Listed runner-up at Salisbury (1m) last August on second start, behind subsequent Grade 1 winner, then won Listed race at Haydock (1m); soft ground and the undulations may not have suited at Newmarket in the Royal Lodge; one of the leading form contenders on his reappearance and AW debut.

250,000gns son of Frankel; unraced on softer than good; won at Salisbury on debut and gave subsequent big-race winner New Century plenty to think about in three-runner, 1m Listed race at same course (1m); registered his own Listed success in eight-runner race at Haydock (1m) three weeks ago, travelling best and asserting in good style once he got in the clear, so he brings good form and plenty of promise.

Form & Verdict
Both starts at Newbury, better effort last time (6.5f, good to firm) when close second behind a Godolphin newcomer who cost 525,000gns at breeze-up sale and looks potentially smart; should have no problem with this extra yardage; sets the form standard.

Has been in good form in 6f handicaps this season, including second over C&D in April (good to soft) and third at Carlisle in May (good to firm); won his first race on turf when prevailing at Newbury last week (good to soft); has a penalty but sound chance.

A Southwell maiden win last summer remains his only success after 15 attempts but he has run good races in defeat in all three starts this year; conditions should suit well and he is more appealing than most.

Found only Realign too strong at Haydock (6f, good to soft) last autumn despite meeting trouble at a crucial stage, and he was back on the up when a neck second of 16 at Ripon (6f, good to soft) six weeks ago; reliable and has notably solid credentials.

Form & Verdict
Never figured over 5f at Ascot then proved suited by the longer distance at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft) where he finished fourth, albeit running to an ordinary RPR; needs to show further progress.

7f win for Ed Walker as a 2yo; modest form on Flat and over hurdles for new yard this year; Royal Ascot was fanciful latest and although this is more realistic, others still bring more compelling claims.

The majority of her starts have been at 7f but she kept on to finish fifth of 25 in the Sandringham over the straight mile here (good to firm) at last year's Royal Ascot; peak effort came on her return to this track when just failing to win 7f Listed event (soft; unlucky) in October but she'll need to put an underwhelming comeback behind her to make an impact in this first Group 2.
