Verdict
MOUNT ATLAS can build on his encouraging run in the Duke of Edinburgh at the Royal meeting and resume winning ways with his sights lowered. Like the selection, Night Breeze has good C&D form and is the chief threat on the back of his fine placed effort in the Old Newton Cup last Saturday.

VerdictMost progressive last year, including a C&D win. Creditable fifth of 18 in Duke of Edinburgh back here last month and leading claims in this less-competitive scenario. - 5. Night BreezeJ: Jamie SpencerT: Ian WilliamsF: 1324-4153

VerdictBetter than ever with a C&D win in May and creditable third of 14 in Old Newton Cup at Haydock last weekend, staying on after meeting trouble at a crucial stage. Same mark here. Should go well. - 3. Crystal FlyerJ: Kieran ShoemarkT: Tom WardF: 416212-17

VerdictDual winner at Goodwood last term and progressed again when making a winning return at Southwell in April. Struggled in Group 3 company at York subsequently but more realistic chance back in a handicap.

VerdictGood third to Night Breeze on C&D reappearance in May but has run below that level at Windsor twice since. First-time blinkers and a return to Ascot need to spark a revival.

VerdictHad an exceptional year in 2024, winning 5 times on the Flat and once over hurdles. Has yet to fire in his 3 outings this season but his mark has edged back down. Blinkers are refitted.

VerdictWinless since landing a conditions event at Southwell at the start of 2024. Should be sharper for last weekend's reappearance in the Old Newton Cup at Haydock but he needs to have come on a good bit in a short time.- Unnamed Favourite
