9st 3lb

J: Ryan Moore

T: A P O’Brien

Campaigned mainly on good/firmer; normally a very solid performer; beaten favourite in the Moulin last time but that's the only time he has finished out of the first two; winner of the Irish 2,000 Guineas and would have landed three other major 1m races this term but for the presence of his esteemed nemesis Bow Echo; sticks to this distance instead of going for the Champion Stakes, which was the plan until a late switch-around with stablemate Constitution River; major contender, assuming he's back in top form.

J: Ryan Moore

T: A P O’Brien

Rock-solid performer whose success in the Irish 2,000 Guineas is flanked by good efforts behind Bow Echo at Newmarket (beaten almost 3l, pair well clear) and Royal Ascot (nearly collared him); admittedly the bare result last time may not be fully reliable, given the way the race panned out and the stiff 1m; however, this smart colt is certainly reliable, having never finished out of the first two, and is again an important player in another rematch with his nemesis.

T: A P O’Brien

Very solid performer who continues to improve steadily and has never finished out of the first two; readily landed the Coventry at this meeting 12 months ago and has performed well at Group/Grade 1 level since, most recently registering a 3l success in the Irish 2,000 Guineas at the Curragh, taking record over 1m to 2-3; clear best of the remainder behind Bow Echo at Newmarket earlier in May and should give the rematch his best shot.

Beat stablemate True Love on debut before landing the Coventry Stakes; second in three consecutive Group 1 races, including the National Stakes and the Dewhurst; ended the campaign by overcoming a wide trip in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf at Del Mar (1m, firm); has evidently trained on and can go one better than in the 2,000 Guineas by upholding form with Distant Storm.

J: Ryan Moore

T: A P O’Brien

Proved rock-solid as a 2yo, readily winning the Coventry at Royal Ascot (6f) then posting form figures of 2221 at Group/Grade 1 level, including in the Dewhurst at Newmarket (7f) when doing well considering he was free to post and in the race; ended the campaign by overcoming a wide trip in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf at Del Mar (1m, firm; won with something to spare); supplemented (effectively re-added) into this at a cost of £30,000 having been removed in late March due to a clerical error; leading contender in his bid to end a 2,000 Guineas drought for Aidan O'Brien, who has landed this Classic a record ten times but not since 2019.
