T: Charlie Appleby

Acts on good to firm, as he showed again when he finished strongest to be pipped in 1m6f Group 2 at Royal Ascot three weeks ago (Point Of Law a close fourth, Galiyan sixth); that was the second race in succession in which he's been beaten a nose, and his sole win from eight races came at odds-on (from newcomer Point Of Law) in a novice, but his form is on an upward curve and he brings proven stamina; looks set for another big shout.

J: William Buick

T: Charlie Appleby

Acts on good to firm; sole win from seven races came at odds-on in a Yarmouth novice in April from newcomer Point Of Law; useful form most starts and he lost out by just a nose in four-runner Listed race at Goodwood (1m3f; sole start in cheekpieces) last time, registering his highest rating; also likely to stay this trip but other candidates seem to bring more potential.

J: Tom Marquand

T: Charlie Appleby

Record is only 1-6 but he's consistent on bare figures and has two pieces of Group 3 form, last time fourth of five (not disgraced) in a Chester Vase won by the the colt who is now Derby favourite; possibilities, provided he takes well to first-time cheekpieces.

T: Charlie Appleby

Derby entry; progressive as 2yo (hooded three times) while always finding one or two too good for him, in the last instance when third behind two Aidan O'Brien-trained colts in Group 3 at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm); it's unlikely he had to reproduce that form when seeing off a newcomer by half a length in novice at Yarmouth (1m2f, good) on reappearance, at 4-7; not the most exciting on that evidence but likely to relish this extra distance.

J: William Buick

T: Charlie Appleby

Beaten favourite in three 1m novice/maiden runs but showed high level of ability; improved for the step up to 1m2f when finishing third of eight in the Group 3 Zetland Stakes at Newmarket when last seen; should have no difficulty winning a novice and he sets a high standard for his rivals to aim at.
