6th May 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Pretty useful form on debut (good to firm) and comfortably justified evens favouritism in a novice race at Ayr (1m, good) in September; made a small advance on that form when fourth of nine in a good conditions stakes here (7f, soft) on reappearance, and can build on that, but that record leaves him miles adrift of what others in this line-up have achieved. |

Kodiac colt; solid third in the Convivial Maiden at York (7f, good to firm; form has substance) on debut, then justified favouritism in comfortable fashion at Ayr (1m, good) in September; useful prospect for this year and looks interesting back down in distance. |

Group 2-winning juvenile; good first effort this season when a keeping on second in the Greenham at Newbury but never featured in the 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket; looks up against it here. |
14/1 |

6th May 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Unraced on firmer than good; progressed well over 6f as 2yo, ending with a French Group 2 win; brother to smart Wings Of War, who's spent virtually all of his career at 6f, and although this one stuck to his task very well over 7f on soft at Newbury two weeks ago, he was no match for the winner who is heading for the French Guineas, so this race looks a tall order. |
40/1 |

2nd 2 (1) |
22nd Apr 2023 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |

Progressive form over 6f last term; third to exciting Sakheer in the Mill Reef here on penultimate start, then won French Group 2 on soft ground; speedily bred but shapes as if he'll stay 7f; place claims on ratings. |

Landed the Goffs Million here in September; recorded a career best when a staying on fourth in the 2,000 Guineas after being hampered at the start; could easily play a hand at a track he clearly likes. |

6th May 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won a maiden on good to firm last June and took home a huge prize in sales race at the Curragh (7f, soft) in September; has stamina on the dam's side and can improve upon his respectable show at Newcastle (1m, AW) on reappearance, but Flight Plan had his measure that day; stiff task. |
100/1 |

3rd 7 (1) |
7th Apr 2023 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Won a small-field Goodwood maiden (6f) last June; well held in Group 2 events in next two starts but he resumed his progress in final two runs last season, including when landing the Goffs Million at the Curragh (7f, soft) in September; sets the standard on that form and he has shaped as though this new trip should be within range; key player on his reappearance. |

Enjoyed a fine season last year, winning the Tyros Stakes and the Criterium International, finishing second in the National Stakes too; ran okay in the Derby Trial at Leopardstown on his seasonal bow three weeks ago; back to 1m here on quicker ground is another test altogether; interesting runner but others preferred. |

9st 2lb |
Kept up a high level of form last year, winning the Richmond Stakes and getting within a head of Chaldean in the Dewhurst; was too keen in the 2,000 Guineas on his reappearance yet did not really get going until inside the last when a closing third between Hi Royal and Galeron; decent chance of getting his head in front here with that under his belt. |

6th May 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
6f Goodwood wins on good to soft and good to firm, latter the Group 2 Richmond in July; form dipped in the Gimcrack but he saved his best for last as a 2yo when coming from off the pace in Group 1 Dewhurst here (7f, good) and getting to Chaldean all the time but beaten a head; on that evidence he does not have that much to find on form and is well worth a go at 1m. |

Impressive winner of a good ground maiden at Naas in September; a little underwhelming since but that was all on soft ground and he could be a completely different proposition back on good ground here; respected. |

1st May 2023 Soft 1m 0f 0y |

Looked useful when making all to win a 7f maiden on debut at Naas last September; has a dirt-oriented pedigree but coped well with yielding-to-soft ground when around 3l third behind Aidan O'Brien's Cairo in the Killavullan Stakes at Leopardstown in October; handled heavy when chasing home another stablemate of Paddington at the same venue on seasonal debut . |
