Form & Verdict
Disappointing on slow ground at Leicester in June but that run is flanked by promising fourths at Ascot (5f, good) and Windsor (6f, good to firm; first run since gelded); he just about sets the standard on latest form; key player.

Yet to add to his 2yo maiden win in 2024 and this year's form for new trainer has generally been disappointing; not the most obvious answer.

1-30; well treated in the pick of last year's form, but his more recent efforts, including four for this yard, suggest a resurgence is needed.

Second foal; dam 6f 2yo/1m winner (RPR 84), half-sister to useful winners Faulkner (UAE 6f-9.5f dirt) and Fiscal (UAE 7f dirt), is granddaughter of 7f 2yo/1m4f Listed winner; has fair standard to aim at on debut and yard is 2-40 with 2yos this season.

Often front-runner who won at Leicester (7f, good) in April and over this C&D (good to firm) last month; bit below his best at Chepstow 17 days ago but soft ground may have been against him (also lost a shoe).

In fine form since returned to turf this spring, winning at Leicester (7f, good) in April and at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) ten days ago; up another 3lb but this gutsy front-runner is a likely player once more.

OR:

Form & Verdict
By Expert Eye out of a well-related 7f turf/1m AW winner; 80-1 for his Ascot debut (6f, good to firm) last month but he made some good late headway to snatch third behind two useful prospects; that form puts him firmly in the picture and he's respected.

Off the mark in a classified race at Windsor (1m2f) but he ran no race when 11-8 for another at Yarmouth (1m); capable of a big run off this mark should he return to anything like his best.

Consistent sort who gained a deserved first success in 11-runner classified event at Windsor (1m2f) 11 days ago; he's just as effective over this 1m trip and weighted to go well again.

0-16 but looked unlucky not to finish closer when third of nine in a 0-70 handicap at Epsom (8.5f, good to firm) last time; not certain to back that up but would be a player if he can.

Form & Verdict
60,000gns yearling; first foal; dam unraced sister to winners Princess Loulou (1m2f Listed; dam of 1m-10.5f Group 1 winner Nashwa) and Forbidden Planet (useful 1m2f/1m3f AW); has quite a bit of stamina on the dam's side and he could be a longer-term prospect.

J: Rob Hornby

Got the winning habit this season, winning narrowly four times, including here, and going 11lb up the weights; they all came in 0-50 and 0-55 company but it wouldn't be a shock to see him complete the hat-trick back from a two-month break.

Pretty consistent since the cheekpieces returned in November and the three wins in that period include 11-runner race at Brighton (1m, good to firm) last time; back up another 2lb and has to be considered.
