The feature Group Three Weatherbys Global Stallions Winter Hill Stakes (6:50) has been won in the last two years by Sir Michael Stoute and he will surely have the favourite in 2023 with the classy Passenger.
He was last seen well-beaten in the Derby after a troubled passage in the Dante Stakes at York and now drops down in class for this race – Richard Kingscote keeps the ride.

The Todd Pletcher-trained Forte is likely to head the betting for a red-hot Travers Stakes, having won five of his eight starts including a narrow victory in the Jim Dandy Stakes last month.
