Form & Verdict
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.

High-class globetrotting 8yo at 1m2f/1m4f and very favourably treated at these weights; he did come up shy when favourite for the Group 3 Geoffrey Freer at Newbury (extended 1m5f; first run beyond 1m4f) but that's easily excused after 126 days off and on good to firm ground that was fast enough for him; he should be extremely hard to beat; ran second here as a 2yo.

T: William Haggas

8yo with high-class performances around the globe over 1m2f-1m4f but he's never been beyond that; below form in Australia in April when last seen but his performance there the time before was up with his best form; usually runs well after a break; there's a question whether ground firmer than good is ideal but he is very much the class act in this field.

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.

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.

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.

Has shown peak form, namely Listed wins on AW/turf, over 1m4f; however, may benefit from this drop back to 1m2f, having failed to see out his races this year, latest in May; gained the latest success after a similar layoff, around this time last year; leading player if back to best.

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.
