J: Kieran Shoemark

Prior to this year all his best form was at 7f on ground good or slower, and yet he popped up at 50-1 in a fast-ground Queen Anne and proved that was no flash in the pan with his close fourth to Bow Echo in the Sussex Stakes (again 1m on good to firm), in which he was nearest at the finish having been held up out the back; hard to knock.

Came off the good pace set by Opera Ballo when 50-1 winner of the Queen Anne at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) last time, completing a quickfire June double that was initiated over 7f at Epsom; still unexposed as a miler and has frame possibilities provided the latest piece of form is backed up.

Acts particularly well on ground softer than good; very useful 7f performer who prevailed narrowly at Epsom ten days ago for a second success in the Group 3 that was formerly the John of Gaunt Stakes and run at Haydock; ran creditably over 1m in 2024 German 2,000 Guineas but this is a stiffer test at the trip and a stiffer assignment to boot.

Campaigned over 1m (on good/firmer) this season, mostly at the top level, best efforts when second in the Lockinge and Queen Anne; failed to produce his customary strong finish in the Marois most recently and this may be the right time to drop back in trip; landed a major handicap and Group 2 over 7f last term; top on the figures.

Usually held up; did very well over 6f/7f last term, including summer wins in a major handicap and Group 2; made a cracking first attempt at 1m when 2l second to Notable Speech in the Lockinge at Newbury on reappearance and backed that up by filling the same position in the Queen Anne at the Royal meeting (straight 1m, good to firm); the reopposing Zeus Olympios was behind him on both occasions; sets a good standard.

Largely progressive colt whose strike-rate of 7-10 includes wins this year at Meydan (Group 1) and Sandown (made all for a particularly good Group 2 performance under a penalty); collared only towards the finish by Ten Bob Tony and one other rival in the Queen Anne at Royal Ascot (good to firm) most recently, deserving credit having set a solid pace over that stiff 1m; flexible tactically and doesn't necessarily need to front-run; the pick of the older runners on ratings and duly commands respect.

Record is 4-8, the most recent success gained comfortably in Newmarket Group 3 on seasonal debut when completing a 1m2f/1m1f hat-trick; disappointing in the Lockinge (1m) since, not looking entirely beaten by the drop back in trip, but he's difficult to write off having been broadly progressive otherwise; rebound is possible.

Not the first time he's failed to fire at Ascot when a disappointing favourite in the Queen Anne, having previously looked better than ever in showing his trademark turn of foot to win the Lockinge at Newbury (good); renowned as a top-class domestic/international miler but he didn't run badly in last year's July Cup and should be fully effective at 7f; while fast ground shows him at his brilliant best, he nearly won a French Group 1 last season on good to soft; commands the utmost respect.
