Form & Verdict
Odds-on for a couple of 1m contests, showing a good turn of foot to win at Kempton (AW) then clear third at Meydan (Listed) where he did reasonably well having pulled hard in the early stages; may settle better dropped in trip with hood applied; holds a 2,000 Guineas entry (prominent in that market) and remains a promising colt.

Very promising colt who has a record of 3-4 overall and 2-2 since wearing a hood; above-average winner of the Heron Stakes at Sandown (1m, good; Listed) most recently, coming off strong pace set by a stablemate and storming clear to beat his closest pursuer by just over 5l; looks a Group 1 performer in the making, the way he's going, and it should be remembered that he was second-favourite in ante-post betting for the 2,000 Guineas prior to a change of plan; adds great interest.

Impressive at Kempton (1m, AW) last October on sole 2yo start and returned with close Listed third at Meydan (1m, good) before comfortable conditions race win at Newmarket (7f, good) where he settled better in a first-time hood (retained); that latest form hasn't worked out well but he is William Buick's mount of the four Godolphin runners and is a key player.

Built upon very promising debut (7f) when keeping on well for clearcut success at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) last month; can probably improve again on this return to 7f and has a big role to play.

Beaten at Chepstow on debut but looked far more with it at Lingfield (6f, good) when dominating from the front down the 'golden highway' up the stands' rail; would probably have beaten inferior opposition no matter how he was ridden, but that didn't smack of Royal Ascot-winning material; improvement is possible but it's certainly necessary.

Showed big promise in the autumn, finishing third over C&D then scoring impressively at Lingfield (7f, AW); beaten favourite in Listed event at latter track on reappearance but ran well in terms of form, despite a tardy start; open to further progress and remains of major interest.

J: Rossa Ryan

T: Ralph Beckett

Wide-margin Lingfield maiden winner (AW) who ran on for fourth in a 7f Listed race there on reappearance; hasn't confirmed that promise in three subsequent outings back on turf but a wide stall was always going to make life hard in a big field on 7f Goodwood handicap debut in May and it's possible he failed to stay 1m in the Britannia at Royal Ascot since.

All runs 7f, the win in an AW maiden in November; gelded after disappointing in a classy conditions race and his handicap debut at Goodwood (good) last time was fairly eye-catching when he had a wicked draw and saw his race out well (behind Pathein, Wechaad and New Monarch); not dismissed.

Far from disgraced in the Listed event won by Hilitany when bidding for a Lingfield AW double; disappointing at Newmarket, the scene of his promising debut, returned to turf last time (gelded since) and consequently has something to prove off his mark.
