Form & Verdict
110,000gns foal, by Ghaiyyath; 16-1 for novice at Newmarket (7f, good) in November, drawn widest and hanging right from 3f out but he stayed on nicely to be third of 15; has Dante and Irish Derby entries; in the mix on that debut form and could be a big improver.

Contested three Group races last summer; 1m4f handicaps (good to firm) this season, registering his highest rating when fourth of eight at Newmarket in May but backpedalling from over 3f out when just 9-1 at Royal Ascot; needs to bounce back in first-time headgear but his sights are lowered.

Ran creditably last summer in the Derby and two 1m5f Group 3s, while coming up well short; absent 259 days before his fourth of eight on handicap debut at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm; Hopewell Rock third) seven weeks ago, which was actually his best form and the first two also dominated a 1m6f handicap here on Tuesday, but he needs to build on that.

100-1 for the Derby at Epsom but showed improvement in making late headway from the back to finish eighth of 18 runners; similar form later last summer in Group 3s at Newmarket and Newbury; gelded in March and some improvement is needed but he is lightly raced and may be capable of it.

Late foal by Sea The Stars; last in a novice at Newmarket (1m, soft) in October but he nearly got to an odds-on favourite in maiden at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) in December, coming from mid-division to be second of 13; considered on that and he's open to further improvement.

Unraced on firmer than good; four placings from his six starts, including over this sort of trip in two novice events in April and a five-runner AW handicap on latest outing; wore cheekpieces in the latter and they are retained; he needs to find a bit extra.

His three placings from five starts include one over C&D; handicap debut at Doncaster five weeks ago came in a hot race and over 14.5f, which he may not have stayed, a creditable effort nevertheless but he surely needs better to win this; cheekpieces are enlisted.

Form & Verdict
Fitted with cheekpieces when ending well on top in a maiden at Newmarket (1m2f, soft; 9-1) in October and a novice over C&D (at 1-7; despite some interference) in February; this is a much harder task than last time but he's a useful prospect at the very least.

Form & Verdict
140,000gns yearling, late foal; showed promise at Newmarket (1m, soft) in October and justified 8-11 favouritism in four-runner novice at Wolverhampton (1m4f, Tapeta) three weeks ago; the latter was in tidy fashion and he'll be capable of better, but others currently have a better chance on form.

One win from 14 races; three seconds from five starts this year, beaten a head at Newmarket (2m, good to firm; made most) 18 days ago in first-time cheekpieces; they are now replaced by blinkers; last time he raced over shorter than 1m6f was in June 2025 but this isn't a strong race; good chance.
