Two Listed wins at about 5f - at York (good to firm) as 2yo and Chantilly (heavy) on comeback - but she needs to recapture form now back at 6f and, even if she does, others have stronger form at the trip.

Two Listed wins, over 5f as 2yo (good to firm) and on reappearance at Chantilly (extended 5f, heavy); best effort since the latter when just losing out in 5f handicap at Glorious Goodwood but she ran flat behind Star Of Lady M at York next time which tempers enthusiasm.

Far from solid on his form for current yard, raced mostly over 6f and yet to win on turf; enough to prove in this scenario; had wind surgery (his second) since last run.

Finished second of 20 on his stable debut/reappearance at York (6f, good) in May, but not built on it in three subsequent starts; won four times on Tapeta late last year including twice here, but they were over 6f and he hasn't raced over 5f since he was a 2yo; enough to prove; stable also runs Nazron.

Form & Verdict
38,000gns foal, 45,000gns yearling; first foal; out of a maiden half-sister to three useful performers including Prince Khurram (1m4f Flat/2m-2m3f jumps) and Subcontinent (8.6f-1m2f Flat/2m-3m jumps); has plenty of stamina on dam's side and he could be a longer-term prospect.

The return to soft ground and application of a tongue-tie appeared to help when he made a positive nursery debut at Doncaster (6f) latest, where he raced freely and kept on for third; drops 1lb and back in trip; likely to be involved.

Form & Verdict
February foal who cost 55,000euros as a yearling; ran green after an awkward start at Kempton (Polytrack; 6-1) two weeks ago but he kept on well to finish a 3l fourth of nine; that was a promising debut and he should know more this time; respected on this switch to turf.

Stablemate of Array; recorded a soft-ground win (5f) in the spring; behind Haatem in major 2yo races since but wasn't disgraced in the Coventry (6f) and the 7f trip may partly excuse his Superlative and Vintage efforts; not fully exposed at sprint distances.

Beat just two rivals at Leicester in April (5f, soft); ran quite well in the Coventry but has more than 2l to find with Haatem on that form and he was beaten appreciably further by that rival when not getting home over 7f in the Group 2 Superlative; clearly up against it unless he can find a surge of improvement from somewhere.
