Won on debut at Southwell (7f, AW) in February and went close in Listed race (1m, AW) at Newcastle; soundly beaten eighth of 14 at 40-1 in the 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) this month but he was far from disgraced and is not ruled out back down in grade.

Made it three wins from his six 2yo starts when landing the Group 3 Horris Hill at Newbury (7f, soft) last October; has also won on good ground; carries a 5lb penalty on his reappearance and Talk Of New York may be his top yard's chief hope, but he won with something to spare at Newbury and could have a part to play.

Listed winner at Dundalk (7f, AW) last October and running well in defeat this year, particularly at the Curragh (1m, good; Listed) this month when 2l runner-up in first-time cheekpieces (retained); with a clear run he'd have finished closer last time and holds each-way claims under a 3lb penalty.

Promising fourth on debut at Haydock (1m, good to soft) last September and built on that to make all by nearly 2l at Newmarket (1m, good) in October; unexposed and could have more to offer but has plenty to find today.

Won last May/June on first two starts and some creditable runs since, but he's finished held at Newmarket on both outings this spring (7f, good/good to firm), including behind stablemate Talk Of New York; others preferred.

5l win on debut at Kempton (1m, AW) last November and made all by 6l in novice there (1m) the following month; takes a steep rise in grade this evening and most of today's rivals have greater substance to their form, including two of his stablemates, but it remains to be seen where his limitations lie and he's an interesting contender.

Talk Of New York (GB)

Impressive at Kempton (1m, AW) last October on sole 2yo start and returned with close Listed third at Meydan (1m, good) before comfortable conditions race win at Newmarket (7f, good) where he settled better in a first-time hood (retained); that latest form hasn't worked out well but he is William Buick's mount of the four Godolphin runners and is a key player.

Wise Prince (IRE)

Promising win at Nottingham (1m, good to soft) last October on sole 2yo start and showed up very well before fading into third in the Group 3 Classic Trial here (1m2f, good) on his reappearance; pulled hard and weakened when finishing last in the Group 2 Dante at York (1m2f, good) a fortnight ago; this drop back in trip looks the right move and he retains potential.

Two novice wins last autumn (7f, good to soft/good) and he comfortably completed the hat-trick when making all in a warm, three-runner conditions race at Southwell (1m, AW) on last month's reappearance; in top hands (one of two for the yard) and he could take this rise in grade in his stride.
