Dante entry; progressive with 3-4 record in Britain last season, ending with a Listed win from the front at Pontefract (1m, soft); however, beaten a long way in Saudi Arabia this February and although back near his 2yo form in Listed race at Newmarket (1m1f, good; disputed lead 2f out) three weeks ago, that was good enough for only fifth of seven to Morshdi; major work to do.

Beaten long way in Saudi Arabia in sole outing this year; 3-4 on home soil and made all for a clearcut success in Listed event at Pontefract (1m, soft) the final time; probably needs to resume that progress to defy a 3lb penalty in this rather deeper race for the grade.

Won on debut at Haydock (7f, good) in August before Listed third there (1m, good) behind the subsequent Royal Lodge winner, and he's since readily landed a three-runner conditions race at Epsom (8.5f, good); leading claims.

Runner-up on both 2yo starts (1m/8.5f) and not beaten far when sixth of ten in what has predictably turned out to be a strong Newbury novice (1m2f, good) last month, despite racing too freely in the lead; will be hard to beat if first-time hood helps him to relax here.

Dante and Derby entry; 300,000gns yearling by Nathaniel; second as 2yo in small fields for a novice event at Goodwood (1m, good to firm) and conditions stakes at Epsom (8.5f, good); had no answers in the latter to a subsequent Listed winner but stuck to his task well and 1m2f+ will suit.

Two runs last September, belying 25-1 odds when quite impressive over 7f on Lingfield AW; had a much stiffer task at Epsom after (about 1m, good), albeit ran as well as could have been expected in a three-runner conditions race; should have some handicap potential off his opening mark.
