Globetrotter who has won several Group races internationally, notably two at the top level in Australia; below best when returned to home soil for last two outings in 2023 but this is a big drop back in class; beat all bar Mostahdaf in Group 3 here on sole AW attempt; top on ratings.

Started his campaign with a 1m2f Listed success on Kempton's Polytrack and struck for the third time at Group 1 level in the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud (1m4f) in June; another good effort in top company on the continent when second at Baden-Baden (1m4f) in September; Group 1 penalty to shoulder but a potential cut above.

J: Tom Marquand

T: William Haggas

Globetrotting middle-distance performer who is a Group 1 winner in Australia and France, most recently in the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud (good to soft) last month; likely set for a supporting role in this field, being 0-5 (form figures 24646) at the top level on British soil.

Form & Verdict
Very progressive (on AW/turf) in 2022, producing form figures of 2111 that culminated in a comfortable win at Salisbury; gelded during his subsequent absence; interesting contender, assuming he can pick up where he left off; market confidence would be particularly encouraging.

OR: 109

Form & Verdict
Successful in similar event here (1m4f) five months ago, beating a subsequent Group 1 scorer and taking Kempton record to 2-2; still has low mileage and /looks the type to improve further this term; should be as effective back at 1m2f; strongly respected, even with 3lb penalty.

7l Listed win over C&D (good to firm) last September; there are also plenty of lesser shows to be considered and, after he was not discredited in Qatar in February, he managed only fourth of six when favourite for Group 3 at Newbury 13 days ago; in the mix on peak efforts.

Seventh attempt at a Listed race saw her finally win one at Windsor (11.4f, soft) five weeks ago, switching to front-running in a small field and holding on by a neck; now searches for her Group-race breakthrough (she's run in six) and she has each-way claims.
