James McHenry
Course winner who was runner-up in the 2024 Cambridgeshire but has been lightly raced since; his keeping-on fifth of 12 over 1m1f at Musselburgh in April suggests most of that ability remains but he failed to build on it tackling 1m2f for the first time when fourth at Redcar (good to firm) four weeks ago; first-time cheekpieces worn at Redcar are retained.

From the connections
“You'd have to be delighted with that performance. James McHenry was beaten by a better-handicapped horse today and he was beaten fair and square. We can't be anything but proud of him - Ed Bethell, trainer.”
“The Britannia was the race in the back of my mind at the start of the season. I've not had a runner at Royal Ascot so far but I have seven or eight possibles this year, including a nice two-year-old who hasn't run yet. Callum thinks James McHenry could go up to a mile and a quarter but a stiff mile could be his next alternative - Ed Bethell, trainer.”
