Comment: The form of his debut win at Leicester (5f, good) in April worked out well and he was a fine third at 66-1 in the Group 2 Coventry at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm); strong contender for trainer who won this in 2019 and 2020.

Comment: Won on debut at Leicester (5f, good to firm) in April and he's gone close in Listed and Group 2 races at Chantilly this summer (5f/6f, good to soft/soft) either side of finishing down the field in the Coventry at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm); there's a suspicion this is a warmer race than those French contests but he could give another good account.

Comment: Won here (5f, good) on debut and landed the Listed Windsor Castle (5f, good to firm) at Royal Ascot; outstayed when second to Maximized in the Woodcote at Epsom (6f, good to soft) in between but well worth another go at 6f, if on better ground, given how he kept on for a short-head second in the Super Sprint at Newbury (5f, good) 12 days ago; respected.

Comment: Went close in a maiden at the Curragh (6f, good) in June on second start then no match for exciting stablemate True Love when second of four in the Group 2 Railway Stakes there (6f, good); 0-3 and improvement needed but he's the sole Ballydoyle runner and no surprise if he takes a step forward.

Comment: Improved upon Leicester debut (6f, good) to win at York (6f, good to firm) last month and he followed up when making all in a novice at Newbury (6f, good); today is a much tougher test of his credentials but he had 2l to spare last time from a fellow previous winner and is not ruled out.

Comment: Won in good style on debut at Hamilton (5f, good) in May; 2l third of 23 behind Havana Hurricane in the Listed Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) last month, keeping on well, when away from the main action, and he's open to improvement now at 6f; likely player.

Comment: Won by 2l on debut at Ayr (6f, good to firm) in May and bounced back from heavy defeat in the Coventry at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm) with easy all-the-way win in Ayr novice (6f, good) this month; back up in grade today and still has potential at this level; not discounted.

Comment: Left May's debut (6f, good) miles behind with comfortable win in Fairyhouse maiden (6f, good) three weeks ago; others have a lot more substance to their form but his yard's British runners are often worth a second look and it remains to be seen where his limitations lie; not ruled out each-way.

Comment: Won on debut at Haydock (6f, good to firm) in May and followed up in the Woodcote at Epsom (6f, good to soft), beating subsequent Windsor Castle winner Havana Hurricane; only fifth of six when favourite for the Group 2 July Stakes at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) but remains of interest in view of his previous promise; could have a part to play in first-time headgear.
