Classy juvenile and a six-time winner, including four times at this track over 5f/6f; two wins last season included a Listed heat over 5f at Naas and the Group 3 Phoenix Sprint Stakes here over 6f (both on good); weakened late over 6f in a Group 2 here last time, and not dismissed back at 5f.
British raider was in fine form at Meydan at the turn of the year, winning a Listed (yielding) and a Group 2 (good), both over 5f; didn't get the smoothest of runs when beaten 3.5l in the King Charles III at Royal Ascot last time (behind Rosy Affair and Jakajaro) and could get closer here if getting a clear passage.
Prominent racer started his campaign with back-to-back handicap wins at Newmarket (5f, good) and York (5f, good); yet to score at Pattern level but huge runs the last twice in the Group 2 Temple Stakes at Haydock (5f, good) and when a 1.5l fifth of 26 in the King Charles III (5f, gd-fm) at Royal Ascot; fourth in this last year and should be in the mix again.
Six-time handicap winner (including over C&D); took his form to a new level when winning a Listed heat at Cork (5f, good) last month when wearing this headgear combination for the first time; this is much harder, so another step forward is required.
British challenger a five-time handicap winner, most recently scoring off 92 at York in May; creditable first run in stakes company in a Sandown Group 3 last time when a 1.25l third behind the 110-rated Rumstar; that's solid form and Colin Keane keeps the faith; place chance.
Consistent British raider boasts a decent strike rate of 5-13 but her last four wins have come over 6f; finished a 1.5l fourth (a nose ahead of Jakajaro) over 5f in the King Charles III at Royal Ascot last time and there shouldn't be much between them again here; big player.
3yo son of Wootton Bassett signed off last term with an excellent second at the Breeders' Cup (5f, firm) but form has been regressive this season, albeit all three runs have come over 6f; the drop back to 5f is a positive, but he has a fair bit to find on the figures and Ryan Moore prefers the chances of Charles Darwin.
3yo won three of his four starts last season, including the Norfolk Stakes (5f, gd-fm); started off this campaign with a Listed win at Naas (6f, gd-yld) but has questions to answer after finishing well beaten in a Group 3 back at Naas and in the Commonwealth Cup in first-time blinkers (retained) on latest; the pick of Moore, but needs to get back on track down in trip.
3yo filly is 3-9 with all three of her wins coming over 5f/6f at Naas; won a Group 3 over the latter trip on her seasonal return (good) and outran her odds of 28-1 when a fine 2l fourth in the Commonwealth Cup (6f, gd-fm); gets all the allowances here and the drop back to 5f should pose no problems; big chance.
Speedy two-time Listed winner (including over C&D); yet to win this season; beaten off 95 in a handicap over C&D in June and again off 1lb lower in the Palace Of Holyrood at Royal Ascot on latest; much more needed upped in grade.
