Second in this last year on his reappearance and he's won three Group 1 races since (1m2f/1m1f, good to firm/good), the latest the Dubai Turf at Meydan in March on his sole outing this year; John Gosden has said that this is "going to bring him on to where we want him at (Royal) Ascot" but he'll be very tough to beat under a 7lb penalty if close to the top of his game.

J: William Buick

T: John & Thady Gosden

Record reads 11112121; has developed into a high-class colt this term and stormed past his pacemaker in the latter stages of the Juddmonte International at York (1m2f, good to firm) most recently, comfortably reversing Eclipse placings with Delacroix and adding to his success in the Prince of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot; top on ratings and may have an even bigger figure in him.

4yo who made it five wins from his first six starts when impressive in the Group 1 Prince of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm); headed in final strides by Delacroix in the Group 1 Eclipse at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) since, when a messy gallop may have been a negative; has a pacemaker today which should help in that regard and he's a very solid contender.

Ran well under a penalty in C&D Group 3 on reappearance for sole defeat (5-5 otherwise); subsequently impressive and value for more than the winning margin in the Group 1 Prince Of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot (good to firm) on first Group 1 attempt, trapped behind horses before eventually finding room and beating a solid opponent by 2l going away; looks well capable of following up, being top on ratings and still improving.
