannia at Royal Ascot and this should reveal more.

VerdictDoubled his career tally in 8-runner handicap at Salisbury (1m) in May but not seen to best effect back down in trip when fifth here (7f, good to firm) a fortnight ago, hampered start then racing freely. Buick back on board rates a plus but mark seems high enough for now.

VerdictUseful 6.5f winner at 2 yrs but failed to kick on following his encouraging fourth in the Greenham at Newbury (7f) last season. Has fared little better in handicaps since being gelded and arrives with something to prove dropping back down to 1m.

VerdictHighly tried after winning a Doncaster novice last summer but made an encouraging return when close second on handicap debut at Chester in May. Proved much too free over a longer trip in the Britannia at Royal Ascot last month and now returns to calmer waters.- Unnamed Favourite

VerdictMade it third time lucky for William Haggas at Windsor back in summer 2023 and doubled his tally on first start for a new yard in Qatar earlier this year. Has performed consistently in defeat since (for a different stable) and returns to these shores for new connections after 3 months off.
