Ran well under a penalty in C&D Group 3 on reappearance for sole defeat (5-5 otherwise); subsequently impressive and value for more than the winning margin in the Group 1 Prince Of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot (good to firm) on first Group 1 attempt, trapped behind horses before eventually finding room and beating a solid opponent by 2l going away; looks well capable of following up, being top on ratings and still improving.

9st 2lb

J: William Buick

T: John & Thady Gosden

Unraced at two but unbeaten in four starts last term, culminating in Group 3 at Longchamp (1m2f, soft; debut was on good to firm) where he quickened to the front and then looked as if he had more in the tank; Group 3 at Sandown (1m2f, good) three weeks ago saw him defeated for the first time but it was a highly positive reappearance in all other respects, against a serious, race-fit rival who received 3lb; that should have put an edge on him for this first Group 1 assignment and no surprise if he proves up to it.

Unraced at two; unbeaten in four starts last term, with two novice wins followed by a Listed race at Deauville (1m2f, good) and seven-runner Group 3 at Longchamp (1m2f, soft); odds-on for last three of those; quickened to the front last time once the gap opened and then looked as if he had more in the tank; should make his mark in big races this term.

J: William Buick

T: John & Thady Gosden

Picked up well to make a winning debut at Newmarket (1m, good to firm; 18-1) last month (fifth horse won a 0-100 handicap back there on Saturday); longer trip should be within range and he's likely to be hard to beat despite his penalty.

340,000gns yearling; half-brother to 7f winner American Belle (including AW; RPR 83); dam 7f AW 2yo/1m2f turf winner (79), sister to 1m Group 3 winner Runnymede and 8.5f/1m1f Listed winner Stipulate; market support on debut woud make him interesting, but Sword looks the stable's main hope.
