9st 9lb

J: Tom Marquand

T: William Haggas

Has flourished in this much more substantial campaign, including with a win at Royal Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) and he gave the winner 5lb when a very close third of 22 to Daiquiri Bay in the Ebor at York (1m6f, good to soft); in the latter he led 2f out and boxed on well, so 2m is not out of the question and he's well worth this third go at a Group race (Group 3 second on penultimate start); each-way chance.

9st 12lb

J: James Doyle

T: William Haggas

2m Group 1 entry; lightly raced 4yo, unraced on softer than good except on debut; has flourished this term, winning in some style at Carlisle (1m3f) in May and Royal Ascot (1m4f; 10lb higher today) in June; backed up the latter form when second in a steadily run Group 3 at Goodwood and looks well worth a crack at 1m6f.

9st 3lb

J: James Doyle

T: William Haggas

Lightly raced 4yo who won at Carlisle (1m3f, good to firm) in May on his second start since being gelded and followed up in the Duke Of Edinburgh Handicap at Royal Ascot (1m4f, good to firm); he's by Frankel out of a Group 1 winner and could take this rise in grade in his stride; key player.

9st 7lb

J: James McDonald

T: William Haggas

Off 11 months after tailing off in a Group 2 at this meeting last year; shaped promisingly on handicap debut over C&D on return and firmly in charge through the final 2f at Carlisle (1m3f, again good to firm) three weeks later; trying to avoid trouble in running from stall 1 looks a headache today but zero shock if the 8lb rise underestimates him.

9st 3lb

J: James Doyle

T: William Haggas

Lightly raced 4yo; good fourth in Listed race at Goodwood last spring; gelded and off 11 months, shaped promisingly when third of 14 on handicap debut at Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) three weeks ago, doing his best work late on; nudged up 1lb but still looks seriously unexposed; strong claims.
