Form & Verdict
Has speed and stamina in his good pedigree but was a weak 14-1 shot at Newmarket (1m2f, good) last April and he ran green before finishing a remote seventh of nine (gelded since); now returns after almost a year off and he's probably one for further down the line.

Cruised into contention and breezed clear for an easy win over C&D in January when last seen, taking AW record to 3-6 and looking a suitable type for this prize; could well defy a 9lb rise.

Form & Verdict
140,000gns sister to Group 3 winner Al Aasy (1m4f-1m5f; RPR 122); odds-on for a 1m2f novice at Newcastle (Tapeta) in February and she led inside the final furlong before forging clear to score by over 3l; this is tougher under a penalty but that was a promising start and she has plenty of scope for progress upped in trip; major player.

Sister to high-class Al Aasy; 1m2f wins in two of her three novice races; 11-2 in Group 3 at York (1m6f, good to firm) four weeks ago, racing freely and soon in close attendance to front-runner One Evening but both of them faded late on, behind Voodoo Queen among others; it looks as if this drop back in trip will help but others have markedly better form.

Evidently a late developer having been unraced at two and three; has shown a good deal of promise in novice events this year, with two wins over 1m2f (latest at Beverley) flanking a keeping-on second over 1m4f; brings clear potential to this Group assignment and has possibilities if she stays the new trip.

Won on belated debut at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in February and 4l second of four at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) last time, behind one who was very impressive when following up seven days later; this well-bred filly is a strong candidate for her top trainer, who is 6-20 (30%) here in the last five years.

Form & Verdict
Four defeats for Sir Michael Stoute, whom he left for 35,000gns; made a pleasing start for this yard when a close fourth over 1m4f at Kempton (novice) in February but he was pulled up on his hurdling debut at Newbury the following month; has bit to prove again with headgear added back on the Flat and he's not progressed in this sphere.

Polytrack hat-trick at 1m3f/1m4f this time last year (made all leg two/made most leg three); all but one of his starts since has been over 2m or over hurdles and he hasn't been finishing his races off, including following wind surgery last time.

Form & Verdict
0-7 at up to 1m4f in Ireland for Joseph O'Brien but he did post RPRs in the 80s on a couple of occasions; well-held fourth of six at Newcastle (1m2f maiden) on his stable debut last month but he was very weak in the market and shaped as though he needed the run; respected back up in trip.

Four wins at Newcastle when trained in Britain and won over this trip at Down Royal last summer; two low-key runs on first two runs for this yard but showed more when sixth of 19 at Navan last time; on a good mark if he can build on that.
