Form & Verdict
Created a good impression so far, winning both AW starts over 7f and 1m (beat a subsequent wide-margin winner at Kempton last time); enough in pedigree to suggest he'll handle these different conditions and high on the shortlist, despite conceding weight all round.

Seven races and improved with each one; raised to Group 1 last autumn for his only defeats, when second in the 1m6f Irish St Leger and fourth in the 1m4f Breeders' Cup Turf; one of the top two on form and should have a big shout.

T: Ralph Beckett

Sole 3yo runner and a smart one at that, unbeaten in five career starts, notably this year twice at Goodwood and when showing good attitude to hold off subsequent Group 3 winner Zahrann in 1m4f Group 2 King Edward VII Stakes at Royal Ascot; has had a break since and unknown territory here in terms of trip and ground.

9st 2lb

J: Rossa Ryan

T: Ralph Beckett

2-2 last year (7f/1m, AW) and remains unbeaten following two commanding wins at Goodwood (1m/1m3f; good, good to firm in places) last month, the latest a Listed race; he needed a mid-race reminder last time and may not be straightforward, but found plenty in the straight and holds leading form claims.
