FlatClass 31m
Verdict

Given his excellent pedigree/connections, SHIPBOURNE very much looks the type to improve on handicap debut. He's narrowly preferred to Asmen Warrior, whose second on penultimate start at Windsor has been well-advertised. Newmarket specialist Spanish Voice is another to note in a competitive affair, along with progressive 3-y-os The Joker and Lion of Alba.

    Verdict
    Back on the up when successful under a more-patient ride over C&D last time (now 3-3 at Newmarket, winning twice on Rowley Mile). Plenty of pace on so should get race to suit again (provided same tactics are adopted), and he makes plenty of appeal with Ryan Moore taking over.

    Verdict
    Bred in the purple. Impressive debut winner at Newbury (6f, heavy) last October. Built on that at the second attempt when winning a Doncaster novice (7f) on reappearance. There may well be better to come now sent handicapping over longer trip by excellent yard (smart brother Task Force stayed 9f).

    Verdict
    Capped progressive juvenile season with all-the-way success at Chester last August. No impact in Italian 2000 Guineas on return, but he made the most of an advantageous draw when fourth in the Britannia on handicap bow. Still unexposed and Oisin Murphy aboard for first time.

    Verdict
    Low-mileage 4-y-o who was narrowly touched off in this race 12 months ago. Only 1 lb higher in bid to go one better, and he looked right at the top of his game behind a course specialist at Ripon in late-May.

    Verdict
    Steadily progressive sort who justified support with a smooth-travelling success at Sandown (9f). A 3 lb rise looks more than fair (always holding on last time), and he could run another big race with luck in running from stall 15.

    Relatively lightly-raced 4-y-o has won twice since joining current yard. Lacked the pace to land a blow when sixth in a slightly better race at Sandown last time. Strongly-run 1m on this course may just suit.

    Verdict
    Proved a different proposition when pulling clear with an improving, next-time-out winner at Windsor in late-May. Visor he wore that day back on (didn't fully settle in blinkers in a messy Epsom handicap latest). Well worth another chance to confirm Windsor form.

    Verdict
    Successful 4 times on the all-weather last season. Chased home Spanish Voice and Sterling Knight in handicaps on Rowley Mile here in May. Looked unlucky not to finish second in really competitive affair at Epsom, and he may again benefit from a strong pace to aim at.

    Well-bred son of Frankel. Off since opening his account in small-field novice at Wolverhampton in November 2024. Sold out of Roger Varian for 40,000 gns in February this year (gelded in interim). Capable new yard pitch him into the deep end on belated return/handicap debut.
