J: James Doyle

T: John & Thady Gosden

First-time blinkers when he was a very taking winner of last year's Copper Horse Stakes (1m6f, good to firm) at this meeting in which he came from well behind to win going away; gelded and, in no headgear, returned to that level of form when third in Group 2 at Newmarket (1m4f) on reappearance, only to then finish last of the five in new cheekpieces (retained) in the Group 3 Aston Park at Newbury; however, the first two home at Newbury were Group 1 horses, and on reflection it wasn't that bad a run; the burning question is whether he'll stay.

Sahara King

9st 7lb

J: James Doyle

T: Richard Hannon

AW winner in November on debut and, coming from the back, good form in defeat this season; no real threat to Evanesco in five-runner handicap at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm) on penultimate start but better when launching a strong challenge for the London Gold Cup at Newbury (1m2f, good) last time, losing out narrowly in a duel with Lost Boys; both Newbury principals have since been snapped up by Wathnan Racing; up 6lb but cheekpieces go on (perhaps some hesitation in front last time) and he's one to take seriously.

Realign

9st 1lb

J: James Doyle

T: William Haggas

Made favourite but lacked experience when tackling the 5f handicap here last June; better form when winning at Haydock (6f, good to soft) last September and, after a low-key reappearance at Newmarket, he impressed when winning at Carlisle (6f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) recently; 1lb well in under a penalty; looks a smart prospect.

The Prettiest Star

9st 0lb

J: James Doyle

T: Ed Walker

Went down narrowly in Group 2 Rockfel at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) on second 2yo start and ran at least as well when fourth in the 1,000 Guineas there (1m, good to firm) on reappearance; should cope with today's drop back in distance and it's unlikely she's reached her ceiling just yet; leading contender for last year's winning stable.

Flora Of Bermuda

9st 2lb

J: James Doyle

T: Andrew Balding

Third in this race last year (good to firm) and also in the Group 1 Sprint Cup at Haydock (6f, good) in September; reappeared with Listed win at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) last month and that form has been franked by the runner-up Rosy Affair; each-way player.
