Won debut last August and a 1m1f AW Group 3 at Chantilly in November; runner-up in British Group 3s in two other starts, one on good to firm last October and the other in Classic Trial at Sandown (1m2f) this April; that's not the best form in this field and he wasn't so good in the Dante at York in May on latest outing, but this lightly raced 3yo could still bring potential and William Buick seemingly prefers him to Arabian Light.

Dubawi colt who got up in the final strides to win 1m1f AW Group 3 at Chantilly on final 2yo start, taking record to 2-3; looks likely to be well suited by going up further in distance; doesn't have a Derby entry but further progress may materialise.

Owes this high a mark to his third in a Group 3 at Newmarket last September and he's threatening to go the wrong way, with his struggles continuing when trailing home last in the rescheduled Silver Bowl at Carlisle; the cheekpieces tried there are swiftly replaced by blinkers.

Won debut (7f, AW) and came third in Group 3 at Newmarket (7f, good) last September; however, he was last of seven in another Group 3 there (1m, good to firm) on final 2yo outing and beaten 10l in a conditions stakes at Kempton (1m, AW) on March reappearance; the latter was a hot race but today's first-time headgear for handicap debut needs to prompt a vastly better show.

Won on debut at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) last August before Listed fourth at Haydock (1m, good), and he rallied for close third in the Group 3 Autumn Stakes at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) last October when last seen; he's the only one of these who hasn't run this year and it's a tough assignment on his comeback, but his latest form reads well and he has potential at 1m2f.

The most experienced of these, having won Curragh 2yo maiden and twice campaigned in Group company, notably fifth in Group 1 Criterium International; underwhelming seasonal debut, however, in Epsom Classic Trial last month, weakening quite tamely final furlong; blinkers now tried and upped in trip.

He did have an entry in the St James's Palace and retains one in the Irish Derby; close up in a Group 3 last season (1m, good to firm) and ran well under top weight to be third of 17 on handicap debut at Goodwood (7f, good) where he was nearest at the finish after hitting traffic; by no means exposed and he is very much respected.

Thrice-raced colt who has useful 1m figures, most recently 2l third of four in conditions race at Goodwood (good); visual impression and pedigree both suggest this drop to 7f is worth exploring; still open to further progress and looks interesting despite conceding weight all round.

Won on debut at Listowel last September (7f, heavy); two of three subsequent starts have come in Group 3s over 1m at Newmarket (sixth of 7 beaten 3.75l) and on latest in first-time hood (retained) over 1m2f at Leopardstown (last of 5 beaten 5.5l); rated 99, so obvious chance on the figures in this lesser race.

Justified favouritism in a Listowel festival maiden (7f, heavy); may not have been suited by quick ground in the Group 3 Autumn Stakes at Newmarket; hooded after disappointing seasonal debut; making up the numbers for Ballydoyle here.
