Form & Verdict
Kingman half-brother to six winners; really impressive in powering 3l clear at Sandown (7f, good to firm; 13-2) and his stable don't have many go in at the first time of asking these days; the first three were clear and the third has won since; could be anything.

Has been a smart performer on his day and his second of seven at Sandown (1m, good) in May was encouraging, but he has gone backwards from that; has run with credit on soft ground, but losing run now up to 17 and best watched for now.

Extremely well handicapped on his old form; it appeared to bode very well for this campaign when he was runner-up at Sandown in May on his second stable start, but he's failed to kick on and has something to prove.

Broadly disappointing since proving smart in his early days; form for new yard includes a couple of encouraging efforts but he dropped away rather tamely over C&D (race won by Dark Tornado) last time.

Form & Verdict
Became the first debutant to win at Royal Ascot since 1996 when coming from last to first in the 7f Chesham (good to firm); after travelling strongly, he very nearly followed up in the Group 2 Vintage at Glorious Goodwood (good) and the third has since won a French Group 3 and a US Grade 1; sets the standard.

He hasn't won as often as one of his ability probably should but he is a tough and reliable performer who was as good as ever with his excellent second of eight in a Group 2 at Ascot (1m, good to firm) 15 days ago; sets the standard and looks the one to beat.

Made a solid return to Britain when chasing home Jonquil in a Listed race over the straight 1m here (good to firm) in May but comfortably held in the Royal Hunt Cup back here since; has yet to win above Group 3 level and it's likely that will remain the case.

Runner-up in C&D Listed contest last time, maintaining his consistency; Royal Ascot record includes a debut success in the 2022 Chesham and creditable fifth (off 7lb lower) in this race in 2024; Jack Nicholls takes off a useful 5lb; solid contender who again should give his running.

Form & Verdict
Sole defeat came when narrowly beaten in the Group 2 Superlative Stakes at the July festival here (front two clear); the form of his subsequent Listed win at Newbury (7f) has taken some knocks but that was fairly straightforward and he's evidently going the right way.

Has earned top weight, being a useful colt who was a Listed scorer (7f, good to firm) last term; two creditable efforts over 1m2f in same grade this season; possibilities on handicap debut, provided he takes well to first-time headgear and stays the new trip (no guarantee on breeding).
