Miss Yvonne Jacques
Most progressive when completing a 4-timer (3 C&D handicaps) last September. Won twice at listed level since chasing home Al Aasy in the John Porter on return, setting a sound pace/holding on gamely for a much-improved success at Windsor last time. Set to enhance his excellent course record.

Shadwell Estate Company Ltd
Strong traveller who was given plenty to do when runner-up in this corresponding event 2 years ago. Isn't always the heartiest in a battle, but he was delivered perfectly to land a career-best success in Grade 2 Grand Prix de Deauville latest. No easy task giving 5 lb to the field, though.

Godolphin
Beat an equally smart stablemate at Meydan in February 2025. Completed a double in good style in an Abu Dhabi listed race 12 months on (doesn't stand much racing) and not disgraced when beaten 6 lengths in the Sheema Classic latest. Hood refitted for return (goes well fresh) and looks interesting.

Godolphin
Smart 5-y-o who is lightly raced for his age. Finished behind stablemate Royal Power in the Sheema Classic in March. Back to his best with consecutive runner-up finishes in listed company this summer, doing all he could behind a game one at Chester (14.5f) latest. Needs even more in a better race.
