Form & Verdict
Gained his biggest payday when making all in the Group 1 Lockinge at Newbury (1m, good; 22-1) on his reappearance in May, first two clear, but there's a suspicion that he benefited from a well-judged front-running ride; unable to confirm the form with the runner-up Charyn under similar tactics in the Queen Anne at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) last month; return to 7f no problem and drying ground would suit, but the presence of other front front-runners could complicate matters.

Group 1 Lockinge winner in 2024 and Group 2 winner at Goodwood the same year; on a losing run since but his runner-up finish in a Leopardstown Group 3 showed definite signs of encouragement (7f, soft) when ridden by Keane for the first time; his wins came on good so if he repeats that latest run he is firmly in the mix.

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.

Grand campaigner who has won ten of his 30 starts, including two at the highest level and this race in both 2021 and 2023 (beaten a neck in 2022); made an encouraging return when second of 11 in a Group 3 at Newcastle (6f, AW) last month, but didn't take a step forward when only eighth of 11 in the July Cup at Newmarket (6f, good) 17 days ago (Art Power fourth); highly respected back here, though, and with the possibility of a contested lead the race could be run to suit.
