J: David Egan

First four starts were on good to firm and he registered an ultimately authoritative win in a five-runner Listed race at Newmarket (1m2f) in May, helping to make the running and with 1m4f looking a strong option; managing just eighth of 14 in the Derby at Epsom (1m4f, soft; 28-1) 13 days ago was therefore disappointing, but the earlier impression cannot yet be discarded.

Frankel colt bought for 1,100,000gns as a yearling; all four races on good to firm; Beverley and Goodwood novice wins last summer before the Group 2 Royal Lodge saw a comprehensive end to his unbeaten record; he returned to Newmarket, however, with an ultimately authoritative win in a five-runner Listed race (1m2f) five weeks ago, helping to make the running; 1m4f beckons strongly after that and he's included in each-way calculations.

Won fast-ground novice races at Beverley (7.4f) and Goodwood (1m) last summer on his first two starts; he's better than he showed when 14l seventh of eight in the Group 2 Royal Lodge here in September (1m, good to firm; 16-1) and has Dante/Derby entries but others have more pressing claims.

J: Kieran Shoemark

Won at Chester (7.5f, good to soft) in June and ran well off this 5lb higher mark when 1l fourth of 11 at Thirsk (1m, good) three weeks ago; further improvement can't be ruled out but it's necessary if he's to return to winning ways in this hotter contest.

J: George Downing

T: Ed Walker

Sole 3yo in this field; maiden last term; gelded prior to posting form figures of 131 (over 7f-1m) this season, the wins on sharp, left-handed tracks, namely Catterick (good) and Chester (good to soft); open to further improvement, should take well to Thirsk and receives weight all round; respected.

Off the mark on his sixth start when bagging Catterick maiden (7f) on his reappearance in April and it was a solid handicap debut when third at Haydock (1m, also good) one month later; latter form has been nicely advertised subsequently and he's on the shortlist.

Made all in an Ayr novice (1m, good to soft) in September, his third start, and that form has worked out; fluffed his lines when favourite for a 1m2f nursery at Nottingham one month later; has left Adrian Keatley and makes his stable/seasonal debut in a competitive race; not fully exposed and it will be interesting to see if his backers return.

J: Luke Morris

T: Sir Mark Prescott Bt

Out of unraced half-sister to Group 1 winners at 1m2f in Hong Kong; made no impact in four 2yo starts at about 7f but he did show some promise behind highly talented rivals (the winner just lost out in a recent Group 1 in France) on his Beverley debut and sharp AW tests wouldn't have suited after; everything points to improvement for the new trip now handicapping.

9st 3lb

J: Callum Rodriguez

T: Richard & Peter Fahey

Nine-race maiden who had a couple of near misses in July, including behind Al Maslool at Chester (12.3f); looks interesting on that form, but he hung badly right at Beverley last time and needs to step up again after that well-held third of five.

Has belied a pedigree not obviously conducive to middle distances in recording two recent near misses, including a neck third at Chester latest (1m4f, good) with three reopposing rivals held; chance off an unchanged mark, assuming no adverse reaction to the debuted cheekpieces.
