90,000gns half-brother to Group-placed 7f 2yo winner Ornellaia; 14-1 for his Yarmouth debut (6f, good) two weeks ago but he was always prominent and made a bold bid before finishing third of 11 behind a Godolphin hotpot; sets a fair standard on that promising effort and he's the one to beat.

Ran his best race when keeping on for fourth of 24 in the Palace Of Holyroodhouse at Royal Ascot three weeks ago (5f, good to firm; cheekpieces first time); looked ready for the return to 6f on that occasion but is perhaps vulnerable to a few lurking further down the weights.

Zayer

9st 5lb

J: Hollie Doyle

T: Archie Watson

Didn't look obviously well handicapped ahead of his reappearance at Sandown in April and he was only fourth of nine despite being notably strong in the betting; again only midfield in a hot York handicap three weeks ago but that run was eyecatching, slowly away and in rear before finishing his race with a flourish (fastest finishing split); he wouldn't want to repeat the slow start today but he's dropped 2lb and this race could be more receptive to those held up; stable won this in 2023; won his only start on good to firm; strong suspicion there's a bigger performance looming and new cheekpieces could help.

Came up short in Group races after winning a Ripon maiden last August; notably strong in the betting on his seasonal/handicap debut at Sandown last month and ran creditably, albeit without looking ahead of his mark; could do with settling better if he's to come out on top here.

Upset in stalls and failed to settle when 7l fourth of seven on last month's debut at Ffos Las (6f, good to soft; 5-1); he may be the type to benefit from the first-time hood but he needs a significant step forward today.

Couldn't quite seal the deal having led over 1f out at Wolverhampton last week (8.6f); decent claims on that, though not sure it was solely the draw which contributed to a moderate effort on Nottingham's turf before that (RPR of 45 in his division versus Glitter Code's 62 in his).

Gelded after final 2yo start and well-backed second favourite for handicap debut at Southwell (7f, AW) on return, hanging over 1f out but doing his best work at the finish in a close third; 1m looks sure to suit and another step forward is likely if he proves effective on turf.
