Form & Verdict
When defying a penalty on second visit to Kempton (1m) he beat a subsequent Group 1 runner-up with the pair clear; no reason why he won't be every bit as effective on turf and difficult to gauge how good he is.

Seven races and improved with each one; raised to Group 1 last autumn for his only defeats, when second in the 1m6f Irish St Leger and fourth in the 1m4f Breeders' Cup Turf; one of the top two on form and should have a big shout.

Sole 3yo runner and a smart one at that, unbeaten in five career starts, notably this year twice at Goodwood and when showing good attitude to hold off subsequent Group 3 winner Zahrann in 1m4f Group 2 King Edward VII Stakes at Royal Ascot; has had a break since and unknown territory here in terms of trip and ground.

2-2 last year (7f/1m, AW) and remains unbeaten following two commanding wins at Goodwood (1m/1m3f; good, good to firm in places) last month, the latest a Listed race; he needed a mid-race reminder last time and may not be straightforward, but found plenty in the straight and holds leading form claims.

Form & Verdict
Only real blip in five runs at two was in the Royal Lodge and when sights were lowered for his comeback run he pushed a subsequent Listed winner close despite racing too freely; perhaps more exposed than some of these but has solid form claims.

J: Jason Hart

3yo who returned to form with very close second to Sir Paul Ramsey at Haydock (1m, good) three weeks ago on his second run since being gelded; back up 4lb today but still of interest after that latest performance, provided conditions suit (unproven on slow ground); wears first-time cheekpieces.

Cost 500,000gns as a yearling and holds a St James's Palace entry; won by clear daylight at Lingfield in November (7f, AW) but came up well short in the Group 3 Greenham (good) for which he went off at 14-1; this is easier than that and he retains potential.

Left his previous form way behind when a commanding winner of the Group 3 Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm); he needs to prove that level of performance was no one-off but the runner-up has since gone well in the July Cup and this 3yo is entitled to respect.

Runaway winner at Lingfield (7f) last autumn but has not built on that, always in rear when dropped in trip for Listed sprint at Newbury last month; this looks a stiff task but at least returning to 7f should help.

J: Tom Marquand

T: Ed Walker

Won by clear daylight at Lingfield (7f, AW) last autumn and ran pretty well in the Group 3 Greenham here on reappearance; gave the impression he failed to stay 1m when third in conditions race at Goodwood since; improvement required but today's drop in trip could be a catalyst for just that.

Form & Verdict
Steps up to 1m from 7f; narrowly justified favouritism at Southwell in March (AW) and improved plenty on that form to finish third in a conditions race at the Craven meeting (good); from the front there were no excuses that day, but his trainer was optimistic about the future in his recent Stable Tour.

Has been unable to sustain early progress and is 0-7 since debut success; ran respectably on penultimate start and is on a reduced mark but chance of doubling his tally largely depends on the effects of first-time headgear.

Unraced on firmer than good; won debut on Southwell AW; close fourth on handicap debut there (1m) last October is markedly better than what he's done in three starts since, but he made late gains over 7f at Musselburgh on latest start to prompt some hope given today's step up in trip.

Successful 7f debut at Southwell; just a handful of starts since, showing useful form when fourth of ten on handicap debut in a warm race on Southwell AW in October only to run poorly next time; likely to come on for last week's Kempton run but now needs to show he can hack it on turf.

Tip-top pedigree; only narrowly did he make a winning debut at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) but improved to beat a consistent/useful rival at Nottingham (extended 1m, good) where he showed a tendency to hang left in the first-time hood but still won cosily; has no fancy entries but evidently very talented and should get better.

Added to his Rowley Mile debut win here as 2yo with a Nottingham novice success (8.3f, good) on his reappearance in April; only fifth when favourite for a 1m Goodwood conditions event the following month; subsequently gelded; also goes without the hood he's worn the last twice now handicapping after ten weeks off; Bedouin Prince has to be considered the yard's first string but this fellow retains potential.

Had subsequent winners behind when doing it easily at Newmarket last October (soft) and finished close up behind Al Arbeed at the Craven meeting (good; again over 7f) despite not settling all that well; held a 2,000 Guineas entry until recently and this longer trip should be to his liking, provided he gives himself a chance to see it out.

Soft-ground debut winner who comfortably landed a C&D handicap (good) last September; failed to kick on subsequently and he's narrowly bottom of this pack on form, but this lightly raced 4yo may still have more to offer and he's the only course winner in the line-up; not discounted.
