Has had headgear and Rab Havlin for all starts; second to Trueshan in this race last year marked his emergence as a Cup horse; produced late with the first-time visor (kept since) over 2m at Sandown in May to win his first Group race and he's shown even better form since in the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot (2m4f) and Goodwood Cup (head in front of Gregory); good chance.

30th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 12lb |
Sported headgear from the outset (also ridden by Rab Havlin all starts); won a handicap at this meeting last year on his way through the ranks; produced late with the first-time visor (kept since) over 2m at Sandown in May to win his first Group race and he did well to run on into third from well off the pace in the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot (2m4f, good to firm) next time, albeit 6l behind Kyprios; this race might pan out a bit more favourably. |

3rd 5 (9) |
20th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 2m 3f 210y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Probably acts on any going; sported headgear from the outset (also ridden by Rab Havlin all starts); gave Trueshan plenty to think about in the Doncaster Cup (2m2f, soft) last term in his first Group race; finished on the heels of Coltrane and Caius Chorister here on reappearance and narrowly turned the tables on the latter rival when produced late with the first-time visor at Sandown in another Group 3 four weeks ago; has a solid record but needs to find a bit extra. |

Tricky to settle; beaten a neck by Coltrane in this race in 2022 but he went one better against Sweet William in it in 2023; as in those races, he's usually been kept to ground softer than good, but he was allowed to take his chance on good going on last two starts, hammering his rivals in a Listed race at Sandown but finishing just over 4l adrift of Sweet William and Gregory in the Goodwood Cup last time; a staying star of previous campaigns but on this season's evidence he needs a bit extra.

30th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 12lb |
Tricky to settle; won this in 2021 and close third to Kyprios in 2022, while the 2023 Doncaster Cup and Prix du Cadran (made all) added to his haul of big-race wins; third to Sweet William at Sandown this May but hammered his rivals in a Listed race there (2m, good; usually kept to softer ground) on latest outing; this field demands far more again but he's not dismissed. |

1st 5 (7) |
5th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 2m 0f 50y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Three-time Group 1 winner, the latest the Cadran at Longchamp (2m4f) last September; this 8yo hasn't matched that form on either outing this season, but his latest performance still reads well in the context of today's race, as he was carrying a 7lb penalty when third of six in the Group 3 Henry II Stakes over C&D (soft) in May; can play a leading role if the ground suits (he's always been kept away from good to firm going). |

Ran respectably sole start on good to firm; 0-8 in Group 1 races but has won five lesser Group contests and he's a leading contender on form; impressive over the extended 1m5f at Chester in May, galloping on relentlessly; first venture beyond that when disappointing favourite at York (2m) three weeks ago but he's nevertheless back for more in the Cup races and over an even longer trip this time; interesting to see whether his backers return.

9st 5lb |
Ran respectably sole start on good to firm; 0-8 in Group 1 races but has won five lesser Group contests and he's a leading contender on form; brother to the very smart Broome, who won at up to 2m, but he's not himself been beyond the extended 1m5f of his impressive Chester win in May; galloped on relentlessly that day, so has to be of major interest. |

Versatile ground-wise; has several pieces of Group 1 form, respectable sixth in the Dubai Sheema Classic (1m4f) most recently; successful in the Huxley Stakes (1m2f Group 2) at this meeting 12 months ago; bred to stay this new trip, being a brother to Broome; respected back at Chester. |

Stalwart of the staying scene who won this race in 2022; however, disappointing performances have been in the ascendancy for a while now; perhaps excused his run in this contest last year, as that was on soft ground, but easily the best of his last six starts came when winning at Ascot this May in first-cheekpieces (kept since); big chance if he's back to that form.

30th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 12lb |
Stalwart of the staying scene who was fourth and third in the last two Goodwood Cups; however, some disappointing performances have crept in, as easily the best of his last five starts came when winning at Ascot this May in first-cheekpieces, which were also fitted when he was about 11l fifth to Kyprios at Royal Ascot in his one run since (kept today too); others preferred. |

5th 1 (10) |
20th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 2m 3f 210y Class 1 |

Stalwart of the staying scene whose good record at Ascot (sole blemish last October) includes a second in this race last year; easily best of last four starts came when cheekpieces were enlisted here on latest outing, holding on by a head from Caius Chorister; the headgear is retained and he's on the premises if the ground is no worse than good to soft. |

Took the 1m6f Queen's Vase from the front at Royal Ascot 2023; supporting roles in his six races since but the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot was his only flop; career-best form in the Goodwood Cup next time, beaten a head by Sweet William for second; third at York (again 2m on good) last time was not at that level but some of the stars of the division are missing today and he has to be considered seriously.

Took the 1m6f Queen's Vase from the front at Royal Ascot 2023; supporting roles in his five races since but the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot was his only disappointing show and he followed that with career-best form when third in the 2m Goodwood Cup late last month; effective here and he's one of the several leading candidates on form. |

Took the 1m6f Queen's Vase from the front at Royal Ascot 2023; ran creditably while put in his place on next three starts, including when third in the Yorkshire Cup at York in May when shaping as if further would suit; failed to prove that with a tame show in the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot (15-2), which was disappointing notwithstanding the 2m4f; this is his first go at 2m. |

Peak turf efforts on good to soft; tailed off in the Ascot Gold Cup last June on final 6yo start; surged back to his best when third in 1m6f Group 3 at York this July, having made smooth headway over 2f out, but always behind at 50-1 in the Ebor Handicap there three weeks ago; stays 2m2f but even his best form gives him a stiff task.

Peak turf efforts on good to soft; very productive and progressive for two and a half years before tailing off in the Ascot Gold Cup last June on final 6yo start; surged back to his best when third of eight in Group 3 over C&D six weeks ago, having made smooth headway over 2f out, but return to career-high mark seems to make this a difficult task. |
