Off the mark at the fifth attempt in Gowran Park maiden (1m, good) in May (runner-up has won since); came up well short in St James's Palace at Royal Ascot latest; this is more realistic; can't dismiss on handicap debut.

Tad frustrating in maiden races until improving for first-time tongue-tie at Gowran Park (1m, good) most recently, opening his account with a ready win from the front; faces a markedly stiffer task upped in class and is possibly in here as pacemaker for the yard's main hope Henri Matisse.

Ran respectably on soft ground once, raced on faster otherwise; Ballydoyle colt whose record is 6-9 and who has form figures of 112 over 1m, the wins in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf (by a neck) and French 2,000 Guineas (by a head); ran well, albeit no match for Field Of Gold, in the St James's Palace Stakes most recently; solid contender who should be involved but has work to do to reverse placings with the Gosden colt.

Ballydoyle colt whose record is 6-8; he is 2-2 over 1m, having won the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf (by a neck) on firm ground last November and the French 2,000 Guineas (by a head) on good ground last month; ties in closely with Field Of Gold on one piece of 2yo form; could well have even more to offer at this distance and is one of the main contenders, contributing to a gripping clash of Guineas winners; trainer has landed this prize nine times.

Beat subsequent Group 1 winners Hotazhell and Scorthy Champ in Group 2 Futurity at the Curragh; looked an awkward ride when failing to uphold form with Scorthy Champ in National Stakes; probably unsuited by soft ground when below form in Prix Jean-Luc Legardere; came good in style over 1m on quick ground at the Breeders' Cup.

Has raced exclusively at the Curragh, most recently coming up well short in the Irish 2,000 Guineas behind two of today's rivals; progressive otherwise and comfortably bagged Listed honours the time before; may do better still but needs to prove he's Group 1 class and Henri Matisse is the stable's chief contender.

The 2024 Coventry at Royal Ascot as 2yo remains his only win; runner-up to Jonquil on 2025 reappearance and ran creditably at 1m/1m2f on most subsequent starts, before a fruitless go at 1m4f at the Breeders' Cup in USA; each-way chance if he's tuned up but yard is not yet off the mark this term.

Won the Coventry at Royal Ascot last June; contested Group 1s on four of five starts since, on varied ground and this season taking fourth behind impressive Field Of Gold in both the Irish 2,000 Guineas at the Curragh and St James's Palace Stakes back at Royal Ascot; they were at 1m and there's no certainty that 1m2f will suit but he's not dismissed with his sights lowered.

Recorded an 80-1 success in the Coventry here last year; finished in front of Field Of Gold on the Arc card but failed to confirm the placings in the Irish 2,000 Guineas most recently, coming home just over 5l behind that improving opponent; remains a very useful and consistent sort (form figures read 3212224) but needs a personal best to grab further Royal Ascot glory.

Landed the 2,000 Guineas, albeit having got first run on the somewhat unlucky Field Of Gold, then was trained for the Derby but missed that Classic as the ground was deemed not fast enough (has raced only on good/firmer); tackling 1m at Royal Ascot backfired as his speed looked blunted after being geared up for 1m4f at Epsom; definitely ready for this step up in distance and he was very progressive prior to last time.

Justify colt who was a 2,300,000euros breeze-up purchase as a 2yo; raced only on good/firmer and was a late withdrawal from the Derby this month as the surface was deemed not fast enough; record of 3-4 includes two emphatic wins; held on by half a length from Field Of Gold in the 2,000 Guineas most recently, having got first run on that rival; improving sharply and, with his ceiling probably not yet reached, commands major respect in the rematch.

Two minor honours in Group races, including second at Sandown (1m2f) on seasonal debut; however, dropped away in the closing stages of the Irish 2,000 Guineas and ended up behind three of today's rivals; the cheekpieces worn that day are retained; needs major improvement.
