Form & Verdict
Largely progressive in his first season last year, winning two Group 3 events and looking the type to improve again this term; however, folded tamely and finished last of eight at Sandown (behind Dancing Gemini) on reappearance; may rebound but is hard to support on the back of that effort.

Trailed home last behind Dancing Gemini at Sandown on reappearance but left that effort well behind to reverse the placings in the Lockinge on good to firm at Newbury, rallying gamely to beat him by a neck and take strike-rate to 4-9; progressive in the main and further Group 1 success from this Juddmonte colt looks very plausible; figures highly in calculations.

Form & Verdict
Seems versatile ground-wise; very similar type to last year's star miler Charyn, having drawn a blank as a 3yo (still showed some good form) but commenced his 4yo season with wins in the Doncaster Mile (Listed) and bet365 Mile (Group 2) at Sandown, both times impressing with the way he travelled and quickened smartly; promises to take even higher rank in this division; connections have secured world-class Ryan Moore for the ride in this important next step; strongly respected.

Bright start to last season culminated in neck second when favourite for this contest; broadly not in the same form since, most recently last of six (behind two of today's opponents) when bidding for repeat success in Sandown Group 2; big revival is needed in first-time headgear.

Soundly beaten fourth in this last year (soft); an improved performer this season, winning Sandown Group 2 (1m, good) then going close in the Group 1 Lockinge (1m, good to firm); mixed form since, finishing down the field in the Queen Anne over C&D and also in the Moulin last time, but in between he was a close third in the Jacques Le Marois; each-way claims if on song.

Form & Verdict
Talented colt who travels and quickens and is suited by good ground or firmer; record is 5-7; sparkled in a truncated 2024 campaign that comprised a good second behind race-fit Notable Speech in the 2,000 Guineas then wins, looking better than the bare form, in the Irish equivalent and the St James's Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot; subsequently met with a setback that has kept him out of action until this eagerly awaited return; leading contender provided he picks up where he left off.

Went very close in the Group 1 Queen Anne at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) then narrowly failed to overhaul Qirat in the Group 1 Sussex at Goodwood (1m, good), with the shock winner having been gifted a clear lead; today's drop back to 7f isn't an obvious positive but this three-time Group 1 winner is a class act who will be tough to beat if the distance isn't an issue.

J: William Buick

T: Charlie Appleby

High-class miler who landed the 2,000 Guineas and Sussex Stakes last year; on several occasions he has shown a smart turn of foot, suggesting he is blessed with speed, and travelled like a colt who may well prove as effective over shorter; only fourth in two top races this term but reportedly worked well in a gallop last weekend, prompting connections to supplement him for this contest at a cost of £36,000; leading player on best form and the drop in distance is well worth exploring.

Unproven on ground softer than good; won the 2024 Sussex Stakes (good to firm); disappointing behind Rosallion in the St James's Palace here last year but had beaten that rival in the 2,000 Guineas the time before and was virtually alongside him in this year's Lockinge when the pair lacked recent match practice; on balance they are closely matched, as the ratings reflect, and look set for another engrossing clash; big player.

Won the Group 1 Sun Chariot (1m, good to soft) against fillies and mares last October before third in this (soft; beaten about 6l); some strong form in defeat in Group 1 and Group 2 races during a light campaign this season but there's a suspicion she's vulnerable against males in this hot Group 1.
