Vaguely Royal
Third in his last three starts, but may not have achieved that much and remains without a win on the Flat since the end of 2023; others more compelling.

From the connections
“I rode Vaguely Royal at Chepstow last time, we made the running and a combination of him still being green and getting lonely in front cost us the race. We were very confident coming here today, I just wanted to make sure I got a lead. William was going pretty steady in front, I wound him up in plenty of time but he won cosily. He's not a slow horse and I wouldn't see him getting much further than a mile and a half - Kieran Shoemark, jockey.”
