Form & Verdict

Withdrawn due to the ground (good to firm) at Glorious Goodwood three weeks ago and has still raced only on softer than good; impressive in 1m handicaps at Bath and Musselburgh in April; hasn't lived up to expectations in Listed/Group races since and this looks a difficult assignment.

Form & Verdict

Pulled up in the Queen Anne two months ago when having first start on good to firm ground; his Group 2 form includes a Longchamp win last September and good effort behind leading miler Charyn at Sandown on seasonal debut; interesting back at this level, granted a suitable surface (best on softer than good).

Solid record over 1m until comfortably held in good-ground Lockinge on first Group 1 attempt; possibly not up to this level but may rebound granted ideal conditions, namely softer than good; his other races at this trip comprise five wins and two seconds, including a good effort behind Charyn at Sandown in April.

Acts on soft; has form figures of 1111122 over 1m, including two Group wins in France; closely matched with Charyn on Sandown running last month (gets 3lb pull with that rival); the cheekpieces applied that day are retained; generally progressive and again holds solid claims.

Form & Verdict

Seems to handle any ground; record of 2-4 since joining current stable and wearing a hood, the wins gained in C&D Listed contest (gamely) in May and Curragh Group 3 (in clearcut style) last month, both against her own sex; faces a stiffer task in this field but may have more to offer.

T: James Tate

Her wins have come on soft/heavy but she has form on good to firm; found major improvement in a hood when winning at Goodwood (1m Listed) on stable debut and she didn't get the breaks when a close third behind Breege at Epsom (Group 3) last time; has her sights raised again in this Group 2 but she still has potential as a miler and could be dangerous.

Form & Verdict

Acts on soft and good to firm; has the makings of a Group performer judged on his smart handicap form this term, notably close second off top weight in the Royal Hunt Cup; prominent for a long way in the Sussex Stakes over C&D most recently, fading only inside the final furlong; major player back down in class.
