Bit disappointing in similar event at Newmarket last time but otherwise a broadly progressive colt and can't be written off; ready winner of useful handicap at Newbury (7f, good) in his only other start this term.

Quotes
"Andrew Balding has always loved Stellar Sunrise and he won really well at Goodwood. This was always the plan and Oisin Murphy was so confident beforehand. I'd imagine we'll probably be looking at a black type race now - Harry Herbert, Royal Ascot Racing Club founder."

Sire landed the Woodcote on this card in 2019 en route to even better things; this is a thrice-raced Irish colt who has progressive 7f form, most recently 1l third in Listed race at Naas (good); strong credentials.
Comment
Thrice-raced Irish colt who has progressive 7f form; sire won on this card in 2019
Stable Tour
"He's a smart horse who won on his debut at Dundalk over the winter and had a very nice run at Gowran when second this month. We're looking at going to the Tetrarch next. 22-04-26"

Productive gelding, mostly over 6f and on AW; prevailed by a neck in Newmarket handicap (good to firm) back on turf last time, taking record to 7-12; has bits of 7f form, including at Listed level; in the mix.

AW scorer; 0-5 on turf but ran well in this year's Fred Darling and looked better than the bare form (met traffic issues) in York handicap most recently; this task seems to demand a personal best, however.
Comment
Has some encouraging turf form but this task demands a personal best

Picked up a lot of prize-money during a busy 2yo season but isn't totally solid on 2026 efforts and has probably already reached his ceiling anyway; seems unlikely defy a 3lb penalty and top weight.

Stable Tour
"He's been an absolute star, I can't remember having a two-year-old who won five races. He's tough and consistent and just a very likeable horse. He showed all those traits again in the Two Year Old Trophy at Redcar and we're going to roll on to the new conditions race on Champions Day. We're probably going to end up meeting the Mill Reef winner without a penalty. He'll go on any ground and he'll try his heart out. The stiffer 6f shouldn't be a problem as he only just got there over the sharp six at Redcar. 08-10-25"
Quotes
"Ardisia is such a trojan! He goes for it and I couldn't be happier. That's his tenth run and fifth win, with two thirds as well. Hugo [Palmer, trainer] said this morning he was in great fettle and goes on any ground - Jane Mairs, part-owner.We were drawn wide and I used up plenty of horse to get across but Ardisia travelled well and was only doing enough in the last 50 yards - Oisin Orr, jockey."

Won well at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) most recently but that was only a handicap off a mark of 70 and everything panned out perfectly for her; has the worst chance at the weights back up in class.
