    One of four runners for yard; won a 7f Curragh maiden on debut beating his better-fancied stablemate Giant Sequoia; reared in the stalls and withdrawn from the Chesham Stakes after; hung left in the final furlong when 3rd (placed 4th) in the Tyros Stakes here since; has a bit to find up in trip.

    Form & Verdict
    Finished 4.5l behind Green Dreamer on debut over 1m at this track but improved notably on that when running away with a Curragh maiden next time; pedigree is a mix of speed and stamina but has good prospects of staying this trip; seems to be his powerful yard's selected runner on jockey bookings so commands respect.

    Form & Verdict
    One of three runners for yard; improved from his Killarney debut effort when beating Shakespeare and Darkness Falls in a 1m maiden here next time; progressed again when a running-on third in the 7f Futurity Stakes at the Curragh since, just in front of Nola Soul; the step back up in trip looks sure to suit and he can be a big player.

    Second runner for yard; ran a fine race on debut when just denied in a 1m maiden here, showing signs of greenness when hitting the front; should be sharper today and can put up an improved effort with Colin Keane coming in for the ride.

    Form & Verdict
    Won a maiden on debut over 7f at this track, beating the subsequent Windsor Castle Stakes winner; did well to win the Chesham Stakes at Royal Ascot given how keenly he ran; was keen again when posting a similar effort in the Futurity Stakes last time; shapes as if he will stay this trip but will have to settle better.

    Was a close fifth to Nola Soul in the Chesham Stakes before running fine races in defeat in a pair of Group 2 races, Superlative Stakes at Newmarket and Vintage Stakes at Goodwood; easily won a maiden at Hamilton last time over an extended mile; looks like he will stay this trip and is a player.

    Unbeaten colt has won novice events at Doncaster and Sandown (both over 7f); posted an improved effort raised to a mile at Salisbury last time in a Listed race, showing a determined attitude; can get a bit worked up beforehand, but has ability and prospects of staying this trip, so considered.

    Fourth runner for yard; improved from his third in a Curragh maiden (7f) on debut to win at Galway over an extended mile; he beat Zarak Pasha narrowly that day and should stay this trip but has a fair bit to find on form with some of these.

    Third runner for yard; his first two maiden efforts included a narrow loss to Victory Speech at Galway but he went one better at the Curragh over this trip next time; won't lack for stamina but has a fair bit to find on form with some of these.

    Betting Forcast

    16/1 Aix La Chapelle, 7/4 Darkness Falls, 5/1 Green Dreamer, 14/1 Jesus Green, 6/1 Nola Soul, 12/1 Pikachu, 5/1 Quest For Stars, 14/1 Shakespeare, 16/1 Victory Speech, 16/1 Zarak Pasha

    Verdict

    Promoted to a Group 1 race this year, with the distance increased by a furlong. A competitive field but it seems telling that runaway Curragh maiden winner DARKNESS FALLS is the choice of Ryan Moore from the Ballydoyle quartet and he is taken to score. Green Dreamer could be the best of the Joseph O'Brien trio, while the UK-trained pair of Pikachu and Quest For Stars are respected. [Tyrone Molloy]
