    Form & Verdict
    Big chunk of improvement on his second start when winning comfortably at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) last month; Oisin Murphy retains the ride and this return to turf is unlikely to pose a problem; draw on the wing is probably unhelpful but he can't be readily dismissed.

    Chased home Star Prospect at the Curragh (soft) in April but made odds-on backers sweat when just coming out the right side of a three-horse photo at Naas (also 5f, good) three weeks later; up to 6f when good second to Great Barrier Reef in Curragh Group 3 last time and that form looks all the better after his conqueror won the Coventry on Tuesday; drop back to this stiff 5f is unlikely to be an issue and he commands great respect from a stable that's won this four times, including last year.

    Beat 11 others to pick up Leicester maiden (good to firm) in April on second start; only sixth of eight in a Listed event at Sandown (again 5f, good) last time but that doesn't tell the whole story, given he bungled the start before coming home well; runner-up that day filled the same position in Tuesday's Coventry; might be the sort to go well at wild odds; visor added.

    Stable has fond memories of this race, having won it in 2021 and 2022, and this colt recorded an encouraging first go when third at York (6f, good) four weeks ago; that bare form leaves him with work to do but this drop to 5f is unlikely to pose a problem.

    All starts at 5f; odds-on when winning on his debut at Dundalk (AW) in April but he let favourite backers down in a big way on his turf debut the following month and again could beat only one home at Naas (also good) a fortnight later; hood goes on.

    Set the standard and didn't need to improve a great deal from his debut when taking 15-runner York novice (6f, good) last month; not far off the top of the list on RPRs and holds a Group 1 entry, so can't be passed over lightly in the hands of a trainer who won this in 2014.

    Produced a good burst to beat Carry The Flag and win going away at the Curragh (soft) on April introduction but could manage only an odds-on third at Naas (also 5f, good; raced freely) one month later; that race was a bit of a mess and there's a strong suspicion this one will set up better; holds notable future entries and he's interesting from a yard that is having a fairytale week.

    Hails from a yard in ripping form and he played his part when making a winning debut, despite having to run with one of his shoes missing, at Sandown (5f, good) just eight days ago; coincidentally his sire Perfect Power won this race in 2021 having also scored eight days beforehand; a likely outsider who needs considering.

    Probably should have won on her debut at Keeneland in April and was long odds-on when making no mistake, breaking the track record in the process, at Aqueduct (also 5.5f, firm) last month; looks a typical speedball for a US yard that's won the Norfolk twice, including with this one's sire in 2013; one of three intriguing Wesley Ward fillies.
