Fourth on heavy on debut but marched through the ranks with wins in all his four starts since; the last two were on good going (unraced on firmer) at the Curragh where he asserted by 2l late on in a 1m Listed race and led well over 1f out when prevailing by a head in 1m2f Group 3; the cheekpieces worn on penultimate start are now restored; likely to stay 1m4f and has the best form; needs great respect coming from top stable and a top family.

Left Gowran debut effort behind to win a 7f maiden here last October on very soft ground; won the Madrid handicap at Naas (7f, soft) on seasonal return off 94; preferred by Ryan Moore to his higher-rated stablemate Neolithic in a 1m Listed race here 19 days ago; won comfortably and can continue on the upgrade; pedigree suggests this trip will be within his range.

Left Gowran debut effort behind to win a 7f maiden here (sft-hvy) last October; won the Madrid handicap at Naas (7f, soft) on seasonal return off 94; that form has taken some knocks but interesting that Moore prefers him to his higher-rated stablemate Neolithic; unproven on quick ground; cheekpieces go on.

First four starts were on good to firm and he registered an ultimately authoritative win in a five-runner Listed race at Newmarket (1m2f) in May, helping to make the running and with 1m4f looking a strong option; managing just eighth of 14 in the Derby at Epsom (1m4f, soft; 28-1) 13 days ago was therefore disappointing, but the earlier impression cannot yet be discarded.

Frankel colt bought for 1,100,000gns as a yearling; all four races on good to firm; Beverley and Goodwood novice wins last summer before the Group 2 Royal Lodge saw a comprehensive end to his unbeaten record; he returned to Newmarket, however, with an ultimately authoritative win in a five-runner Listed race (1m2f) five weeks ago, helping to make the running; 1m4f beckons strongly after that and he's included in each-way calculations.

Won fast-ground novice races at Beverley (7.4f) and Goodwood (1m) last summer on his first two starts; he's better than he showed when 14l seventh of eight in the Group 2 Royal Lodge here in September (1m, good to firm; 16-1) and has Dante/Derby entries but others have more pressing claims.

2yo winner on soft here; stuck to his task well for his extremely narrow, front-running win in four-runner Listed race at Goodwood (1m3f, good) in May; however, he subsided to a well-beaten fourth of five in Group 2 King Edward VII at Royal Ascot (1m4f, good to firm; made most) and hasn't been seen since; lightly raced and this trip is plausible, but he has tons to prove.

Brother to 1m4f Great Voltigeur third Arabian Force; rather pulled himself up in front when winning his only start as 2yo (1m, soft); still green on reappearance at Chester (1m2f, good) behind the subsequent French Derby winner Constitution River, but he stuck to his task well and that was even more the hallmark of his extremely narrow, front-running win in four-runner Listed race at Goodwood (1m3f, good) four weeks ago; the runner-up last time was again beaten a nose in the 1m6f Group 2 here on Wednesday; this one is getting the hang of it and a much bigger performance could be on its way.

Has led; smart at the right level, outclassed in the 2,000 Guineas (80-1) in May but he found his niche when winning the Italian Derby over 1m3f (heavy); had won a novice on good to firm as a 2yo but perhaps that ground didn't help when coming home in his own time in a Group 2 at Royal Ascot since; has it to prove this time.

Won on good to firm as 2yo; 80-1 when among the backmarkers in the 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) in May in first-time cheekpieces; all change with blinkers, 1m3f and heavy going for the Derby Italiano at Milan 17 days ago and it worked a treat as he came home strongly from midfield to win in the final strides; that was a doughty performance and this is another Group 2, but he faces stronger opposition.

Has finished behind some of today's rivals on two occasions, latest in the Craven when admittedly running well on bare figures; gained sole success (from five attempts) at novice level and looks well short of the required standard in this field; first-time headgear needs to make a difference.
