Form & Verdict
Ended last season with a course 6f Listed win and has added a 5f Naas Listed win and a 6f Group 3 course win (on latest) to his tally this term; however, looks well held by Art Power on the basis of two clashes this season and would prefer an ease in the ground.

Former Flying Five winner reached a peak rating of 114 before losing his form in the latter half of 2024; missed all of last season; return in a C&D Listed contest last time was not totally devoid of promise when 4.75l behind Mission Central; may build on that.

Form & Verdict
An improver this year, 6f Listed winner at Haydock, went very close in Chantilly Group 2 over this trip; not beaten far in sixth behind Equality at Sandown; unlikely to be good enough judged on mid-field finish when 40-1 shot in the Nunthorpe, though had to race without much company then.

Usually races up with pace; fine sprinter over the years but the majority of his big wins have come at the Curragh, where he's won five Group races; well beaten over this C&D when last seen in November and, although he'd be dangerous on a going day, others seem more likely to give their running.

Sprang a 40-1 surprise in this race in 2023 and showed he's still capable of smart form when winning the Group 3 Renaissance Stakes at the Curragh (6f, soft) three weeks ago; however, he's some way down the pecking order on this year's form and others appeal more.

A regular visitor to these parts and has won here four times, including this race in 2021 and 2022; ran a blinder in the Phoenix Sprint Stakes over C&D on his seasonal reappearance last month; below best in Flying Five two weeks ago; could rebound stepped back up in trip.

Form & Verdict
Won the Coventry Stakes last season and made it 2-2 at the Royal meeting in the Group 1 King's Stand last time on his first attempt at 5f; he drifted left and inconvenienced runner-up Highfield Princess on that occasion and he failed to confirm form with the mare in the Nunthorpe, despite proving best in his group; rates the main danger to her now.

Initially raced over 6f but he found his true calling when dropped to 5f in the Group 1 King's Stand at Ascot in 2023, where he was last off the bridle and held a top-class rival at bay; unable to race as prominently in this next time (good to firm) when drawn away from the pace but still managed a good third to the front-running Live In The Dream; had a straightforward task in a Listed race at Deauville on belated return; bold show can be expected.
