Form & Verdict
Half-brother to last year's winner Lionel; strong in the market at 5-2, he created a striking impression when accounting for three previous winners with a nice bit in hand at Haydock (1m3f, good); good looker from a prolific family who is open to any amount of improvement.

Took the 1m6f Queen's Vase from the front at Royal Ascot 2023; supporting roles in his six races since but the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot was his only flop; career-best form in the Goodwood Cup next time, beaten a head by Sweet William for second; third at York (again 2m on good) last time was not at that level but some of the stars of the division are missing today and he has to be considered seriously.

Took the 1m6f Queen's Vase from the front at Royal Ascot 2023; supporting roles in his five races since but the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot was his only disappointing show and he followed that with career-best form when third in the 2m Goodwood Cup late last month; effective here and he's one of the several leading candidates on form.

Took the 1m6f Queen's Vase from the front at Royal Ascot 2023; ran creditably while put in his place on next three starts, including when third in the Yorkshire Cup at York in May when shaping as if further would suit; failed to prove that with a tame show in the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot (15-2), which was disappointing notwithstanding the 2m4f; this is his first go at 2m.

Form & Verdict
600,000gns yearling who is a half-brother to Queen's Vase winner Kemari; accounted for a subsequent Chester winner when getting up in the nick of time at Newbury (1m3f, soft) and his trainer's patient approach would suggest he can find plenty on that initial effort; entered in the Group 2 King Edward VII.

Won 1m3f maiden (soft) on debut last April; improved form in defeat in Listed race and 1m5f Group 3 on next two starts, before a lesser show in Group 3 last August; given wind surgery three days later and reappeared with creditable fourth of 13 in handicap here (1m4f, good) one month ago; has a bit to find but today's longer trip can suit and this lightly raced 4yo remains open to progress.

Form & Verdict
Entered in the King Edward VII and Northumberland Plate; AW maiden winner last year; shaped like a strong stayer when close up behind the Dante fifth Epictetus in a Listed race at Epsom (1m2f, soft) and appeared to find conditions too testing in the Chester Vase (1m4f); remains a colt of some potential.

Narrowly denied a fellow newcomer (unraced since) at Gowran (1m1f, soft) before coming up well short in the Leopardstown Derby Trial (1m2f Group 3, soft to heavy); highly likely that he's up to Listed level at the very least and is unexposed under these conditions.

Won his novice comfortably on the AW (1m2f) but still looked up against it in a 1m3f Listed event at Goodwood (good) and duly came up a long way short; it's hard to enthuse over this sort of mark and he's well down the pecking order.

3 yo Colt

Form & Verdict
Limitations have been exposed at Pattern level since winning his maiden here over 1m2f, and he was a far bigger price than Hadrianus when tailed off behind that rival in the Chester Vase; not easily recommended in a first-time tongue-tie.

Useful on the Flat, won 1m4f Salisbury handicap in 2023 off a mark of 88; more off days than on in the meantime but soft ground no help on recent yard debut after nearly two years off; worth a market check off a very low mark now back on more suitable ground; cheekpieces refitted.

Form & Verdict
Strong late on to justify favouritism in a 1m novice at Haydock (good to soft) before finishing a never-threatening four of nine in a 1m2f Group 3 at Newmarket; gelded in the spring and he's no doubt more than ready for this stiffer test of stamina, as his pedigree would imply.
