Form & Verdict
Finished within 2l of the classy Cicero's Gift on the AW in March and went on to win his next two, including a C&D handicap last month with any amount in hand (on soft); assessor didn't hold back with a 14lb rise but this colt once had an Irish 2,000 Guineas entry and could easily be Group class; has run on only good to soft, soft and AW.

Won the Group 1 Queen Anne at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) last June; Ascot brings out the best in him but he's run well in defeat in Group 1s elsewhere since that last win, finishing fourth in the Prix Jacques le Marois in August (good to soft) and the Hong Kong Mile in December when last seen; drops back in grade today and he'll be tough to beat if close to his best.

Versatile as regards ground; has produced his top four RPRs at Ascot and reached a new peak in steadily run Queen Anne most recently, taking overall record there to 1132221 and managing to beat Rosallion narrowly despite rider dropping whip; back elsewhere he's no certainty to repeat the form, as sole Goodwood effort (below par) attests.

Couldn't lead, was drawn wide and perhaps found good to firm too fast when fourth to Urban Sprawl at Goodwood on latest start (7f); made all for his good-ground win at York (7f; stays 1m) the run before; shade exposed now and perhaps placed at best.

Zu Run

9st 7lb

J: Paddy Bradley

T: Mark Loughnane

His last win was at Brighton (7f, goof to firm) last May but that was off 11lb higher and he's shown signs of a revival on Tapeta recently; should get a good tow into this race and could be dangerous back on turf.

Zu Run

9st 9lb

J: Billy Loughnane

T: Mark Loughnane

Won a Brighton handicap off 9lb higher last May but he's finished down the field in ten runs since; he wasn't beaten far over C&D ten days ago but overall record is now 3-38 and others are preferred.

OR: 88

Form & Verdict
No threat in Group 2/Listed races after impressing in a 6f novice at Windsor last summer (good to firm; has run well on good to soft); comfortably held in two handicaps this season on either side of being gelded and has to rate an unlikely winner here.

Form & Verdict
His only no-show at two came in a valuable sales race when it's unlikely that he did himself justice; hit the ground running this season in first-time blinkers when coming readily clear off 8lb lower in a 1m Goodwood handicap (good to soft; also won on good); stable's Britannia winner two years ago also won the time before at that same track.

Impressive winner over C&D (good to soft) in the new blinkers last May and ran well in another change of headgear (cheekpieces) to be second at Ascot that summer (off 2lb higher); no headgear for this return but has been gelded and undergone wind surgery; major player if back to his best; proven when fresh.

Won handicap/seasonal debut in May in first-time blinkers and easily the best of his three runs since came when second at Ascot in first-time cheekpieces (kept since); kept to 1m this term and while not disgraced over 1m at Glorious Goodwood last time, he didn't shout that 1m2f is what's needed.

J: Dougie Costello

T: Marcus Tregoning

Good-ground 2yo maiden winner who scored on his handicap and seasonal debut over C&D (good to soft) in May, and bounced back from a lesser run on quick ground when runner-up at Ascot (1m, good to soft) last month in first-time cheekpieces (retained); his course form is a big plus and he's respected.
