RACING POST TIP

Revels

Seven of the last eight winners of this to have run before came into the race unbeaten, with six of those having won their only previous start. Curragh maiden winner Aix La Chapelle fits into that category and will be a major player in his bid to provide Aidan O'Brien with his eighth winner in the race, albeit with fellow Irish challenger Nola Soul having achieved just as much when making a successful debut at Leopardstown. Both are respected, while Newbury winner Aperoll is clearly highly regarded and makes the shortlist alongside impressive Musselburgh winner Time For The Moon. Joseph O'Brien's newcomer On Just Terms should be closely monitored in the market, but the vote goes to REVELS whose impressive Redcar debut success has since been handsomely franked by the reopposing Sword Salute. The stable took this with Holloway Boy in 2022.

What happened in the Chesham Stakes last year?

A race for juveniles whose sire won over at least 1m2f. Humidity was a gutsy winner for James Doyle and Andrew Balding. Breaking well and making all down the centre of the track, the son of Ulysses saw off the initial challenge of eventual third Moments Of Joy and then the late run of the second Thesecretadversary. Humidity was successful on debut at Newbury and went on to show good form in Group company for the rest of the season.
