9st 2lb

J: Colin Keane

T: John & Thady Gosden

Won three of his first four races before a staying-on sixth of 16 in the French 2,000 Guineas (1m, good) preceded a cracking effort when close third of 18 in the French Derby (10.5f, good to soft) in June; that step up in trip looked to suit but he flopped at Royal Ascot and didn't finish it off when only fifth of seven in Haydock Group 3 seven weeks ago; drops back to 1m with a question to answer.

J: Rossa Ryan

T: John & Thady Gosden

Staying-on sixth of 16 in the Poule d'Essai des Poulains (1m, good) in May and suited by the step up in trip when close third of 18 in the Prix du Jockey Club (10.5f, good to soft) in June, both of them French Classic races; the big problem is his flop at Royal Ascot (1m2f Group 3, good to firm) but he's one to take very seriously if that can be forgiven.

Staying-on sixth of 16 in the Group 1 Poule d'Essai des Poulains (1m, good; unraced on faster) last month and suited by the step up in trip when close third of 18 in the Group 1 Prix du Jockey Club 18 days ago (10.5f, good to soft; Trinity College a head further back in fourth); leading form claims.

J: Kieran Shoemark

Won 7f novice races at Kempton (Polytrack) last August/October on his first two starts, impressively on the second occasion; soundly beaten sixth of eight in Group 1 Futurity at Doncaster (1m, soft) next time but drops back in grade on reappearance and retains considerable potential for his top yard.
