Comment Big effort when second in the Dash at Epsom on Derby day in June and it was a career best when winning a Chantilly Listed event (also 5f, good; Lesslepasser and Ciao Pa' behind) just over a fortnight later; has come up short in a Group 2 and Group 1 since so this drop down in grade should help; first-time blinkers replace usual cheekpieces.

Comment Landed a hat-trick in the first half of 2024, which culminated with an unchallenged success in a Chantilly Group 2 (5f, heavy) in June; plenty of subsequent good efforts give him a shot today and he had a confidence booster when winning easily in his homeland at Most last month; only beaten 1l, despite finishing seventh, in a wild finish to this race last year; respected.

Comment Not the most consistent but it was a fine effort when second in a Group 3 over C&D (good to soft; Ponntos second, Lesslepasser behind) in May; nowhere near that in handicaps on his last two starts, though.

Comment Looked to be on the up when landing a Listed race here (7f, very soft) in April but hasn't built on that in two starts since, including when dropped back down to 6f last time; first start at 5f and shaped like that may help last time; far too soon to write him off.

Comment Came right back to form on her second start for this yard when landing the Group 3 Gros-Chene at Chantilly (5f, good to soft), with Lesslepasser, Ponntos and Ciao Pa' behind, in June; not seen since an honourable eighth of 20 in the Group 1 King Charles III at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm; 150-1) a fortnight later; finished an unlucky eighth in this last year; firmly in the mix is she's ready to go.

Comment Finished behind Monteille in the Group 1 King Charles III at Royal Ascot but it was arguably a career best, and certainly a firm step back in the right direction, when fourth of 11 in a Deauville Listed race (5f, good; Lesslepasser eighth) last month; needs more again but that's by no means unlikely.

Comment Comfortably won a Chantilly Listed event (6f, good to soft; Estepona third) in early June and she took it up another notch with a smashing third of 21 in the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup (6f, good to firm) at Royal Ascot 19 days later; didn't back that up in the 6.5f Maurice de Gheest last time but she shaped as though this drop down to 5f is well worth exploring; interesting.
