Postmodern was sent off 4/1 for the Coventry last year at Royal Ascot when down the field and not seen until reappearing in Dubai over the winter. Ran OK there but has been gelded since and makes his UK return from a mark of 98. I retain the faith that he's a pattern company horse and his yard couldn't be in better form, with 4 winners from 8 runners the last fortnight. Retained jockey has picked him from two in the race and I think even from near the top of the handicap he could have plenty in hand if the gelding op does the trick.

Pestered on the lead at Chester last time when running a rare poor race. I'd expect Gregory to be given a soft time after a long break so Al Qareem should be able to claim the lead and can dictate matters in his bid to win this race for a second year in a row. Defied a penalty last year and his record over C&D is two wins and a place from four visits. Has to concede the weight again which looks tough on ratings but he's a battler and I think will prove very hard to pass.

The pace looks to be on the high side with Gweedore, Sujet and Yanifer all in double figures. Extremely Zain could be a Group horse in the handicap but he's just had the two career starts and might be done for inexperience. Milford is drawn widest of all but posted arguably his best effort last season over C&D when 3rd from a mark of 93. Had wind surgery over the winter and returned from 200+ days off the track with a fair 6th at Thirsk last time. Yard have found some form and he's been dropped 2lbs for his last effort - should have a good chance from a mark of 89.

Station X has been well backed and running respectably over 5f the last twice but his 3 wins have all come at 6f so the step back up in trip in a positive. Made all when winning on the AW from a mark of 92 three starts back and similar tactics from stall 1 here at Chester can see him defy a mark 2lbs higher.

Won two races here last summer from marks of 78 and 85, both over C&D. Carried that form over hurdles before petering out and didn't seem to stay 16f back on the level last time. Drop back in trip will suit and his 7lbs claimer gives him a good racing weight - an affective mark of 82.

Has been hyped for this since his juvenile campaign and caught plenty of eyes despite only finishing 3rd in the Group 1 Futurity Stakes. Dominant at Chester when stepping in trip on his return and looks a well balanced horse with a good stride who should handle the unique test of Epsom.

A winner of this race two years ago before a poor effort last year, which in truth was part of a poor season. Changed yards over the winter and reappeared with a win from a mark of 78 (+ 7lbs claimer) and then followed up with a good 0.5L 4th LTO from 83. Raised 1lb which leaves him still well handicapped on old form (rated 89 when winning this) and the cheekpieces go on for the first time for his new yard (also in place when winning this).

Friendless in the market on her return at Listed level when finishing 3rd, with connections vocal that she would need the run. She proved herself to be a Group 1 filly last year and if coming on for that effort she should be able to comfortably claim this prize en route to the top table again later in the season. Still lightly raced and will appreciate any cut in the ground, she sets the standard.

Conditions have tipped this race in the favour of the Joseph O'Brien trained Alcantor who was a Group 3 winner on heavy ground when trained in France and should improve plenty for his stable debut which was his first start since October. Yard in good form and he could be the class act in these conditions.

Chance he might need the run but his Epsom record is exceptional having won on his first visit and then just touched off back in August. The winner that day is rated 9lbs higher and every horse bar one in behind has won since too. Bombed out with cheekpices applied on his final start but he clearly handles the track well (also has good form at Goodwood, another similar track) and is overpriced if ready to roll.

This looks a really poor renewal and Cameo makes the most appeal having won the Lingfield Oaks Trial by 4.75L on her first start beyond 8f. His stable have farmed this race but not always with the stable jockey pick and we've already seen Wayne Lordan win both the 1000 and Irish 1000 Guineas on supposed second strings. She only won once as a juvenile but was highly touted and after being friendless in the market she was hugely impressive LTO.

Won this race two years ago as a 4yo from a mark of 102 before going on to win another handicap and a Listed race in the same autumn. Ran in pattern company last year without success and drops back into a handicap from a mark of 108 on his seasonal return having had wind surgery over the winter. First time cheekpieces suggest this has been a target and he will relish the likely soft ground on his return to Epsom.

Freshened up after below par effort LTO but had been progressive on the AW prior to that, winning 3 times since the blinkers were added. Stall 2 will suit as he's likely to bounce out and go forward and I like the jockey booking too. A mark of 82 is a career high but race conditions will suit and he's overpriced.

On fast ground I'm happy to move past Estrange and Waardah who are both top class but like cut in the ground. Azaniya has also won on soft ground but looks just at home on a quicker surface and should come on plenty for her reappearance when 5th in France last month. Her trainer is in strong form and she can capitalise if Estrange struggles with conditions in what I'm sure will be a prep for future targets.

Hard to see past Talk Of New York for last years winning connections. Sent off 4/9 when only 3rd in a Listed race in Meydan but then bounced back in a first time hood to win cosily at Newmarket LTO.

