Gained a fourth Flat win with a hard-earned success in the 1m6f Old Borough Cup at Haydock last September; stamped himself as a useful recruit to hurdling when scoring at Cork last month. |

Looked one to follow when impressive on handicap debut at Ascot (1m4f, soft) last September; failed to kick on from that initially but got back on track with convincing win in small field at Ripon (1m4f, soft) in July; could have more to offer for top yard now things have clicked again, especially now back up in trip, and he's not necessarily a soft-ground specialist. |

9st 4lb |
Registered his highest rating in 1m6f Listed race on soft ground last April (his only time front-running); always prominent when strong finish took him to a handicap win at the Curragh (1m6f, yielding) this term and, although he wasn't discredited over 2m later in June, this trip on softer than good may well be the best fit; wears headgear for the first time. |

Hasn't won since landing premier handicap at the Curragh in October 2024 (1m2f, good); remains 6lb above that last success but shaped as though coming back to form at the Curragh on latest and ran well at this meeting in 2023 and 2024; could go well. |

Group 3 winner ran a huge race in the Cesarewitch at Newmarket (2m2f, gd-fm) last October, beaten just 1.25l into second; just 1lb higher here but hasn't really fired in three runs this term and this trip looks on the sharp side. |

Close second here one year ago; bossed a five-runner handicap at Newmarket (1m2f) impressively this May; doing the same wasn't possible at Royal Ascot, where he wasn't at all discredited in seventh, but he was able to dictate at Newmarket three weeks ago, so what he produced to take 5l fifth of six that day wouldn't cut the mustard in today's race. |

Decent form last year included a Group 3 placing behind Derby winner Christmas Day; form has gone the wrong way so far this year, though it wasn't a terrible run at Galway on latest (1m4f, yld-sft); eased 1lb for that 5.25l defeat; needs more back in trip. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |

A heavy defeat over hurdles five weeks ago was his only race since October; however, he won three of his four starts once equipped with this headgear on Flat last July-October; the furthest of those wins was 1m5f and he was well beaten trying 1m6f, but it may be rash to dismiss him as a stayer, given he's brother to Magellan Strait who won the 2023 Irish Cesarewitch (2m1f) and half-brother to Lagostovegas who won this race in 2018. |

Enjoyed a career highlight when winning the Group 1 Tattersalls Gold Cup in 2021; very nearly matched that achievement when first-past-the-post in this race last year, demoted for causing interference to Ndaawi; no sign of that standard of form in valuable handicap over hurdles or on the Flat since then; still 5lb higher than 12 months ago. |

Ex-Polish and German, placed in 1m2f Group races in 2024; took a while to find his level in Irish handicaps but decisively landed a gamble in a 24-runner race at the Curragh (1m6f, good) in May; should stay this far but never threatened at Royal Ascot (2m4f, sole start on officially good to firm) next time and weakened right out of it at Galway (2m1f) on latest, which leaves him with something to prove again. |

Verdict
A 3yo has won the last three editions, and CANNES gets the vote to continue the trend following last month's second in a 1m6f Listed event at this track. That race also brings Wyman into calculations. The sole British challenger Evanesco makes plenty of appeal on the strength of a 1m4f win at Hamilton. Night Moon is perhaps the most interesting of a Willie Mullins trio, though The Reverend is the class act of the race and will benefit from Sam Coen's claim. This Songisforyou is worth a market check. Sunny South West could be a lively outsider. [Alan Sweetman]Selections
