Gained reward for his consistency when beating Run Boy Run a length in a handicap at Newbury (6f) on his latest start in May off a mark of 94. “Ryan rode him to win nicely at Newbury and has obviously stuck with him for the Wokingham.

She arrived there on the bridle and sort of got run out of it. She is a talented filly and hopefully we can get back there in the end.” CLASSIC Winner of two of his 18 starts and currently rated 87. Finished fourth, beaten three and a half lengths, to My Cloud in a handicap at Newbury (1m) in May off a mark of 88. “On his day, he is capable of winning anything and he will before the end of the year but who knows when, it’s up to him. We will try and get in the Hunt Cup.” DARK THIRTY  Winner of five of his 28 starts and currently rated 89. Finished runner-up, beaten a length and a quarter, to Rousing Encore off a mark of 88 in a handicap at York (6f) in May on his latest start. “He goes to the Wokingham and obviously his last run was a very good run.

Finished fifth, beaten seven and a half lengths, to Dancing Gemini in the Group 2 bet365 Mile at Sandown (1m) and subsequently fourth, beaten two and three quarter lengths, to Quddwah in a listed event at ParisLongchamp (1m) in May. “Haatem is going up to a mile and quarter in the Wolferton. He doesn’t seem to show the same speed that he showed last year, and he gives the impression he will be suited by a step up in trip.” ROSALLION Winner of five of his 8 starts and currently rated 122. Winner of the Group 1 Irish 2,000 Guineas at the Curragh (1m) in May 2024 when beating stablemate Haatem a head and went onto beat Henry Longfellow a neck in the St James’s Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot (1m) in June. Having his first race since when third, beaten two and a half lengths, to Lead Artist in the Group 1 Lockinge Stakes at Newbury (1m) in May. “Rosallion has come out of the Lockinge very well and he had a good blow at Newbury. He is a good bit fitter, and he will improve a lot for his first run. He improved for his first run last year and he goes to the Queen Anne Stakes. Let’s hope he can what he did at Royal Ascot last year.” TALIS EVOLVERE Winner of five of his 22 starts and currently rated 95. Finished fourth, beaten four and a quarter lengths, to Socialite in a handicap at Windsor (1m) in May off a mark of 97. “He has come down the weight a fair bit and he is in good form. He goes for the Hunt Cup if he gets in and if not, he goes for the Buckingham Palace.” WITCH HUNTER Winner of four of his 41 starts and currently rated 103. Best effort this term when runner-up, beaten three quarters of a length, to Royal Zabeel in a listed contest at Wolverhampton (7f) in March. “He goes for the Buckingham Palace, and he ran a much better race than it looked at Chester last time.

Returned to winning form in a handicap at Goodwood (1m) later that month when holding Fort George by a neck off a mark of 86. “I am pleased with the progress he has made all year, and he was complicated as a two-year-old, so we didn’t run him. He won a decent race at Goodwood and goes for the Britannia. Hopefully, he is still improving and that looks a good race for him to go for.” KING OF CITIES Winner of one of his 5 starts and currently rated 111. Finished ninth, beaten four lengths, to Camille Pissaro in the Group 1 Prix du Jockey Club at Chantilly (1m 2 1/2f) in June. “King Of Cities came of out the Prix du Jockey Club very well and he is suited by a mile to a mile and a quarter with some cut in the ground. We might look at something like the Sir Henry Cecil at the July Festival and get him back winning.” LINWOOD Winner of two of his 4 starts and currently rated 93. Winner of novices at Newbury (7f) last July (beating Hawksbill a length and a quarter) and Ripon (1m) in August (scoring by a neck from Manila Thriller).

Scored by a length and a half from Side Deal on his debut in a novice at York (6f) in May and subsequently runner-up, beaten a length, to Anthelia in the Listed National Stakes at Sandown (5f) later that month. “He is another who will have all three entries in the Juvenile races and he has done nothing wrong in both his starts and deserves to take his chance at Ascot.” HARRY’S GIRL Scored by three quarters of a length from Ruby’s Angel on her debut at Newmarket t (5f) in April and subsequently runner-up, beaten half a length, to Secret Hideaway in the Listed Marygate Stakes at York (5f) in May. “Harry’s Girl is a lovely filly by Harry Angel, and she goes for the Queen Mary. She was caught on the line in the Marygate, and she is a little bit fragile mentally, but she has been working extremely well. INDIGO DAWN Made a winning debut in a maiden fillies’ at Goodwood (6f) in May when scoring by a length from Coming Attraction. “She is a very, very talented filly but Ascot may come a bit quick for her. If she goes to Royal Ascot, then she will go for the Albany.” TAHALEL Finished runner-up, beaten three and a half lengths, to Fitzella in a maiden fillies’ at Haydock (6f) in May. “She is a very nice filly, but I am not sure whether she will go to Royal Ascot just yet.