We've already seen some of last years Classic generation claim good prizes in open company as a 4yo including Rahiebb who beat some of this field when winning the Group 2 Yorkshire Cup. Lazy Griff was a surprise 3rd in the Derby but showed that was no fluke when filling the same position in the Irish Derby 3-weeks later. The 4th in that race has won a Group 2 since whereas the two time Derby winner Lambourn bounced back from a couple of lacklustre runs to win the Group 2 Huxley Stakes over an inadequate trip on his return. Lazy Griff wasn't seen since the Irish Derby but I'm sure the team will want to test his mettle here and will have him fighting fit as he steps up in trip to 16f. In receipt of 6lbs from the favourite Sweet William he technically comes out top on ratings but with the prospect of more improvement at staying trips after just 3 starts last year.

It would be a shock but I think Hope Queen is overpriced here. Won a Listed race at Sandown last July and wasn't seen since but the 2nd that day won the Group 2 Pretty Polly by 6L on her reappearance. Hope Queen steps up to 8f for the first time which looks a positive on breeding (her sire Night Of Thunder won the 2000G and the Lockinge). Karl Burke won this two years ago albeit with a totally different sort in Fallen Angel and this twice raced filly is open to tonnes on improvement.

She's a real class act and despite not seeing out the trip in the Guineas she remains the one to beat back at 6f. Unbeaten at this trip as a juvenile, winning at Royal Ascot and then claiming the Group 1 Prix Morny when beating Gstaad. Hard to see her beaten and this looks a generous price.

I'm convinced he's well handicapped and hasn't been given a tough time for new yard in two outings this season. His 3rd over C&D last May was behind two Group 1 horses and came from a mark of 95 - he's 6lbs lower here (no 5lbs claimer on board) and should get a good tow in from We Never Stop in the stall next door.

There looks plenty of pace on offer and that should play to the benefit of Langstone for Clive Cox who has a fine record in this race, winning it twice since 2018. Won with plenty in hand last time and makes his handicap debut from a mark of just 87. Yard are in strong form (20% last 14 days) and he looks to have every chance.

She's very exciting, having won the Group 2 Lowther at York as a juvenile before finishing 3rd in the Group 1 Cheveley Park when ridden patiently and never on terms with the front two. The winner won the 2000 Guineas this term and plenty in behind have posted strong efforts suggesting that's the formline to stick with. Looks loads of pace on offer and a decent sized field so she should get a decent tow into the race and be finishing strongly from the rear.

His form is hit and miss, and unfortunately mainly misses since a mid season break last year including a poor effort on reappearance. His best efforts would put him right in the mix and he was just touched off in this race last year when sent off 2/1 fav. Won on his only other visit to Newbury and the fact connections persist at Group 1 level gives confidence they feel he can put his bad run LTO behind him.

Progressive throughout last season, with excuses for his effort in the French Guineas before bagging the Group 1 Moulin when beating Rosalion. If Rosalion was lining up here he would the short price favourite and Newbury will suit Sahlan much better than Del Mar did on his final start last year. His trainer is becoming the dominant force in international Group 1s and can bag another big prize here.

Only just prevailed on reappearance but should come on a tonne and she was massively inpressive when bolting up in this race last year by 10L. Her market rivals will improve for the run whereas this will have been a key target for connections and I expect a facile victory.

Has to shoulder a big weight from a mark of 109 but he loves it at York, with C&D figures of 1-2-2-1 in four starts. His win in this race two years who came from a mark 9lbs lower but he's been plying his trade in pattern company since including winning a Listed race and twice 2nd at Group 2 level. May find one too well handicapped but I'm sure he'll run his race and from stall 1 he can bounce out to make all down the rail.

We've seen low numbers come to the fore and I'm hoping that will continue into day 2 as I can't see any watering planned. Against The Wind was pitched into the Group 1 Abbaye as a 3yo on his final start last year which gives an idea of the regard connections hold him in. Ran well last year with a few blips a reached an OR of 102 as a result. Good reappearance before bombing out last time but has had a wind op since suggesting there could be an excuse and has the assistance of a 5lbs claimer in rare form. Stall 1 looks ideal for this forward going type who can bounce out and make all along the rail from an effective mark of 95.

3rd in this race last year behind two proper Group horses in American Affair (won Group 1 King Charles III Stakes) and JM Jungle (won Group 2 Qatar Stakes at Goodwood). Didn't get his nose in front last term but ran some respectable races in defeat and has seen his mark drop to 87 which is 8lbs lower than his 3rd here last year. He did have a 5lbs claimer in the saddle that day and has changed yard since. Draw could be against him after low numbers coming to the fore on day 1 but I'm having a small saver just in case.

I like Dark Thirty and he might well have been lined up by his new connections but I can't back him on what he's shown this season. Desert Falcon makes his reappearance after 235 days off the track but I fancy can pick up where he left off last year, winning at Doncaster before a neck 2nd in the Ayr Gold Cup. He's 4lbs higher here but ran really well on reappearance last year and has had wind surgery over the winter. Front runners often go well at York and despite being a 6yo he's still relatively lightly raced after just 18 career starts - I see no reason why he can't continue the progress he showed last term.
