J: Billy Loughnane

T: Charlie Appleby

Presents a dilemma as he looked a plausible Dewhurst prospect with his Group 2 Superlative win on the July course here (beat Italy) but subsequently flopped badly, finishing last of six, in the Group 1 National Stakes; chance partly depends on how well he responds to first-time headgear.

J: William Buick

T: Charlie Appleby

Dubawi colt, grandson of Irish 1,000 Guineas winner Gossamer; landed odds on debut in Sandown maiden over this trip in June and followed up in Group 2 Superlative Stakes at Newmarket, avoiding interference on near side then hanging left once hitting the front (beating Italy 1.25l); still a work in progress with likely more to offer and following the same path as yard's 2021 winner Native Trail.

9st 3lb

J: William Buick

T: Charlie Appleby

Dubawi colt who justified favouritism, with something to spare, in Sandown maiden (7f, good) that his stable won in 2021 with Native Trail who followed up in this contest; open to any amount of progress.

9st 7lb

J: William Buick

T: Charlie Appleby

Dubawi colt and closely related to 1m2f/11.4f winner Spinning Wheel (RPR 94); dam placed 9.4f-12.4f (74), closely related to useful 7f-10.4f winner Memory Cloth; the stable's top-class Native Trail made his winning debut in this race; highly appealing.
