14:25 (York) Born Ruler

Born Ruler showed plenty of ability last month finishing a smart fourth tackling the higher graded 1m2f Zetland Gold Cup Handicap at Redcar and will be a serious player in the Queen Mother's Cup Handicap.

Maghlaak warrants thought with the jockey winning this two years ago. Went well a month back when a neck second contesting a lower standard course and distance handicap. Ticks plenty of boxes.

Financer posted a 3L third in a 1m2f handicap at Ripon. Runs off a good handicap mark. Shortlist on best form.

Serena Brotherton, who has won this event twice in the past ten renewals including last year, rides Heathen who drops in journey and looks one to note.

Star Of Mehmas lost nothing in defeat when collared late attempting the Listed Westow Stakes at York (5f) last time.

This Richard Hughes filly is three from four over the 5f trip and can return to winning ways receiving a nice draw in gate two for the Scurry Stakes.

Coto De Caza has not been seen since winning the 5f G3 Cornwallis Stakes at Newmarket as a two-year-old and might get firmly involved if ready to go, while Town And Country clearly rates next best.

15:00 (York) Absurde

Irish runner Absurde is a previous course and distance winner who arrives at the Race To The Ebor Grand Cup Stakes in strong form with a handicap hurdle victory at Plumpton preceding a smart third at the G3 Ormonde Stakes at Chester.

Alsakib rates highly being another track and trip winner. Not disgraced on return a month ago when fourth in the G2 Yorkshire Cup here.

Al Qareem stays well. Recorded a 1.25L second in the aforementioned G3 Ormonde Stakes at Chester and makes appeal along with El Cordobes who climbs in distance.

15:20 (Chester) Jouncy

Jouncy will appreciate the ease in standard following a sound fifth over 6f attempting the Listed Cathedral Stakes at Salisbury.

The Andrew Balding-trained three-year-old has leading claims racing among handicap company in the Ladbrokes Best Odds Guaranteed On Racing Handicap, and has Hollie Doyle in the saddle.

The progressive Double Rush bids for a hat-trick in the Macmillan Sprint Handicap following a victory attempting a similar level 6f handicap during April at Newmarket.
