Form & Verdict
When defying a penalty on second visit to Kempton (1m) he beat a subsequent Group 1 runner-up with the pair clear; no reason why he won't be every bit as effective on turf and difficult to gauge how good he is.

Tremendous progress last season; odds-on flop when rather forced to make the running in the Yorkshire Cup here on 2026 return; ran on nicely for a creditable sixth of 12 in a very strong Hardwicke at Royal Ascot (1m4f) next time but unseated leaving the stalls with a mishap in the Goodwood Cup (2m; 17-2); that leaves his stamina unproven but he stays at least 1m6f; unraced on softer than good to yielding; a leading contender if he gets this new trip and there's fair chance he will.

Two wins here in May initiated his tremendous progress last season; flopped at odds-on when he was rather forced to make the running in Yorkshire Cup on 2026 reappearance, but he ran on nicely for a creditable sixth of 12 in a very strong Hardwicke at Royal Ascot (1m4f) next time; stays 1m6f and has each-way claims if he gets this new trip.

Unraced on ground slower than good to yielding; disappointing favourite in the Yorkshire Cup on reappearance but that's his only blip in an otherwise progressive career; justified favouritism in the King Edward VII Stakes over C&D at this meeting (good to firm) 12 months ago, taking record at that time to 5-5, then ran well in the Irish St Leger and Breeders' Cup Turf; possibilities, provided his upward trajectory is resumed.

Form & Verdict
Only real blip in five runs at two was in the Royal Lodge and when sights were lowered for his comeback run he pushed a subsequent Listed winner close despite racing too freely; perhaps more exposed than some of these but has solid form claims.

Two quick runs at Glorious Goodwood three weeks ago, beaten only 2l when fifth of 20 on the Wednesday (7f, good to firm) then seventh of 18 in the Golden Mile on the Friday (good to firm) when he would have been closer with a clear run; it's possible he'll be involved; unproven on slow ground.

Ran encouragingly in a couple of races won by English Oak during his spell in Meydan and wasn't disgraced at Goodwood (7f) on Wednesday; however, still has a poor strike-rate as it's two years since his sole success; steps back up in trip/class.

Just one novice stakes win for Hugo Palmer but recorded plenty of good efforts, including when he split two subsequent Group winners in a 1m conditions race here (good) last May; didn't run badly in three of four starts in Meydan for this yard earlier in the year, but his British return from a 111-day break was underwhelming last month; might have needed that and he's not badly treated.

Cost 500,000gns as a yearling and holds a St James's Palace entry; won by clear daylight at Lingfield in November (7f, AW) but came up well short in the Group 3 Greenham (good) for which he went off at 14-1; this is easier than that and he retains potential.

Clear best in the 2025 Jersey at Royal Ascot (7f) but was pulled up (lost action) in only subsequent start last term and has failed to show his form this year; drop back to 6f had no effect last time; enough to prove.

7f AW win as a 2yo; enjoyed his finest hour when winning the Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm) 12 months ago; only seen twice since, pulling up at Goodwood last July and then finishing a remote last of five in a French Group 3 (soft ground) last month; not solid but he'll be a danger to all if back near that Jersey Stakes form.

Left his previous form way behind when a commanding winner of the Group 3 Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm); he needs to prove that level of performance was no one-off but the runner-up has since gone well in the July Cup and this 3yo is entitled to respect.

Steps up to 1m from 7f; narrowly justified favouritism at Southwell in March (AW) and improved plenty on that form to finish third in a conditions race at the Craven meeting (good); from the front there were no excuses that day, but his trainer was optimistic about the future in his recent Stable Tour.

Unraced on firmer than good; won debut on Southwell AW; close fourth on handicap debut there (1m) last October is markedly better than what he's done in three starts since, but he made late gains over 7f at Musselburgh on latest start to prompt some hope given today's step up in trip.

Successful 7f debut at Southwell; just a handful of starts since, showing useful form when fourth of ten on handicap debut in a warm race on Southwell AW in October only to run poorly next time; likely to come on for last week's Kempton run but now needs to show he can hack it on turf.

Tip-top pedigree; only narrowly did he make a winning debut at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) but improved to beat a consistent/useful rival at Nottingham (extended 1m, good) where he showed a tendency to hang left in the first-time hood but still won cosily; has no fancy entries but evidently very talented and should get better.

Added to his Rowley Mile debut win here as 2yo with a Nottingham novice success (8.3f, good) on his reappearance in April; only fifth when favourite for a 1m Goodwood conditions event the following month; subsequently gelded; also goes without the hood he's worn the last twice now handicapping after ten weeks off; Bedouin Prince has to be considered the yard's first string but this fellow retains potential.

Soft-ground debut winner who comfortably landed a Doncaster handicap (1m, good) last September; still looks feasibly treated on that form but he's been beaten 11l and 18l in Listed events in his last two starts; has bit to prove after another break and he's untried on AW.

Close second in his first two handicaps, then improved to win at Doncaster (1m, good) in September in dominant fashion; the latter form was not repeated when just 8-1 for the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket (good to firm) two weeks later but he still came sixth, perhaps stretched by 1m1f, and may still be open to progress; not dismissed.
