Lightly raced 4yo who has come into his own in a major way; second on good to firm at Newmarket (1m4f) and Royal Ascot (1m6f) in his last two starts; has since changed hands and left the Gosdens; climbing the ladder and although another major step up is required against Dubai Honour on this move out of handicaps, he should be highly competitive against the rest.

Late developer who ran once as a 2yo; the waves made last season have gathered scale in handicaps this year, as he backed up his comfortable AW win (1m3f) with a length defeat by Daiquiri Bay at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm; led for the most part); he clearly needs to find more again (off 2lb higher) to gain his revenge on the winner but these Gosden runners have a tendency to get better and better; the stable has won this twice since 2021.
