Rocking Ends

Age: 6
Weight: 9st 11lbs
Or: 87

Won 3 times in 2025, including over C&D. Below form in Bahrain over the winter but didn't shape too badly when fourth of 7 in C&D handicap returned to these shores 36 days ago. Needs to build on that now.

Michaela's Boy (Ire)

Age: 6
Weight: 9st 7lbs
Or: 83

Won at Lingfield in January and was also a good second there later the same month. Creditable sixth of 10 back on turf at Nottingham in April. Poor effort over C&D since but Robert Cowell has won the last 2 runnings of this race.

Law Of Average

Age: 5
Weight: 9st 6lbs
Or: 82

Came down the weights after a disappointing 2025 and back on form with all-the-way wins over 5f at Bath and Hamilton (both firm) this spring. Another 6 lb but has to be feared in his current mood.

Cressida Wildes

Age: 4
Weight: 9st 0lbs
Or: 76

Ran up to her best to record a third success over this trip at Wolverhampton (5f) in February but has been disappointing subsequently, folding tamely at Windsor latest.

Timeform Verdict

If the visor works as well a second time TWILIGHT CALLS will likely take a bit of stopping under a 4 lb penalty. The hat-trick seeking Law of Average can give him most to do ahead of Havana Blast.

Betting Forecast

2/1 Twilight Calls, 17/2 Rocking Ends, 14/1 Michaela's Boy (Ire), 9/4 Law Of Average, 4/1 Havana Blast, 50/1 Cressida Wildes
