Form & Verdict

Lightly raced 5yo who has won four of his 12 starts and his profile includes quality snippets of Group 1 form; a shade disappointing that he wasn't up to the job when favourite for a Goodwood conditions race on his reappearance, though that steadily run race over 1m1f on fast ground wasn't his ideal scenario; this race looks a better fit and he's the class act; won't mind rain.

Acts on soft and good to firm; smart performer who has bits of Group 1 form; didn't need to reproduce it when justifying favouritism in Listed event here (1m2f) last September, then came up well short in the Champion Stakes (wore tongue-tie/blinkers); peak figures give him a leading chance on seasonal debut.

Form & Verdict

Looks as good as ever and when again running well in the Group 3 Rose Of Lancaster Stakes at Haydock (1m2f, good to firm) he went down narrowly to a former Group 1 winner; versatile ground-wise and entitled to be right in the thick of it.

Form & Verdict

His Group 1 Champion Stakes entry looks ambitious but can put a line through his Royal Ascot failure and he's won 1m2f handicaps either side of that, with the front two (second unexposed) coming 13l clear last time at Sandown (soft); hard to gauge the ceiling of his ability as he's improving all the time; much respected.

Two wins from four starts as 2yo (the two defeats were his only runs on good to firm) and progressive on all three outings this term; ran on well from the back when fourth of 16 in London Gold Cup at Newbury (1m2f, good) and although dictating the pace helped at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft) on Derby Day, he also asserted in clearcut style; up 9lb and there's a ground question but 1m4f looks plausible and he's making impressive progress.

Form & Verdict

Well beaten in 1m/1m4f Group 2s the last twice, stamina looking a big issue last time; has the form to bustle up most of these having won a Group 3 last backend on soft ground, on which she's gained all her wins; significant rain would give her a squeak.

Unraced beyond 1m2f and peak form has come on soft ground, while she made no impact in the Group 2 Duke Of Cambridge at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm); however, she powered ahead to win the Group 3 Pride Stakes at Newmarket (soft) last October on her sole previous attempt at 1m2f, and there's stamina on the dam's side of her pedigree, so she's worth a go at 1m4f; ran well on good going at Sandown last September; interesting.

Form & Verdict

Beat this week's Great Voltigeur close third King's Gambit on last season's soft-ground debut at Newbury before finishing fifth in a French Group 1; this season started well and he had wind surgery soon after finishing fifth in a 1m2f Group 3 at Royal Ascot (good to firm); needs to find some improvement to collect on these terms but the potential is there (Group 1 QEII entrant).

Came from last to first in a four-runner renewal of this race 12 months ago and that was also on the back of contesting the Listed Wolferton at Royal Ascot, in which last year he suffered bad interference (dropped out) and this time finished a highly respectable fourth; may strip fitter for that first run of the campaign and a bold defence looks on the cards.

Formerly with Aidan O'Brien and runner-up in last year's Irish, 2,000 Guineas; has yet to repeat that form, though did get closer to it when the cheekpieces were added (joining tongue-tie) in a 1m1f conditions race at Goodwood (good to firm) three weeks ago; he was receiving 5lb from My Prospero as they crossed the line in unison; more needed here but rain won't bother him.
