9st 2lb

J: William Buick

T: Charlie Appleby

High-class miler domestically and internationally, predominantly on good and quicker ground; lacked recent match practice when only fourth in this race 12 months ago; bagged the 2,000 Guineas and Sussex Stakes in 2024 and completed a North American Grade 1 double, including Breeders' Cup Mile success, last autumn; had no luck in running at Keeneland on reappearance; leading player on best figures.

9st 8lb

J: William Buick

T: Charlie Appleby

High-class miler who landed the 2,000 Guineas and Sussex Stakes last year; on several occasions he has shown a smart turn of foot, suggesting he is blessed with speed, and travelled like a colt who may well prove as effective over shorter; only fourth in two top races this term but reportedly worked well in a gallop last weekend, prompting connections to supplement him for this contest at a cost of £36,000; leading player on best form and the drop in distance is well worth exploring.

9st 2lb

J: William Buick

T: Charlie Appleby

Unproven on ground softer than good; won the 2024 Sussex Stakes (good to firm); disappointing behind Rosallion in the St James's Palace here last year but had beaten that rival in the 2,000 Guineas the time before and was virtually alongside him in this year's Lockinge when the pair lacked recent match practice; on balance they are closely matched, as the ratings reflect, and look set for another engrossing clash; big player.

9st 2lb

J: William Buick

T: Charlie Appleby

Record of 5-8 in his first season last year featured wins in the 2,000 Guineas (turf debut; beat Rosallion) and Sussex Stakes; disappointing behind Rosallion at Royal Ascot in between but is set for a fascinating rematch, with the scoreline between them 1-1 and nothing in it on ratings; respectable third in the Breeders' Cup Mile when last seen; big player.
