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.
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
Career best when winning 11-runner handicap (3/1) at Kempton (6f) 15 days ago, doing better under change of tactics. Makes tapeta debut. Yard in good form. Has good chance on form.
Newmarket maiden winner at 2 yrs and improved efforts in defeat up in class this term, chasing home Crystal Zvezda on return before another third in the Ribblesdale. Leading claims dropped in grade.
Established himself as the best of his generation when landing the Epsom Derby, and preserved his unbeaten record when tackling his elders for the first time in the Eclipse at Sandown. Hard to oppose.
Made a winning debut at Southwell (1m) in December, despite looking green. Stepped up markedly on return when second at Ascot in May, and he remains with potential here.
Hasn't gone on as hoped since landing a 7f Chester maiden last summer, and hopes pinned on first-time blinkers igniting a revival here.
Looked very promising when landing a 7f maiden at the Curragh in September. Has shaped better than the bare result in a pair of handicaps to date this season and remains open to improvement.
Windsor winner in April but hasn't built on that in 2 subsequents starts and blinkers reached for first-time. 2 lb out of the handicap.
Promising individual. Made a successful return to action when winning an 11-runner maiden over C&D (good) in April. Further progress likely, particularly now handicapping, and is a big player.
Won couple of really competitive 1½m handicaps at Ascot last season. Shaped as if needing run in Old Newton Cup on return and should be spot on now. Likely to stay this far. Leading claims.
Progressed well in 2014, winning a trio of 5f handicaps. Not beaten far when fifth of 10 in the Newmarket handicap won by Humidor last month, but only tenth to Double Up at Ascot last time.
