Three year-olds don't have a great recent record in this race but ARCHIVIST looks capable of bucking that trend and becoming the first of his generation to take this since Wigmore Hall in 2010. See That Storm goes off the same mark as when runner-up over C&D last month and can extend his run of form since joining Ed Bethell and provide the chief threat ahead of Naqeeb and Thunder Run.

    Verdict
    Very much going the right way for new trainer William Haggas, winning a Leicester maiden with ease before running out the cosy winner of a 1m course handicap at odds of 4/6 a fortnight ago. 1¼m ought to be within range and looks well treated under a 5 lb penalty with further progress on the cards.

    Winner of first 4 starts for current connections, including a 1¼m Redcar handicap on reappearance. Went down narrowly in the Zetland Gold Cup over the same C&D next time and ran another cracker when chasing home a progressive sort from the Gosden stable over C&D (good to firm) 4 weeks ago. Player.

    Verdict
    Lightly-raced 4-y-o who took his form to another level when impressive winner of Golden Gates Handicap at 2024 Royal Ascot. Better effort this year when sixth of 18 in Duke of Edinburgh at this year's Royal meeting but it was still below his best. Needs to recapture his peak form.

    Verdict
    Smart handicapper who has made an encouraging start to life with the Julie Camacho stable, running up to his very best when third of 18 in the Duke of Edinburgh at Royal Ascot (1½m) 22 days ago. Travels strongly enough in his races to think he could prove effective back at shorter. On the shortlist.

    Verdict
    Has landed 2 good handicaps at this course, the latter when tackling 1¼m for the first time at the Dante meeting, getting up in the dying strides despite pulling hard. Should remain very competitive off 4 lb higher. The draw could have been kinder.

    Verdict
    Steadily progressive for Sir Michael Stoute last year and improved further to make winning return for his new yard at Newmarket (9f) in May. Fared best of those in centre of track when sixth of 30 in Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot (1m) since. Likely his mark is still workable but stall 19 could be awkward.

Bounced back from a disappointing run in the Zetland Gold Cup at Redcar when second of 11 at Newcastle 16 days ago. Elizabeth Gale takes 5 lb off.

    Verdict
    Didn't last long over hurdles for Lucinda Russell but firmly back on track returned to Flat when making a winning start for this yard at Bath (1¼m) in October. Unlucky not to make a winning reappearance at Chester in May and had little go right when well held in the Duke of Edinburgh at Ascot since.
