9st 7lb

J: Kieran O’Neill

T: John & Thady Gosden

Highly tried after trouncing Almeraq in a Yarmouth novice (6f, good to firm; receiving 7lb) last June, finishing second in the Jersey Stakes nine days later and not beaten far in the July Cup the following month; finished his 3yo campaign quietly but possible he'll kick on again this year.

Posted a personal best when a close seventh to No Half Measures in the July Cup at Newmarket, but hasn't repeated the form in two runs since (both at 7f); faces a stern assignment, even if returning to his peak, but at least this drop back to sprint distances looks a positive move.

9st 1lb

J: William Buick

T: John & Thady Gosden

All turf starts on good to firm; took his first step backwards in the Hungerford Stakes over C&D most recently; ran well in the Jersey Stakes and July Cup, and holds a leading chance provided he rebounds.

9st 3lb

J: Robert Havlin

T: John & Thady Gosden

Front-running second in the 7f Group 3 Jersey at Royal Ascot on the fourth of his five starts; being supplemented into the Group 1 July Cup at Newmarket (6f, again good to firm) resulted in only seventh of 14 but it was improved form, going down by just under 3l, and he rallied well after making most on far side; player on that and he may be capable of further progress.

Spy Chief

9st 2lb

J: Robert Havlin

T: John & Thady Gosden

Supplemented for this race at a cost of £36,000 and he's the least exposed contender, having raced only four times (all this year); soon clear and wasn't for catching over 6f at Yarmouth on penultimate start, then good second over 7f in the Jersey at Royal Ascot; takes another step up in class but is open to further progress and could make a bold bid from the front.
