However, there are lively chances in the form of Aalto and Completely Random, with the latter having won twice on the all-weather this term. Elarak was runner-up on a previous showing and could go well for Charles Hills, with Soldier's Trees one of the top-weighted runners. Cosi Bello goes for Charlie Fellowes and could also be in the mix.

Jack Channon could saddle a winner of the Bunbury Cup, with Mezcala having shone on a couple of occasions this term. Last time out, we saw the 9/2 joint-favourite oblige in the Buckingham Palace Stakes over seven furlongs. It was an impressive effort at the 2026 Royal Ascot meeting, with the horse beating twenty-seven opponents on that occasion.
Back in March, Mezcala was able to generate another victory at Doncaster when running in a big field. There was lots to like about the horse's effort in the Spring Mile Handicap when competing over a mile. In between these two triumphs, there was a third-placed finish out of fifteen in a Newbury handicap where Classic and Indalo finished ahead of the runner.
Aalto was a runner-up last time out and the six-year-old ran well was competitive at Newmarket towards the end of June. The 2/1 favourite ran well over seven furlongs, with that representing an improvement on a showing at York where the horse finished well down the order. There was also an Ascot effort where the 66/1 shot finished in a midfield position.
Completely Random got his campaign off to a bang with consecutive victories on the all-weather. More latterly, there was an impressive showing when the horse claimed second place in a field of twenty-seven. In the Wokingham Stakes, just a head denied the charge a victory, with that coming after finishing tenth in the Victoria Cup at Ascot.
