SING US A SONG was purchased by Wathnan Racing after his 1¼m Sandown handicap debut success in April and looks to have been saved for this. The step up to 1½m should play to his strengths and he can provide Ralph Beckett with a third win in this since 2021. Merchant, Gunship and Masai Moon head the many dangers in a typically strong renewal of this 3-y-o handicap.

    Verdict
    Progressive profile, producing a dominant display when stepping up to 1½m for the first time at last month's York Dante meeting. Raised 8 lb for that but it shouldn't prevent another prominent showing from a colt who hails from the same stable as 2023 winner Desert Hero.

    Verdict
    Son of Wootton Bassett who has improved with each run, posting a useful performance when accounting for 15 rivals in 1¼m Leopardstown handicap on reappearance. Should stay 1½m. The mount of Ryan Moore from the yard's 3 runners. Drawn wide but still respected.

    Verdict
    Goodwood maiden winner last autumn and followed up in 1¼m Sandown handicap on reappearance in April. That form has been boosted a few times since so a 7 lb rise looks manageable and the step up to 1½m should also be in his favour. Good shout for a yard with a strong recent record in this.

    Verdict
    Stylish winner on 1m Kempton debut in October. Dropped away quickly in listed race at Newmarket on reappearance but bounced back with a bang when edging out Boatswain in 1¼m Nottingham novice last month. Bred to stay 1½m and top yard has tasted recent success in this.

    Verdict
    Stepped up considerably on his exploits as a juvenile when chasing home reopposing stablemate Serious Contender in 1¼m Leopardstown handicap on reappearance. Backed that up when a close third at Navan (1¼m again) since, shaping as if ready for 1½m. Cheekpieces are also added.

    Verdict
    Much improved since tongue tied and stepped up to 1¼m, winning a handicap at the Newmarket Guineas meeting before getting worn down only in the final strides in the valuable London Gold Cup at Newbury. That form is strong and the fact his dam was a 1½m winner provides hope for the new trip.

    Bolted up in 1¼m Chester maiden on reappearance. Not in quite the same form when narrowly denied under a penalty at Doncaster (1¼m again) since but remains the type to do well in handicaps. 1½m ought to suit but the outside stall could make life awkward.

    Made a winning debut over 1m on Newcastle's AW in January and much better form in defeat in 1¼m turf novices since, latterly 2½ lengths fourth of 5 to the reopposing Masai Moon at Nottingham (good). Will stay 1½m. Handicap debut.

    Much improved when winning 18-runner maiden at Cork (10.5f, soft, 10/3) on reappearance in April. Backed that up when runner-up over the same trip at Roscommon the following month but it's tough to argue his opening handicap mark looks generous.

    Winner of 1¼m Goodwood handicap on reappearance and even better form when narrowly denied over the same trip at Epsom (1¼m, soft) since. A further 4 lb rise looks fair enough given he pulled 2½ lengths clear of the third. Up in trip.

    Verdict
    400,000 gns Frankel colt who left autumn debut behind when narrowly denied on 1¼m Doncaster reappearance in March. A step up to listed level proved too much at Epsom since but he remains open to improvement with handicaps in mind. This longer trip should play to his strengths.
