Form & Verdict
Odds-on for a couple of 1m contests, showing a good turn of foot to win at Kempton (AW) then clear third at Meydan (Listed) where he did reasonably well having pulled hard in the early stages; may settle better dropped in trip with hood applied; holds a 2,000 Guineas entry (prominent in that market) and remains a promising colt.

Unraced on ground softer than good; sometimes fails to settle but he is very talented and has progressive form, mostly over 1m; emphatically justified favouritism in Group 2 at Newmarket last time, taking record to 4-7 and gaining compensation for a Glorious Goodwood loss that would have been a win but for ending up with too much to do; good third in the St James's Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot in sole Group 1 attempt; leading contender.

J: William Buick

T: Charlie Appleby

7f course winner who has been hooded for last four starts; can prove a handful but he looked very good when winning the Listed Heron at Sandown in May and it was a cracking effort when third to leading 3yo milers in the St James's Place at Royal Ascot in June; last time turned into a mess when sent off 2-5 and second in Goodwood Group 3 (again 1m); strong claims.

J: William Buick

Progressive colt whose record is 3-5; came off strong pace set by a stablemate and stormed clear to win the Heron Stakes at Sandown on penultimate start, then ran well in the St James's Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) despite pulling hard in the early stages; the form pick and his chance will be cemented if settling better than last time.

Form & Verdict
Progressive last summer and the form has substance; finished third to the subsequent Dewhurst winner then justifying favouritism twice, the final performance at Ffos Las (7.4f, good); probably has a better chance than bare ratings suggest.

Lightly raced 3yo; faded after being pestered for the lead in German Group 2 in May, but he'd previously posted a personal best when second to the high-class Talk Of New York in conditions race at Newmarket (7f, good) on reappearance; bred to stay at least 1m; makes handicap debut and might have been let in lightly.

Form & Verdict
Brings useful 6f form that includes a success in the Woodcote as a 2yo and two placed efforts, since a gelding operation, at Meydan this year; a reasonably solid contender over this new trip, albeit William Buick prefers stablemate Talk Of New York.

6f novice win as a 2yo; better form when fourth in a Listed race at Chantilly (6.5f, AW) in March but less good twice since; 7f and heavy ground are valid excuses for the last two runs and he is not yet fully exposed.

Beaten at Chepstow on debut but looked far more with it at Lingfield (6f, good) when dominating from the front down the 'golden highway' up the stands' rail; would probably have beaten inferior opposition no matter how he was ridden, but that didn't smack of Royal Ascot-winning material; improvement is possible but it's certainly necessary.

Form & Verdict
Showed big promise in the autumn, finishing third over C&D then scoring impressively at Lingfield (7f, AW); beaten favourite in Listed event at latter track on reappearance but ran well in terms of form, despite a tardy start; open to further progress and remains of major interest.

Wide-margin Lingfield maiden winner (AW) who ran on for fourth in a 7f Listed race there on reappearance; hasn't confirmed that promise in three subsequent outings back on turf but a wide stall was always going to make life hard in a big field on 7f Goodwood handicap debut in May and it's possible he failed to stay 1m in the Britannia at Royal Ascot since.

All runs 7f, the win in an AW maiden in November; gelded after disappointing in a classy conditions race and his handicap debut at Goodwood (good) last time was fairly eye-catching when he had a wicked draw and saw his race out well (behind Pathein, Wechaad and New Monarch); not dismissed.
