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.

Group 3 runner-up in June 2024; nothing like the same force subsequently but some encouragement can be taken from his stable/seasonal debut in the Victoria Cup at Ascot, where he was soundly beaten overall but was first of seven in the group that raced initially on the far side; he's not ruled out.

Very promising early in career for his first stable but broadly hasn't lived up to expectations and his form went markedly awry last term for a second yard; big turnaround is required on debut for his third trainer; dismissed unless the betting speaks positively.

Runner-up in Group 3 at Newmarket last June and very well treated on that form; watch the betting, but he was tailed off last September on his final run for Sir Michael Stoute and has struggled for his new stable this season.

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.

His strike-rate is an unimpressive 3-26 but he's seldom far away and last October's excellent second in a top handicap over C&D preceded an AW Listed win; came up short at Doha and Meydan early this year but showed enough to suggest he should be on the premises.

This is his first run since April and he has a lofty mark, but he won a Group 3 at Haydock (1m, good) last September and has a history of running well off big weights in handicaps; likes it here; not ruled out.

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).
