J: Billy Loughnane

No win since the 2024 Bahrain Trophy at Newmarket but runner-up in Listed race at Goodwood (1m2f, good to soft; beaten a neck) and Group 3 at Newbury (1m4f, soft) last autumn; below-form 5l third in 1m4f Kempton Listed race (AW debut) in December when last seen; wears first-time cheekpieces; Buick seemingly prefers Arabian Light.

J: Billy Loughnane

T: Charlie Appleby

Group 1 winner at two but, unlike Dubai Honour and Shader, he's unpenalised thanks to finishing second rather than first in Group/Listed company since the end of March; major form claims and he's a fascinating contender tackling AW for the first time (his brother and half-brother both won on it); trainer won this with Rebel's Romance in 2023.

J: William Buick

T: Charlie Appleby

Group 1 Futurity winner (on heavy ground) on this weekend as a 2yo; smart form on his day in a mixed record since, this season's plus points being his close second to Al Aasy in April and the narrow defeat when finishing strongly in Listed race at Goodwood last time (first run as a gelding); they were over 1m2f but last season's best efforts were at 1m4f and 1m5f; player if this is another of his good days.

T: Charlie Appleby

Group 1 winner (on heavy ground) as a 2yo; fell short of Classic standard last term but bagged Group 3 honours and ran well at that level on penultimate start (1m2f, good; at Sandown); gelded since facing a stiffer task in the Coronation Cup; leading player on ratings.
