J: Mickael Barzalona

T: J Reynier

Runner-up in this race in the last two seasons; those were run on soft going but he won a good-ground Group 1 at Meydan last year; failed to stay 1m2f at Royal Ascot latest and has each-way claims now back at 1m.

J: Flavien Prat

T: J Reynier

His last 11 races have been Group 1, winning one at Meydan (1m1f Dubai Turf) in March 2024; less competitive than usual in his three starts this January-April but never-nearer sixth of 11 back in the Dubai Turf last time was respectable; twice runner-up in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes over the straight 1m here on soft ground, plus third last year in the Sussex at Goodwood on good to firm, but he needs to show something new if he's to win this, as he's never been beyond 9.5f.

6l second in this last year (soft) and won the Group 1 Dubai Turf at Meydan (1m1f, good) this March; returned to form with creditable third of five in Group 1 Sussex Stakes at Goodwood (1m, good to firm) in July last time and he might not be far away.

Versatile ground-wise; French gelding who has form figures of 32321 since upped to Group 1 level; finished second to Big Rock in last year's QEII over C&D, then went one better in the Dubai Turf at Meydan (1m1f; held on narrowly) in March; could well build on that reappearance win and improve further; sire Ribchester won this race seven years ago (in course record time); very solid claims.
