Godolphin 8yo who hinted at retaining ability in Meydan contests early this year; it's a long time since he's shown solid British form but current mark is workable judged on peak performances.

Below best on final two starts last season and same story on sole run this term, in Qatar in February; also has a hefty mark to defy but this front-runner was a fine second under an enterprising ride in a Group 2 at Ascot last July and has a strong record here, finishing second in this race in 2023 and winning it in 2024; capable of very bold bid from the inside stall.

Often leads, as was the case when well clear at one stage before finishing close up in a 1m Group 3 at Chantilly a month ago; that was bordering on his best form and he could outrun his odds if getting loose on the lead.

Form & Verdict
Record of 3-7 on AW compared to just 1-13 on grass; however, the sole turf win came at Nottingham (1-1 here) and he has dropped to a workable mark; ran respectably in this year's Lincoln and didn't have the ideal track position at Newmarket later in April; has clear possibilities.

Runner-up twice in a row at Newcastle (7f/1m, AW) in March; handed tough assignment in Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot when back from a break (well beaten) but he's now just 1-17 on turf and others have more compelling credentials; wears a first-time tongue-tie.

Losing run goes back to 2022; did make a positive start for new yard when third (A Major Payne fifth) at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) last month but a subsequent no-show at Leicester needs forgiving; now sports a combination of a refitted tongue-tie and first-time visor.

Losing run goes back to 2022 but he has course form (7f) and new yard has inherited one who's dropped a long way in the weights; looked to be on the way back when third at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) this month; good claims.

Form & Verdict
Progressive filly who still has low mileage; completed an AW hat-trick during the winter, the latest win in valuable fillies' handicap at Lingfield (1m2f); could well have even more to offer; warrants respect despite lacking recent match practice, dropping back in trip and returning to turf.

Won three in a row on AW in the winter and returned to form with very close fifth in Newcastle handicap (1m, AW) 12 days ago; the return to turf poses a question but she has shown promise on grass and remains lightly raced; could have more to offer and she's not ruled out.
