Form & Verdict
The winner of two of his first three starts, notably a 1m4f handicap at York's Dante meeting in May; stamina looked stretched by 1m6f in the Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot (one position and over 1l in front of Circle Of Fire); leading contender back on trip with slower ground unlikely to be an issue judged on his Newbury run in April.

Form & Verdict
Won a Doncaster maiden on her second start as a 2yo (1m, soft; runner-up now BHA-rated 104); finished second in a French Group 3 on her reappearance but has been found wanting in top races in Britain since; far from disgraced when fifth in the Ribblesdale four weeks ago and the slightly shorter trip, allied to the forecast slower ground, brings her into the reckoning.

Seventh attempt at a Listed race saw her finally win one at Windsor (11.4f, soft) five weeks ago, switching to front-running in a small field and holding on by a neck; now searches for her Group-race breakthrough (she's run in six) and she has each-way claims.

T: Andrew Balding

Hasn't been able to win at Group/Listed level (0-12) since winning a maiden at two but posted a peak RPR when third of 14 in 1m2f Newcastle Group 3 last time; that entitles her to serious consideration back in a Listed race.

Form & Verdict
1m winner as a 2yo (good to firm); he has run to a fair level in his three starts this season but he's untested on slower than good and he has something to find with Chesspiece on their Royal Ascot run.

Won at Salisbury (1m, good to firm) last September on second start and reappeared with good Listed second at Newmarket (1m2f, good); no match for the first two when third in Lingfield Derby Trial (1m4f, AW) last month, but is in excellent hands to progress and today's extra distance could help.

Big-race entries; upped to 1m when justifying favouritism in novice at Salisbury (good to firm) in September, asserting in good style; second of seven in last week's Listed Newmarket Stakes (1m2f, good) was another sizeable step forward and his dam was a 1m4f AW winner; more to come.

Form & Verdict
Created a positive impression when winning at Haydock on his debut last September (1m, good to soft) and he followed that with a close third in a Group 1 in France one month later (1m, heavy); not at the same level on faster ground on his reappearance (1m2f, good); forecast slower conditions should help and he remains capable of better.

2-7 as 2yo, the first win on good to firm; not totally discredited when well-held fourth this season over 1m2f in a Listed race at Newmarket and Group 3 in Germany, but she needs much better than that and others have more striking potential.
