Rediscovered his best with a visor added last summer, landing three handicaps, including at Ascot (7f, soft) off a mark of 103; cracking return when beaten 0.5l by Dreamliner in Group 3 at Saint-Cloud in March on soft; didn't come on as expected when beaten 7.5l into seventh by Wannabe Royal in Listed race at Naas 25 days ago; nothing got into it from off the pace that day so shouldn't be judged too harshly; handles soft and the one to beat. |

British raider rediscovered his best when a visor was added last June, winning three handicaps from five starts, the last being the valuable Challenge Cup (7f, soft) at Ascot; ran right up to form on his stakes debut in a Saint-Cloud Group 3 (1m, soft) for seasonal return when a close runner-up; entitled to improve for that and top rated. |

9st 11lb |
Has improved for this visor and he's readily won competitive 7f handicaps here on his last two starts (good to soft/soft); back up to 1m on forecast better ground today but his past record provides hope that he'll cope with both and this thriving 4yo may well take a 6lb penalty in his stride. |

Group 1 Lockinge winner in 2024 and Group 2 winner at Goodwood the same year; on a losing run since and ran poorly in Dubai in three starts this year; didn't fare any better at Haydock 33 days ago, fading tamely; hard to be positive about him currently. |

9st 10lb |
Group 1 Lockinge winner in 2024 but on a 12-race losing sequence and he ran badly on his last three starts in Dubai early this year; this is a drop in grade but he's proving increasingly hard to predict. |

Not disgraced in similar event at Doncaster last time but continues below his peak form, namely wins in the Lockinge and Lennox last term; still needs to raise his game. |

Tipperary maiden winner last year over extended 7f on yielding; backed it up when second to the smart Limestone on heavy at Listowel; returned this term with a clear career-best when 3.25l third to Thesecretadversary in Group 3 over C&D; didn't back that up last time out at the Curragh but each-way chance with conditions to suit down in trip. |

1-5 as a two-year-old, the win coming in a 7.5f (yielding) Tipperary maiden in August; huge step forward on latest when running on nicely for a 3.25l third in a Leopardstown Group 3 (Geryon and Iron Lily behind); step back up to 1m looks sure to suit; go well if handling this quicker ground (half-brother won on good to firm). |

9st 9lb |
Looked potentially smart when storming 4.25l clear in C&D maiden last year on second start; improved on that to be beaten 2l into third in this race last year, shaping particularly well on unfavoured side of the track; off since; open to plenty of improvement and a big player. |

8st 13lb |
Made little impact over 1m at the Curragh on debut on soft; left that effort well behind when bolting up in C&D maiden (good) four weeks ago, making rapid headway to close in on the leaders approaching the furlong pole before asserting in style; well worth his place in the field. |

Sole win came in Madrid Handicap at Naas (7f, soft) last year; best subsequent run came when beaten a neck by Diego Velazquez in Group 2 at the Curragh over same trip; started this year positively when 1.5l second to Big Gossey in Listed Gladness 75 days ago, deserving extra credit for where he came from; at his best on soft and big run expected. |

Ran nine times for Ollie Sangster, winning twice as a 2yo; best run for that stable came at Saint-Cloud (1m, heavy) when second in Listed; career-best on debut for this stable when winning Group 3 at the Curragh in April, worth more than the 0.5l winning margin suggests; backed up that run in less testing conditions when beaten 3l into seventh in Group 2 18 days ago; big shout back on favoured ground; down in trip. |

Won twice for Ollie Sangster at two, including a 7f Listed race at Sandown; began and ended last season with good runs in defeat (in the Nell Gwyn and a Listed contest at Saint-Cloud); sprang a surprise when beating stablemate Princess Child in a C&D Group 3 event on Irish debut; further progress is feasible. |

Two-time winner for Ollie Sangster in Britain, including Listed Star Stakes at Sandown in July 2024; last seen 145 days ago finishing 2.5l second to Moon Cloud in Listed mile contest at Saint-Cloud; trainer does very well with recruits, particularly fillies; acts on soft; interesting contender. |

Limerick maiden winner on soft; followed a poor run over 6f at Cork with a career-best at Naas (7f, gd) 25 days ago when making all in Listed race; needs to build on that and not guaranteed to do so; likely to go forward. |

Maiden winner over 7f for Joseph O'Brien on soft; ran well over that trip at the Curragh on seasonal/stable debut; poor over 6f at Cork last time; others more likely, especially on this ground. |

Maiden winner over 7f ran well over that trip on return in the Listed Gladness Stakes last week; has early speed so could cope with this trip but has loads to find with some of these. |
