9st 2lb

J: Ryan Moore

T: A P O’Brien

Ran respectably on soft ground once, raced on faster otherwise; Ballydoyle colt whose record is 6-9 and who has form figures of 112 over 1m, the wins in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf (by a neck) and French 2,000 Guineas (by a head); ran well, albeit no match for Field Of Gold, in the St James's Palace Stakes most recently; solid contender who should be involved but has work to do to reverse placings with the Gosden colt.

9st 2lb

J: Ryan Moore

T: A P O’Brien

Ballydoyle colt whose record is 6-8; he is 2-2 over 1m, having won the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf (by a neck) on firm ground last November and the French 2,000 Guineas (by a head) on good ground last month; ties in closely with Field Of Gold on one piece of 2yo form; could well have even more to offer at this distance and is one of the main contenders, contributing to a gripping clash of Guineas winners; trainer has landed this prize nine times.

T: A P O’Brien

Beat subsequent Group 1 winners Hotazhell and Scorthy Champ in Group 2 Futurity at the Curragh; looked an awkward ride when failing to uphold form with Scorthy Champ in National Stakes; probably unsuited by soft ground when below form in Prix Jean-Luc Legardere; came good in style over 1m on quick ground at the Breeders' Cup.
