J: William Buick

T: William Haggas

Steps up further in class but he has progressive York form and brings impressive stats, being 3-4 over C&D (gained last win cosily in good-ground Listed race) and 4-9 in headgear, which is reapplied with Newmarket reappearance under his belt; has a better chance than bare ratings suggest.

J: Tom Marquand

Has form on the Newmarket tracks but recorded last three wins at York, including when beating Crestofdistinction with more in hand than the narrow margin suggests in Listed grade on most recent appearance; likely to be more interesting when back at that venue.

Came from the rear for a head second in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot (head second) and very close fourth in the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood, both 6f on good to firm; there's a bit more to be proved on this likely surface and beyond 6f but he has to be high up the list.

Third in 6f Group races at the Curragh on his last two starts (good/good to firm), most recently behind Big Mojo; he likes slow ground but that's not enough of a positive to suggest he'll be a serious player today, as he has quite a bit to find with the principals.

Won last year's Greenlands Stakes here, battling well to beat another British challenger, with Big Gossey a little unlucky in a close third; struggled in two Group 1s in the autumn; out of the money on seasonal debut at Doncaster in March; more like it in his repeat bid in the Greenlands, splitting Big Gossey and Bucanero Fuerte; relatively light campaign may stand to him now.

Group 1-class sprinter at his best but it's been a struggle this season since an encouraging start at Listed level and he now has his sights lowered for a first crack at a handicap; has a lot of weight and perhaps better at 6f than 5f.

Yet to win this season but took his form to a new level when fitted with blinkers for last two runs, looking unlucky not to finish closer than sixth in C&D Group 1 July Cup before running on well for second in 7f Newbury Group 2 (also good to firm) last Saturday; eased in grade today; the one to beat.

C&D win as a 2yo; took a while for things to fall his way this year but his win at York (6f, good to firm) in July was followed by a second-place finish in the Stewards' Cup; ran two fine races at York's Ebor meeting (not ideally drawn on first occasion) but he clearly needs more to defy this mark; talented apprentice's 5lb claim is helpful.

Form figures of 22216 at York; Wednesday's sixth can be upgraded as he was comfortably on top of those drawn high; returning to 6f should suit and he is proven on slow ground, for all that his best efforts have been on good to firm; high on the list.

Second in the 6f Group 2 Mill Reef Stakes as a 2yo; shaped really well when fourth in the 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) on return, fading after disputing lead until over 1f out; that form has worked out notably well and this intermediate distance should suit him down to the ground; strong contender.

Showed useful form over 6.5f and 6f at Newbury (good/good to soft) last season, winning a maiden by sizeable margin then clear second in the Mill Reef (Group 2; hung left; collared near the finish); good prospect for Jim Boyle this term but doesn't appear to be crying out for 1m.

Close fourth in the Commonwealth Cup over C&D (good to firm) 12 months ago and readily won the Group 3 Summer Stakes against fellow fillies at York (6f, good) last July; last month's comeback third to Flora Of Bermuda at Newmarket gives her something to build on but others are more compelling.

Group 3 winner over 6f at Ascot as a 2yo and she ran her best race of the year back there when fifth of 22 in the Commonwealth Cup in June; has had excuses since and although she should have plenty to find at this level in only her second 5f run, at least the track will suit her front-running style.

Kept good company as a 2yo, winning Group 3 Princess Margaret Stakes at Ascot (6f, good); unplaced in four runs this year but her close fifth in the Commonwealth Cup was a personal best; down the field at York last month but she raced alone towards the stands' side and that isn't the run to judge her on; big player.
