Form & Verdict
Well bred and looked a very smart prospect in making light work of two 1m4f novice events (Kempton/Newcastle), defying significant greenness on the first occasion; those wins have earned him a high mark but an Ascot Gold Cup entry bodes well; gelded since last seen.

J: Frankie Dettori

T: John & Thady Gosden

Won his first four starts, culminating spectacularly in the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot (2m4f, good to firm) which was decided in a final-furlong duel with Coltrane; has to give that rival weight today, however, and needs to bounce back from muted show in the Goodwood Cup (won by Quickthorn, on good to soft) 24 days ago; a return to better ground may help.

Form & Verdict
Has won on four of his five visits to this track and returns on the back of a career-best performance over hurdles in a warm handicap at Haydock; perhaps handicapped about right but has to be seriously considered.

T: Gary & Josh Moore

Last month's down-the-field finish in a valuable Flat marathon is easily overlooked and he reverts to hurdling on an attractive mark but he's on the downgrade and has become inconsistent; soundly beaten twice in cheekpieces last season and now tries blinkers; hard to predict.

All British Flat wins (five of them) have been at Goodwood but the last four were on soft ground, latest in June 2025; sixth in this race in 2023 and fifth last year, both on soft; last August saw his only run on good to firm in the last three years and he wasn't discredited, but he needs to step up on this year's efforts, particularly as he's 4lb out of the handicap.

Ran creditably in sole Sandown attempt (four years ago) but is still seeking a first British Flat success away from Goodwood; modest third there last time in a race he'd won in 2022.

Form & Verdict
Dual 1m4f winner for Andre Fabre and was competitive in staying Group races for that yard; was competing at level weights when behind Global Heat in all three Dubai starts this year and these terms offer him a sporting chance of being more competitive; has been gelded and now hooded; dangerous to discount.

Form & Verdict
Appreciated the step up to 1m6f, first-time cheekpieces and soft ground when narrowly taking a valuable handicap at Haydock last July; yet to find any further improvement but, despite the absence of headgear, it was a nice return he made when a staying-on fifth at Ascot (1m4f, soft; just behind Sir Rumi); if happy on the ground (won on good to firm earlier in career) then he should be involved.

Form & Verdict
Hasn't won in Britain since 2019 but was scoring for a second time at Meydan in a 1m6f Listed race there in January; not disgraced in Group races the last twice (1m6f/1m4f), but on British form this mark looks tough.

Grabbed the favoured stand rail when winning on soft ground at Epsom and a 4lb rise seemed to find him out at Ascot (again 1m4f on soft); may be vulnerable once more, though this faster surface won't faze him.

Won at Epsom (1m4f, soft) in April and good third at Ascot (1m4f, soft) next time; conditions should have been fine at Goodwood (1m6f, good to firm) last time but he was only sixth of eight and may find this too hot.

Form & Verdict
His French wins were over 12.5f, 1m2f and 9.5f, with an overall strike-rate of 3-7; 75,000euros buy in November; probably needs his best form yet to defy this mark on his British debut and he lacks a recent run.
