9st 9lb |
Yet to race on heavy, appears to act on any other ground; often hangs but he's a cracking horse and won this contest 12 months ago, albeit having been somewhat helped by the market leaders failing to show their form; subsequently absent until following up in the Hardwicke at Royal Ascot five weeks ago when taking record over C&D to 3-3; bids to defend his crown in a red-hot renewal but looks sure to give it his best shot. |

9st 3lb |
Won the 2021 Coronation Cup but proved no match for Hukum in same contest last year; finished in front of that rival at Meydan the time before, however; landed the 2022 King George over C&D (on fast ground) when last seen but the race fell apart with most rivals failing to show their form; had a couple of setbacks since and may need this outing to put him spot-on for another crack at the July showpiece. |

24th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Front-running Ballydoyle colt who held on narrowly from wayward Grand Alliance in the King Edward VII Stakes at this meeting last year (1m4f, good to firm; final 3yo start), following his fifth-place finish in the Derby; may still have more to offer and looks interesting back here with Chester reappearance (third in the Ormonde; seemed to need the run) under his belt. |

Raced mostly on good/firmer; solid 2022 campaign featured a C&D second, Great Voltigeur win and fourth in the Melbourne Cup; unable to repeat that form during a light 2023 season and below-form fourth in Group 3 at Chester with first-time blinkers on 2024 reappearance; sights are lowered. |

3rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Group 2 winner in 2021 over 14.5f, in 2022 over 1m4f and in 2023 over 10.2f; weakened right out of it at 10-11 in this race last year, admittedly on heavy going but there's perhaps a query over whether this trip is ideal any longer; best efforts last term (she made a satisfactory return over 10.2f this May) make her one of the form picks. |

9st 2lb |
Group 2 winner in 2021, 2022 and 2023, last year in this race (good) first time out; in fact her top two performances last term were at this track, as she went down by just a head in the Yorkshire Oaks (good to firm); respectable fifth on soft behind Bluestocking at Ascot in October when last seen; has good record after a break and sets the standard. |

21st Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 5f 61y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Has usually run in Group events, winning a Group 3 here (1m4f, soft) on 2023 reappearance; second in Group 2 at Deauville (upped to 1m7f, very soft) last August but no show in 1m6f handicap at Haydock (14-1) two weeks ago on his only start since, after which he seems best watched. |

7th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 6f 1y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Last nine races were Group events; career best winning a Group 3 at Newbury (1m4f, soft) on 2023 reappearance and second in Group 2 at Deauville (upped to 1m7f, very soft) last August was a major revival; absent since and needs to return at his peak but he's not fully exposed as a stayer. |

13th Jul 2023 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Quirky sort whose best effort came with clearcut Group 3 win at Newbury (1m4f, soft) in April, despite again hanging badly left in latter stages; no show in Group 2 at Royal Ascot (1m4f, good to firm; ran well with the same conditions there one year earlier) on his only run since; Ryan Moore rides him for the first time; major work to do even on best form. |

9st 3lb |
Successful in last year's Italian Derby when with a German yard; consistent efforts over 1m6f/2m at Meydan for new stable this year, most recently fourth in Group 2 contest; doesn't shape as if he's crying out for this return to 1m4f; faces a tough assignment on ratings to boot. |

29th Jul 2023 Soft 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
High-class performer who has claimed notable scalps in last two appearances, readily beating Pyledriver in the 2022 Coronation Cup (1m4f) then collaring last year's Derby winner Desert Crown in the Brigadier Gerard Stakes over 1m2f at Sandown two months ago (both on good ground); subsequently withdrawn from the Hardwicke because of good to firm going; has form figures of 131 over this C&D and a record of 3-4 on softer than good; strong contender. |
4/1 |

24th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Raced mainly on good/softer; multiple winner at 1m4f-1m6f; displayed surprising versatility by turning over Desert Crown in the Brigadier Gerard Stakes over 1m2f at Sandown last month, when having first run since readily beating Pyledriver in the 2022 Coronation Cup; solid record over C&D includes a handicap success at this meeting in 2020 and good third in this race the following year; better horse now and holds leading claims back up in trip. |

25th May 2023 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Four-time Group 3 winner in Britain who was having only his third crack at a Group 1 when hammering the rock-solid yardstick Pyledriver in last season's Coronation Cup (1m4f, good); sustained a serious injury at Epsom that has kept him off the track since; current wellbeing is a grey area and stepping up to 1m4f+ was the making him, so there are reservations. |
