J: James Doyle

T: Andrew Balding

Stablemate of Array; recorded a soft-ground win (5f) in the spring; behind Haatem in major 2yo races since but wasn't disgraced in the Coventry (6f) and the 7f trip may partly excuse his Superlative and Vintage efforts; not fully exposed at sprint distances.

J: Oisin Murphy

T: Andrew Balding

Beat just two rivals at Leicester in April (5f, soft); ran quite well in the Coventry but has more than 2l to find with Haatem on that form and he was beaten appreciably further by that rival when not getting home over 7f in the Group 2 Superlative; clearly up against it unless he can find a surge of improvement from somewhere.

9st 3lb

J: Oisin Murphy

T: Andrew Balding

Had only two rivals to contend with at Leicester (5f, soft; evens) in April but he trounced them, improving significantly on his debut form; flying much higher today but the step up in distance should suit him well and his trainer landed the Coventry two years ago with Berkshire Shadow (ridden by Oisin Murphy); lively outsider.
