    No match for subsequent dual Group 1 winner Nashwa here in May, but went one better in another 1m2f Newbury Listed race next time; respectable fifth of eight when tackling 1m4f in Group 2 at Haydock (soft) 11 weeks ago, seemingly not beaten by the trip; needs better but she is a lightly raced 3yo.

    Cards dropped nicely in Group 2 at Newmarket (1m1f, good) in May; behind two of these rivals at the Curragh (yielding to soft) since, taking Group 1 record to 026905; however, this return to forecast faster ground is a plus.

    Runner-up at 25-1 in this race 12 months ago despite not getting a clear run at a vital stage; not beaten far in the Yorkshire Oaks or the Prix de l'Opera before unsuited by soft ground on Champions' Day; justified reprieve from retirement with Group 2 defeat of Roaring Lion at Newmarket in May; runner-up flopped at Epsom before redeeming herself at Royal Ascot.

    Form & Verdict
    Has spent most of his career in Group and Listed races; largely consistent and 1m6f helps to explain a lesser show in the Ebor Handicap at York on latest outing; likely to find one or two too good, though.

    Form & Verdict
    Cheekpieces enlisted (kept since) when he won Group 3s on his final two starts last season, from the front in this race on second occasion; took a small-field Group 2 at Chester this May and it's possible to argue he's been stretched by 1m4f on both starts since; gave trouble at the stalls on those last two appearances; very reliable in form terms but apparently does not have the best chance at these weights.

    Best 3yo form came over longer trips, including Queen's Vase win; however, he's made the running back at 1m4f on last two outings and his Group 3 second at Goodwood last time was career-best form; each-way player.

    Raced mostly on good/firmer but ran well on soft once in France; broke a losing sequence when dropping from Group races to a five-runner Listed event at Newmarket (1m4f) seven weeks ago on latest outing; has proven stamina and plenty of form that would see him seriously involved.

    Raced mostly on good/firmer; losing spell goes back to his Queen's Vase success two years ago but he has shown smart form on occasions since, including in Group races at Meydan this year; has the advantage of recent match practice, unlike Al Aasy and stablemate New London; runner-up in this race 12 months ago; can't be dismissed.

    Progressive even before he was gelded and hit a major new high when winning a valuable handicap at Newmarket (1m4f, good to soft) last October; while he has not repeated that high-class form, he easily won a 1m6f Listed race at Meydan in January and was a respectable third in Saudi Arabia in February; absent since but has a huge shout if firing on all cylinders.
