Never So Brave tops the market for this wide-open renewal of the Hungerford. Andrew Balding's star won the Group One City Of York Stakes last term, but is winless during this campaign, and travels to Newbury on the back of a sixth-place finish in the Sussex Stakes.

Symbol Of Honour claimed his first victory of the season in the Hackwood Stakes here at Newbury, and represents Charlie Appleby again. Witness Stand remains over seven furlongs, having run well when third in the defence of his Lennox Stakes crown at Glorious Goodwood.

The leading three-year-old in the betting is Clive Cox's Coppull, who steps up to seven furlongs following a fourth-place finish in the July Cup. Extremely Zain could only finish fourth as the firm-favourite in the International Handicap, but still steps into pattern company for the first time. Jersey Stakes third Morris Dancer will also be getting six pounds from the older runners at the weights.

Pat Dobbs has been confirmed in the saddle of July Cup sixth Prince Of India. Hamad Al Jehani will be represented by lightly-raced six-year-old Holguin. Northern Champion and Sukanya could also represent the Classic generation. James Fanshawe's handicapper Back In Black rounds off the market.
