Signed off 2-y-o campaign in perfect fashion in a Ripon nursery, and neither 3-y-o outing has seen him to best effect, racing too close to strong pace at Goodwood (9f). Drop back to 1m will suit.
Won a Kempton maiden last September (6f) and matched that form when placed twice in handicaps this spring. Remains unexposed, so may have more to offer.
Improved with each of her 3 starts as a juvenile, narrow winner of Lingfield maiden (1m, AW) in December. Failed to improve as anticipated on York reappearance but well worth another chance.
Made all to land a 7f maiden on his third start at 2 yrs, though hasn't scaled those heights since, including in 2 starts this year. Stable in fine form, though, and not one to discount.
Got up close home when making a winning debut at Redcar (7f) in October. Still signs of greenness when fourth on return/handicap debut at Pontefract 16 days ago, and it remains early days with her.
Out with the washing on return at Beverley, but much more like it when chasing home the irrepressible Red Baron at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) subsequently. Needs considering off the same mark here.
Just keeps getting better, landing Chester Group 3 on return before following up in York listed event. Proved stamina when fourth in Doncaster Cup and not to be underestimated despite top weight.
Better than ever when runner-up in a hood at Newmarket (7f) in May. 2 lb higher now, but not long with this yard, so possible he may have even more to offer.
Respectable 1½ lengths third of 12 to Trip To Paris in Gold Cup (5/2) at Royal Ascot (20f, firm) 10 days ago. Return to this trip no problem, and sets a solid standard here. Obvious claims.
Slowly away on debut, when finishing tenth of 13 in maiden at Sandown (10f, good to soft) in April. Possibly found Salisbury race coming too soon, but pedigree/connections offer hope of better.
Promising individual. 2/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Epsom (8.5f, good) 77 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Maybe just needed that run, and not one to be giving up on yet. Leading claims.
C&D winner. 11/4, good second of 7 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good) 16 days ago. Yard having good spell. Less exposed than most of these and sure to make bold bid from the 1 stall.
Won a brace of 7f handicaps in 2014 and further improvement this year, notching a clear-cut sucess over 6f at Ayr last month. That form been boosted since and still looks well treated after 6 lb rise.
Got up close home when making a winning debut at Redcar (7f) in October. Better than bare result both starts in handicaps at this trip so far this term, and she remains the type to do better.
Confirmed promise of sole 2-y-o start when striking in a Windsor maiden on return last year. Failed to land a blow when reappearing this time round at Salisbury but will be sharper now.
Improved a chunk when quickening smartly for third career-win at Ayr (6f) in June (Shared Equity back in third). May have an even bigger performance in him, so very much respected again.
Very smart filly. Career best when winning 12-runner Prix de Saint-Georges (73/10) at Longchamp (5f, good) 69 days ago by 2 lengths from Robert Le Diable, pushed out. The one to beat.
Hard to escape the conclusion that he's something of an underachiever, but has already shown this season he's more than capable of playing a big part here if the cards fall right.
Latest win at Navan in April. 11¾ lengths ninth of 11 to Time Test in Tercentenary Stakes at Royal Ascot (10f, firm, 11/2) 31 days ago, not knocked about.
Made little impact on debut for new yard, when well-beaten in handicap at York (5f, good to firm) in May. Still lightly-raced however, and not discounted on
