6 tips

11/8

Comment: One of two runners for a trainer who has landed this prize ten times; Listed winner in France last term; good second to odds-on stablemate in the Ballysax Stakes at Leopardstown (1m2f, good to yielding) on reappearance, shaping as if this longer trip will suit; respected.

9/2

Comment: Two from two, namely novice wins at Redcar (1m/1m2f, soft/good); readily justified short odds last time and brings potential to this higher grade, upped further in distance; interesting.

Pinhole

Jockey: Rossa Ryan Trainer: Ralph Beckett Age/Wt: 3/9-2 F: 51-

2 tips

9/2

Comment: Frankel colt whose siblings include a Group 1 winner; made late headway over 7f in sole start for Sir Michael Stoute then justified favouritism at Southwell (1m, AW) where he was well on top at the finish; gives the impression he'll be suited by middle distances; promising.

Thrice

Jockey: W Buick Trainer: Aidan O'Brien Age/Wt: 3/9-2 F: 314- OR: 102

13/2

Comment: Blinkered in his 2yo starts but won well at Listowel (7f, good) the second time; subsequently ran below market expectations in 1m1f Group 3 at Leopardstown and is deserted by Ryan Moore, who prefers stablemate Lambourn; headgear retained.

Square D'alboni

3 tips

15/2

Comment: Showed his 2yo progress on good, good to soft and heavy ground; comfortably bagged Listed honours at Chantilly (1m1f) the final time, taking record to 3-4; major player on ratings upped further in trip and helps to give Ralph Beckett, who also runs Pinhole, a strong hand.

Comment: Thrice-raced colt; made a successful reappearance in Newbury maiden (1m3f, good) that threw up the winners of this race in 2018 and 2024; possibilities with further progress on the cards.

Lazy Griff

Jockey: J Fanning Trainer: Charlie Johnston Age/Wt: 3/9-2 F: 20131- OR: 101

25/1

Comment: Well held at Royal Ascot but progressive otherwise last year, latterly in France; remains to be seen whether he can transfer the form of Chantilly Group 3 win (1m1f, good) back to home soil.

Comment: Irish colt who is the only maiden in this field, has a mountain to climb on ratings and isn't a certain stayer over this new trip.
