3yo campaign featured wins in the Chester Vase and Geoffrey Freer, plus good second in the St Leger; appeared to need his Newbury reappearance run and should be spot-on for this return to the Roodee; leading player provided there's no jar in the ground (underperformed on good to firm last year). |

21st Jul 2023 Good To Soft 1m 3f 15y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
1m winner as a 2yo (good to firm); he has run to a fair level in his three starts this season but he's untested on slower than good and he has something to find with Chesspiece on their Royal Ascot run. |
7/2 |

4th 3 (5) |
21st Jun 2023 Good 1m 6f 34y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won at Salisbury (1m, good to firm) last September on second start and reappeared with good Listed second at Newmarket (1m2f, good); no match for the first two when third in Lingfield Derby Trial (1m4f, AW) last month, but is in excellent hands to progress and today's extra distance could help. |

3rd 1 (7) |
13th May 2023 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Big-race entries; upped to 1m when justifying favouritism in novice at Salisbury (good to firm) in September, asserting in good style; second of seven in last week's Listed Newmarket Stakes (1m2f, good) was another sizeable step forward and his dam was a 1m4f AW winner; more to come. |

18th May 2024 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Very promising at two (Listed/Group 3 winner) but well beaten in the Dante at York on sole 3yo start and fared no better in 1m2f Sandown Group 3 (Desert Hero second) on reappearance three weeks ago; has lots to prove at present. |

Ran just once last year, when well beaten in the Dante at York in May (finished lame); gelded since; very promising 2yo in 2022, landing the Group 3 Zetland Stakes at Newmarket (1m2f, good) that October, and it will be no surprise if he returns with a big performance for his leading yard. |

24th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Won handicap at Epsom (good to soft) on Derby day and good second from the front in Group 3 at Goodwood (good to firm) three weeks ago, both 1m4f; third in 1m6f Listed race at York in between might suggest limitations for today's task but trying to come from off a steady pace will have counted against him, so he's not fully exposed. |
12/1 |

2nd 5 (1) |
3rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Better than ever when readily winning competitive handicap at Epsom (1m4f, good to soft) on Derby day; not seen to best effect in steadily run Listed race at York last time and could have the same problem today, while there's a question as to whether he's fully effective on fast ground; however, this progressive 4yo could yet have more to offer and is not ruled out. |

Verdict
Flying Honours and Circle Of Fire are respected on certain counts but they have something to prove on the forecast slow ground, while Relentless Voyager goes into deeper waters back on turf. That leaves SALT BAY and Arrest who both ran well on heavy going at Saint-Cloud last October and bring Group 1 form. Slight preference is for Salt Bay, who represents last year’s winning yard and is open to plenty of further progress having raced just twice.[Steve Boow]
