Asgard's Captain
Track regular who finished third in this race (good to soft) in 2024 and stayed on from the rear to be fourth in last year's edition; also won last season's Great Metropolitan over C&D (good) and got back in the winning groove when taking Newmarket handicap three weeks ago; latter success puts him on a career-high mark but he's unlikely to be far away.

From the connections
“I'm delighted with Asgard's Captain. He's won a Great Metropolitan Handicap for us and now this. I'm very happy. I got him off a rating of 63 and he's been rated as high as 91 now. That's the seventh race he's won for us. We've no plans beyond today, it really was the plan, but everywhere we go we have so much fun with this horse - Dylan Cunha, trainer.”
“John Egan rode him to finish third in the Northern Dancer on Derby day last season so I texted David [Egan] last night and said all you need to do is get instructions from your dad because Asgard's Captain can be quite a handful. David gave him a cracking ride. That was his Derby today and he's done well. Believe it or not he's going to the Northumberland Plate then he could go hurdling. We're two from two over jumps this season. We schooled him over hurdles recently and he was brilliant. He's an absolute legend and really versatile - Dylan Cunha, trainer.”
