Form & Verdict

Posted useful RPRs in winning 7f races at Haydock (soft) and Kempton (AW) but couldn't make much of an impression in the Acomb at York, albeit in a strong-looking renewal of that Group 3; in shallower waters here on handicap debut and not ruled out.

Left his debut run (5f, good) miles behind when winning at Haydock (7f, soft) later in May, form that was boosted subsequently; comfortably made all in another novice at Kempton (7f, AW) a fortnight ago on his first outing since; takes a steep rise in grade but arrives with considerable potential.

Both starts in May, latest upped to 7f at Haydock where he improved sharply on debut effort and beat the subsequent Superlative Stakes runner-up; this Dubawi colt sets a useful standard.

Form & Verdict

Probably his best form yet when beaten just under 3l on his nursery debut at York (7f, good to firm) and he has a 4lb pull with third-placed Qaseem; if the new cheekpieces can trigger something extra then he's highly likely to be in the thick of it.

Form & Verdict

Runner-up at Yarmouth (good to soft) and Ascot (good to firm; both over 6f) before justifying favouritism with something up his sleeve over 7f back at Yarmouth (good to firm) 24 days ago; looks to be going the right way and he contests this instead of Saturday's Group 2 Champagne Stakes; interesting.

Form & Verdict

His form figures are none too inspiring but his nursery debut at Sandown (7f, good) was encouraging as, after blowing the start, he did throw down some sort of challenge before weakening late on; still looks vulnerable in this classier contest.

Excellent debut when 4l third of eight in a decent Newmarket novice (7f, good) won by a subsequent Group 2 winner; bit disappointing when only sixth in a maiden over same C&D next time, but that could be a strong race (fourth won Ascot maiden next time); chance.
