Form & Verdict
Record of 5-13 and his last two wins were in Group 3 at Southwell (1m3f) last January and a Listed event at Kempton (1m2f) this spring; ran into some trouble when creditable sixth of 16 in Listed Wolferton Stakes at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm) and he was only narrowly denied back in a Group 3 at Haydock two weeks ago; was as good as ever with that bold bid and he's the standout contender in this line-up.

Best turf form when just over 2l sixth of 16 in Listed race at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm) latest start, a race which Haatem won but this 5yo gave him 3lb and eventually ran on well after trouble in running; on that evidence there's not much between them and they are leading contenders.

Added to his very good AW record with a stylish win in a Listed race at Kempton (1m2f) in April but he wasn't in quite the same form when fourth (Phantom Flight third) in the Brigadier Gerard at Sandown since and there are doubts as to whether he's still as effective on turf as AW; also has a 3lb penalty for the Kempton win.

Form & Verdict
Formerly trained in France/Qatar; mixed results in three runs in Britain this season but he dominated a C&D handicap (good to firm) in May and was a respectable fifth of 18 at Glorious Goodwood last time; hasn't been far off his best in those two runs but this is much tougher in this Group 3 and he's bottom of the pack on the figures.

Formerly trained in France/Qatar; won comfortably from the front in six-runner race at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm; 7lb higher today) in May on British debut; failed to cope with 1m in the Royal Hunt Cup next time but presumably of much more interest back at 1m2f.

Form & Verdict
Impressive 1m2f AW win on second 2yo run; disappointing in two of his three runs this season but he had excuse over 1m6f in Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot and that was after a rallying fourth in the Group 2 Dante at York (1m2f, good to firm); looks interesting on that form and he could resume his progress back at this trip; gelded since his last run.

Highlight last season was a very useful performance in 1m2f handicap at Doncaster, suggesting he's verging on Group class; creditable second, despite usual cheekpieces being removed, in AW Listed event at Kempton on reappearance; possibilities with the headgear back on.

Bit of a mixed bag last year but showed some useful form, as when fourth of 11 in the Dante at York (1m2f, good to firm) in May and winning a 0-105 handicap at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft); won on Polytrack at Chelmsford as a 2yo and very much favoured by these terms; respected.

Ended last season with a novice win at Brighton (1m, soft) and he started this one with an emphatic win on handicap debut at Nottingham (1m2f, good); respectable efforts when highly tried in Group 3/Listed events in his last three runs but he's not made a major impact and needs to find more improvement.

Form & Verdict
Ran well in the Solario and Royal Lodge last term but he's not been at his very best this season and was well-held fifth in Listed race at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) last month; now 0-7 since his debut win last summer and he still has something to prove at this trip; others preferred.
