Form & Verdict
Now looks a bargain at 35,000gns as a yearling and made it 2-2 (both 6f on good to firm) when quickening clear to take the Group 2 July Stakes at Newmarket, fending off the late rally of Coventry runner-up Do Or Do Not; penalised accordingly but he's bred to be even better at 7f.

Gamely won the Vintage Stakes at Goodwood and National Stakes at the Curragh (beat Gstaad) during his productive 2yo campaign; missed the 2,000 Guineas due to a setback but has shown he retains plenty of ability with fifth-place finishes in two Group 1 races this summer, the Sussex Stakes over C&D on first occasion (sole 1m attempt); highly respected back down in class.

One of the best 2yos around last season, with his head defeat of Gstaad in the Group 1 National Stakes at the Curragh (7f, yielding; unraced on softer) his most striking piece of form; a setback ruled out him out of the 2,000 Guineas after shaping encouragingly in a trial, and he got messed about at a crucial stage when fifth in the Sussex (one place behind Ten Bob Tony); this shorter trip might be a better fit for him and, as he still retains some upside, he looks a key player.

Game colt whose record of 4-5 as a 2yo featured wins in the Vintage Stakes at this meeting and National Stakes at the Curragh; latter is one of two pieces of form that tie him in with Gstaad; respectable second in the Greenham at Newbury (kept to 7f) on reappearance but missed the 2,000 Guineas due to a setback; ready for a crack at 1m and, having raced only once this season, there's still some unfinished business about him; adds interest.

All runs over 6f on good or faster ground; impressed on debut and reportedly endured a setback before his third to top prospect Albert Einstein in the Group 3 Marble Hill; carried plenty of market confidence when fourth of 20 in the Coventry at Royal Ascot (5-1) and that effort offered plenty of encouragement for this step up to 7f; interesting.

Consistent gelding whose third to the high-class Talk Of New York in Sandown Listed race (1m, good) last time was just the latest in a string of creditable efforts; should be fine back at 7f but he's beginning to look exposed and the first-time visor (replacing cheekpieces) needs to give him a lift.

Unraced on softer than good; placed in the Coventry at Royal Ascot, July Stakes at Newmarket, Vintage at Goodwood and Gimcrack at York; all those races are Group 2, so he's easily top in this on ratings but the York race last time produced a lesser display in first-time cheekpieces; they are now dispensed with and he's returned to 7f which he tried at Goodwood; Group 1 Dewhurst entry; should be on the premises.
